I was awful happy to see CarsmileSteve mention John Hughes and this vision of loveliness that is Molly Ringwald. What a truly marvellous woman she is (well, was). I spent quite some time in the pub discussing my fave 80s teen movies this afternoon, and shocked all my friends with the fact that I had to write an essay on The Breakfast Club last year. Yes, a grand a year tutition fees and I end up studying a big nostriled, yet oddly attractive boy called Bender. What an education I'm getting. I forget what I learned about the film, exactly, except that through extensive research I found out that Bender's joke doesn't really exist and thus has no ending. May I also recommend Some Kind of Wonderful, which is my best all time 80's film. Starring Eric Stoltz as the boy from the wrong side of the tracks and Lea Thompson as the rich bitch (although she isn't really) it's a wonderful example of film-making by numbers but it's cracking. And Joy Division are on the soundtrack. I got my tickets for Birmingham today but I'm a bit too sleepy to feel excited. It will be nice to go to Brum, though, as I spent the first three years of my life there. Very few memories except weeing in places that I shouldn't and getting laughed at by my big sister. I hope that doesn't happen every time I go to Birmingham....
