John Hughes for My Birthday
I just received two of my favorite flicks for my birthday. My birthday was a while back, but I love it when gifts trickle in. It was well worth the wait! (Thanks, Jack!)
The first is Pretty in Pink (Everything’s Duckie Edition) which advertises a “making of” reel, a photo gallery, the original ending (???) and several other featurettes. “If You Leave,” is already running in my head.
The second movie is Some Kind of Wonderful (Special Collector’s Edition). Some of the special features listed on this one include “Meet the Cast,” “John Hughes Time Capsule”, and a “making of” reel as well. I love this movie, and can’t wait until we have a spare minute to watch it. The extra features are a huge plus, as they’re often more interesting to me than movies themselves (though I doubt that in this case).
So, there you have it, two John Hughes movies in one gift. Not bad, aye?

[…] Howard the Duck came up when I was watching the extras on the Some Kind of Wonderful (Special Collector’s Edition)DVD. Leah Thompson talks about how she was approached for the film (maybe for the second time? I think she turned it down the first time.) right as Howard the Duck was being released and was totally flopping. That would be nervewracking to agree to help anchor a movie when the last one was so bad. Yikes! […]

[…] Not only did John Hughes quite ably portray the fears, desires, hopes and challenges of the 80’s teenager, he also did a phenomenal job of presenting the worst in the villians of his films. Steve Spears has a great list of Hughes’ villians and all of their awful attributes. Head on over there and join the conversation in the comments section, and let me know who you chose as your best of the worst villians! […]

[…] What the heck does this have to do with The 80’s Club, you ask? Well, this episode featured one of my favorite 80’s moody/confused/frustrated/angst-filled teens, Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Alan Ruck was perfect in the role of Cameron, I thought, and cracked me up in Spin City. The promo for next week’s Medium showed a clip with Eric Stoltz. He did star in one of my favorite 80s movies of all time. I take it he’s been a visitor to Patricia Arquette before? […]
