"that is why they call them crushes if they were easy they would call them something else!"
I got to see this as a midnight movie on the big screen a few years ago...and I remember writing on here how little things stuck out in my mind i never noticed before.
One was noticing the nail polish in the girls lockers and I remember in the theater noticing the cheesy dj at the dance sorta looking like a Culture Club wannabe....no matter how many times I have seen it, it gave it a new light. I was lucky. If only I wasn't drunk when I saw Goonies at midnight and kept nodding off....stupid decision!!!

Muffy...I totally enjoy my movie watching set-up in my basement, but I will agree that seeing some of these 80's classics on the big screen is a completely different experience. I wish there was a theater in my area similar to The New Bev in LA. I even like the midnight showing idea..kind of like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" from the 80's.

There's a movie theatre in Chicago called the Music Box that shows 80's movies every weekend at midnight. Sometimes, they even have stars or directors there at the screening as well. I've seen "Nightmare on Elm Street" while Robert Englund was there and "Friday the 13th" with most of the cast there.

Where is it at Veronica?! I must go! Is there schedule that you know of or do you just have to check on Thrusdays or something? Does it get pretty crowded (hard to get tickets?)?

Earl, here is the web site for the theatre - Music Box Theatre
You can find a schedule of events there for upcoming movies. I think you can join a mailing list too. Tonight they're showing "Neverending Story."
Tickets are actually really easy to come by and the theatre is really cool too. Usually, every year in October they do a 24 hour movie marathon of horror movies and invite a ton of actors and directors. I didn't go last year, but I did go in 2008 and it was a blast! Great mixture of people and everyone gets really into the movies. People always clap during the opening credits when they see an actor they like and that kind of thing. It's definitely my favorite place to see movies!

Sixteen Candles was just on Starz so I had to watch it. Still an excellent movie all these years later. Does anyone remember a 2 record or 2 tape set of the soundtrack what was out years ago. I remember seeing it in Sam Goody's when I was in high school but then I could only find the cassette with 4 or 5 songs on it.

One of my favorite quotes, "She's totally serious, assswipe!". I try to work it into conversations all the time, but usually it never applies and then people look at me funny.

Watching "Sixteen Candles" in HD for the first time! The soundtrack is the best I've ever heard it.
