John Hughes as early girl-power guru? Hmm. It also means, come to think of it, that in each film the strong young woman who knows her mind is absolutely right and proven so at the end. And in Sixteen Candles, Samantha does belong with Jake, just like she’s told The Geek, and Andie in Pretty in Pink does belong with Blane, just like she’s told Duckie. Watts is right, she does belong with Keith. Which makes this film’s ending a twist for Hughes.īut in all three of these movies the girl does get the guy of her dreams. Turn To The Sky - The March Violets('Some Kind Of Wonderful' - 'Un Meraviglioso Batticuore', 1987)YOU CAN BUY THE SOUNDTRACK HERE.

So our main character’s perfect match turns out to be the best friend he’s confided in all along. He does, and the film ends with a real Keith/Watts kiss and the timeless line, “You look good wearing my future.” They walk into the rain to an irresistible remake of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” by a band with a regrettable name, Lick the Tins. Amanda sweetly gives back the earrings and tells Keith to give them to Watts. They leave the party, and Amanda realizes Keith loves Watts at the same moment he does. The plot is foiled when a bunch of leather-wearing misfits he met in detention show up to defend Keith. Photographs were produced by the film studios and television networks to publicize their movies. The photograph is in excellent vintage condition.
