Sixteen Candles (1984)

Classic 80's
Probably the most risque of the John Hughes Brat Pack movie, this concerns a girl whose family has forgotten her birthday and she tries to survive this tragedy of the epic proportions by crushing on the hottest guy in school, Jake Ryan.
Anthony Michael Hall and his geek co-horts steal the movie by really giving the idea of geek a face that will last for decades. John and Joan Cusack show up in small parts (that water fountain scene with Joan is pure genius) that resonate.
It is a fun highschool comedy that tests the boundaries of what you can get away with when you have teens on screen.
Everything that came after was somewhat watered down, but 'Candles' burns bright.
