Then I think it would be a death match between Ferris and Sixteen Candles. Then Comes Pretty in Pink. I still listen to that soundtrack at least three times a month. Uncle Buck would rank high based purely on the fact I forgot I spent my entire senior year of college telling anyone and everyone "Your dog's a ball sniffer." Did anyone I said it to actually have a dog? Didn't matter. I'm also a fan of She's Having a Baby, and not just because watching it reminds me of the hotness potential that used to be Alec Baldwin.<br /><br />Finally, I will go to my grave denouncing Weird Science.for a different kind of girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350642370729096785.post-16549710280239286512010-07-13T17:40:56.528-04:002010-07-13T17:40:56.528-04:00As usual, my views will be considered a bit "...As usual, my views will be considered a bit "off" by others but, at least not too far off in this case.<br /><br />I put Some Kind of Wonderful and Breakfast Club 1 and 2 (though even I am not sure which goes 1st... sort of a 1 and 1a if you will), followed closely by Ferris.<br /><br />The remainder of the list is pretty much standard until the end. The Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck were, I thought, the worst of Hughes works. <br /> I'd replace them with Curly Sue and (here is where I will be really alone), the remake of Miracle on 34th St. (I loved Mara Wilson, Richard Attenborough and Dylan McDermott in this version). <br /><br />There are some on this list that it seems so wrong to be so low (She's Having a Baby and Home Alone), and would probably be Number 1's on anybody elses list... but for Huges, I guess they are just right)JayMonsterhttp://tripleventi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350642370729096785.post-6220837948199817612010-07-13T17:29:28.138-04:002010-07-13T17:29:28.138-04:00I always thought Ferris was a jerk.I always thought Ferris was a jerk.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810156368520745972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350642370729096785.post-71925538030872751332010-07-13T17:16:52.880-04:002010-07-13T17:16:52.880-04:00They take old stuff that we all love and just murd...They take old stuff that we all love and just murder it. Dodgeball comes to mind when I think of hipsters. They take a super cool childhood pass time and twist it into something they consider "cool". With Ferris, it's mostly just the re-made t-shirts and the witty references that these idiots make who probably didn't even watch the movie until one of their friends started commenting on it himself. You're right, we've been quietly watching this movie and enjoying it for years. And, yes, it had reached icon status before the hipsters got a hold of it. Nevertheless, the renewed rise of Ferris is in large part due to these hipsters. I'll, of course, keep watching and enjoying it. I just won't reference it in conversation anymore thanks to it's recent re-exposure. <br /><br />But, hey, I do agree with you. I just wanted to make a rant about those damn hipsters (who should really get off my lawn now!) :-)Keith Wilcoxhttp://www.almightydad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350642370729096785.post-11376411964621699192010-07-13T16:28:58.003-04:002010-07-13T16:28:58.003-04:00I'm not sure hipsters could really overexpose ...I'm not sure hipsters could really overexpose Ferris - like every other film on the Top 6, it had already reached icon status (and seen hundreds of times) among the Xers like myself well before hipsters, now sipping their PBRs, had been weaned off bottles.mr. big dubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060394889283394823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350642370729096785.post-23264779198198943662010-07-13T15:49:56.346-04:002010-07-13T15:49:56.346-04:00I'd flip one and two.
