Favorite John Hughes Movie Quotes & Trivia...

In honor of the recently late great John Hughes, I thought it might be fun to share some of our favorite quotes and/or moments from each of his most popular films. I'll put up a different movie every day, in no particular order.

Today we'll start with: Sixteen Candles

Note: There are no rules, just have fun...if this movie reminds you of any special past memories in your life, please feel free to share those as well.

Trivia Question: What now famous brother/sister duo appear in this film?

It's not a quote, but remember the scene where her grandparents felt her up? (B/C she was growing "boobies?") I laughed so hard when I saw that! I've had the same thing happen when I was 12. They meant well... they were excited for me, but still!!! Grandparents can be so wierd!

I laughed soooo hard during that part...probably because I could relate so well to Molly Ringwald...I didn't develop until late and even then it wasn't much, LOL

John Bender : "Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?"

and also

Richard Vernon: What if your home... what if your family... what if your *dope* was on fire?
John Bender: Impossible, sir. It's in Johnson's underwear.

great quotes Bryan, but wrong movie :)...Your thinking of "The Breakfast Club"...that's okay though, still funny. LOL

Bryan B. Aug 11, 2009, 2:43pm EDT

sorry I was just thinking John Hughes movies. While I love Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club is my favorite.

Mike Baker: What the hell are you bitchin' about? I gotta sleep under some Chinaman named after a duck's dork.

and also

"Well what did he want?"
"Sex!"

Such an iconic movie!

I was going to say John and Joan Cusack, but Kimberly G. beat me to it!

Definitely remembered John and Joan and probably my favorite quote was the one above about the Chinaman's dork. Another one would be from another movie I loved - Pretty in Pink and Annie Potts is on the phone in the record store Molly Ringwald works at:

Tyrone you blow

I don't care

Take a bus, take a cab, just get your ass off my couch

Every time you go to the john you loose IQ points ( my favorite of all )
