It’s a movie that just still resonates with me, even to this day, so revisiting it every once in awhile is like visiting an old friend.

One of my favorite movies to be sure. I was an odd teen though. When I watch this movie I can’t relate with any one character completely; rather, I tend to relate a little with all of them though perhaps least with the jock.

Being a student pastor I get to spend a lot of time with high school students and I also spend a lot of time actually being _inside_ the schools durning lunches, sporting events, assemblies, etc. I can affirm that this kind of social ladder still exists today just as strongly as it did in ’85. Only, today the “geek” is now the “emo” kid. That’s the biggest difference.

also one of my favorites. but I haven’t watched it for years because it’s difficult to get it in dvd stores here in Europe. I can still remember Brian, Claire, John and Alison AND of course my teenage hero Andy what a boy. I’d be curious to know how he looks like today And I’ll never forget the song “Don’t you” — thanks for that mind trip to the past.…

Anton: I never thought of it that way but yeah, I totally understand where you're coming from. We must be on the middle rung me thinks. Trench: Oddly enough I don't yet own a copy of my own on any format. I've only seen it on TV or on Netflix.

My wifes favorite movie ever. Think I’ve bought her two VHS copies and DVD. I must admit, it is a film you can watch over and over.

I think that, comparing with the latest teen films, this is surprinsingly naive which makes me to conclude that in the last 20 years some of the behaving patterns has changed dramatically. I’m not sure if this is good… The ‘80s had their charm, which is present in this movie from 1985.

I love this movie — I could relate to Bender (Judd) in so many ways, it was almost scary.

And if you look close enough, you can see how some of this kind of social diversity happens in the blogging community.
