It's a virtual tie for me with Breakfast club and Ferris Bueller, I'm leaning more towards Ferris.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
Chevy Chase owned. I gotta go with Vacation.

Tough battle between Planes, Trains & Automobiles and Ferris Bueller´s Day Off.
This time i´m gonna pick Ferris.

The Breakfast Club

Way to not answer your own question Valley!!
I want your choice???
Mine....Pretty in Pink.......it was tough though.

"Muffy, relax, would you? We have seventy dollars and a pair of girls underpants. We're safe as kittens."
Well it is by no means an easy choice for me, but if I had to pick only one John Hughes 80's movie it would be "Sixteen Candles".
It was a quote fiesta in my opinion.
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
To prove just how great all these movies are and how tough this thread is, 9 out of the 14 movies listed got at least 1 vote already.
Posted by CrashesParties n TheValley (Member # 2903) on :
Mmmm...For me it would have to be Weird Science"Ok Forget It I'll Drive GIMME THE KEYS...GIMME THE KEYS"
And Besides WYATT's House was/still is..is a Nice Pad! I like The Gray & Maroon tiles in the bathroom Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :

Trains, Planes, and Automobiles just for the scene where Steve Martin says the f-word at least 30 times at the receptionist after being ditched by the car company. Priceless.
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
I'd pick Mr. Mom. I love that movie, it was the first John Hughes movie I ever saw too, and I just love everything about it. It is really nostalgic to me. My brother and I use to watch it on HBO all the time. I never get sick of it.

Those two are pretty much tied for me too but I'm leaning more towards TBC
Posted by jdocster (Member # 5752) on :
OK. I've got it!!! Each of us pick one and we can share all of them!!!
So I have foiled your evil plan Valley! But I feel compelled to mention to you, Jake, er, ah, I mean Valley, that if all you want of the girl, ah I mean the rewind crew, is a piece of @ss, or some silly movie list I mean, I'll either do it myself, or get someone bigger than me to kick your @ss. I mean, not many girls or rewinders in contemporary American society today would give their underwear to help a geek like me or you. Posted by Paul Dangerously, you iceholes.... (Member # 1022) on :

Games, jdoc. Silly torturous games!
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Somehow, I just knew Paul was going to pick "Some Kind of Wonderful".
Oh and Jessie never voted, but it will be "Sixteen Candles" according to Doc Brown's latest invention.

Copycat
Actually, it was a tough choice between that and Weird Science. Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :
From the teen movies, 'Pretty in Pink'. From the rest, 'Vacation'. Is that cheating? I find it hard to compare the two groups of movies.
Posted by cherrymiss (Member # 7445) on :
Christmas Vacation!!
Posted by J2ME (Member # 5728) on :
Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. Just one? The girlie part of me wants to pick 16 Candles. But my funny bone wants to pick Vacation.
I think I am going to have to go with my funny bone this time and pick Vacation.

It seems a shame that he doesn't write and direct as much movies as he used to anymore. Posted by saturnchick (Member # 7524) on :
Hmmm...this was a no-brainer for me:
The Breakfast Club
Posted by Mr. Jack Burton (Member # 4673) on :
Horrible horrible question, but if I had to it would be Uncle Buck..
Posted by Mane1980 (Member # 4240) on :
The Breakfast Club
Posted by Amanda88 (Member # 7595) on :
It's a tie between Planes, Trains, & Automobiles and the Vacation films. I'll go with European Vacation as my favorite.
Posted by bornin1974 (Member # 7597) on :
Definitely Sixteen Candles!

So many great movies and only one choice... With that being said, I'm saying Some Kind of Wonderful...
"The Human Tater-Tot"... )
Posted by Lovers with Cassie (Member # 7794) on :
My choice would be Pretty in Pink. It is the best of all of them.
Posted by Bamersy (Member # 8808) on :
Valley, you're not gonna believe this, but I had this very bizarre dream, and you were in it. Posted by gotta go back (Member # 9818) on :
Easy choice that includes scenery and wildlife fun , its the 2nd favorite that would be a difficult choice.

One of my favorite lines from "Vacation"... Brian Doyle-Murray has really had some nice scene-stealing parts. He was hilarious in Chris Elliott's short-lived, but brilliant, TV series "Get a Life," as a cop who loses his job for urinating on his boss.
