Film 30 - Some Kind of Wonderful
Directed by Howard Deutch
Year - 1987
In true John Hughes style, this film is about teenagers falling in love, coming of age and rebelling against stereotypes. Eric Stoltz plays Keith, an high school student who wants to go to art college who is infactuated with one of the most popular girls in school, Amanda Jones (Lea Thompson). Then one day, much to the surprise of his family, the school and best friend tom boy Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson), he gets a date with his dream girl.
Hughes' script is delightfully witty and is everything you could ask for. With help from the popular but spoilt Hardy Jenns, school bully Duncan and Keith's younger sister Cindy, this film boasts some really fantastic characters. A touching if not schmultzy love story that is uplifted with a memorable soundtrack and great one-liners.
