Damn fine moviemaker.

'Breakfast Club' was the backdrop to high school but 'Sixteen Candles' was always my favorite.

The Geek: This, uh, this your car, Jake?
Jake: No, this is my dad's car. You said you couldn't drive a stick.
The Geek: This is a motherfu - ! This is a Rolls Royce, Jake.
Jake: So?
The Geek: SO? So? I hear the grill ALONE costs five grand on this. Five grand! You have five grand? I don't have five grand!
Jake: Then don't hit anything.
The Geek: [incredulous] Ha ha! Don't hit anything.

The Geek: Where the hell am I?
Caroline: I'll, uh, tell you where you are if you tell me who you are.
The Geek: I'm Farmer Ted.
Caroline: You're in the parking lot in front of my church.
The Geek: You own a church?

Good director, sad day for movie lovers.

Some great lines.

Uncle Buck: "You should've seen the toast, I couldn't even get it through the door"

TBC: "Wait, why does Andrew get to get up? I'll get up, we'll all get up, it'll be ANARCHY!"

Christmas Vacation: "Don't piss me off, Art." "We're gonna have the hap hap happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny fucking Kaye."

More Sixteen Candles

Jake: Open this door!
Long Duk Dong: No way, Jose!
Jake: Open the door!
Long Duk Dong: You punch my face!
Jake: You grabbed my nuts!
LDD: Dat you?!?
Jake: Yeah, dat me.


Now a piece of my high school years is gone. He'll be missed
