SIXTEEN CANDLES (1984) Film Cast Then And Now | 38 YEARS LATER!!!

[@fouseklh]

Sixteen Candles is one of my all time favorite movies. I’m 55 now and I know that movie line by line. It’s a classic!

[@jenborn5358]

Me too! 😂

[@knbsd3876]

“It’s him”!!

[@waynethetrainer8888]

Nice, just for fun, What's the next line, "Make a wish."

[@raybon7939]

I'm 52 and I can finally accept the 80s are never coming back, I always did just I would be bitter resentful and angry the 80s are over, and sort of something which was mine got swiped..lloll.. But for the first time ever something clicked this year, And I'm good with it, have my moments , but I know finally view it as the past..took 35 years..but Better late then never.

[@bqkmg2037]

Exactly 39 not 38....movie came out in 1984 and will 40 years old in 2024....thats a very long time ago.

[@climeaware4814]

I MISS THE 80s :(

[@EdsterIII]

My childhood was spent growing up in the 70's. My teenage years were the 80's. I turned 13 in 1980. The decade that followed was the best times I ever saw. Drive-in theaters, arcades, great memories, cruising with friends. It was just excitement and adventure! The best music, the best movies, great friends, everything was just better! We peaked in the 80's.

[@leesashriber5097]

@@EdsterIII , you said it ❣️ We must be about the same age. I turn 55 in June. Greatest times of my life 😊

[@Glostahdude]

YOU CANT MAKE ME!!! Pick just 1 favorite John Hughes film….. HE IS THE VOICE OF MY GENERATION. He told our story!

[@texasred2702]

Richard Linklater is the real voice of our generation. Hughes is the voice we wished we had when we were teenaged dorks. We all talked like Forrest and Bender in our fantasies.

[@richieboy6825]

The other short lived series Freaks & Geeks, I feel captured the essence of life back then. Check it out if you haven’t !

[@SteelToes]

My god.... how time flies. I turned 18 in '84 and it almost seems like yesterday. I would love to live the exact same life I've lived again... even though I would like to change a few things... I'm happy enough. Born in '66... growing up in the 70's, 80's and 90's (young adult 😆) were the best of times.

[@JackCommino1966]

Same😎

[@100hooker]

Agreed born In 64. I think I got in and will get out at the right time. The only thing I would change would be access to KZbin in the 80s so I could pull up any song at anytime.

[@sambistabeauty]

How awesome to be born and live through those decades!! Life was a Sweet life before cell phones and porn

[@EyvonneG]

I wouldn't change nothing...The food was better 2...

[@denisek292]

Eighties teens had MTV, and John Hughes movies. What a great time to be a kid!!! “Sixteen Candles” and “The Breakfast Club” are his crowning achievements imho.

[@Lolli4Liberty]

I agree!!! 😊👍🏼

[@wtdenton4090]

Yes it was a great time to grow up. Probably one of the last great times. It would suck to be a kid today.

[@heatherframpton9693]

Yes, I agree! 😊❤️

[@roman466]

More freedom and no social media

[@kevstreet]

@@wtdenton4090 Safe to assume every generation says this about the last? My youngest son played baseball on turf fields, under the lights in Cooperstown, NY. An experience I could only dream of as a kid of the 80s. We didn’t have the internet bullies back then, that the kids have now, but more than a few times I had the anxiety of having to fight a punk after school. There were fights all the time at my school. That’s not the case anymore. Teachers and principals could physically discipline students in the 80s with little recourse. I wish I had video footage of when I was younger like all the kids now have. I feared being drafted. Etc. That said, I do have some wonderful memories of the 1980s, and I could easily argue your point as well. It’s just the way you look at it.

[@MustardSeedish]

Billie Bird's son married in to our family in the late 80's. She was actually shy and quiet but if you asked her about her work she loved to talk about it. Sixteen Candles was her least favorite gig although I thought she was the best in it. Her comedic timing was spot on. Sixteen Candles, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off are my favorite John Hughes films.

[@climeaware4814]

Mustard very cool! My Late Great Uncle Yakima Canutt was a VERY famous Stuntman, Actor "limited" and Second Unit Director and has 200 movies to his Credit.

[@nadinewilliams6465]

Did she mention her favorite? That would be cool. You don't have to post which.

[@nadinewilliams6465]

Very cool climeaware what a difficult job!

[@darkangel_1978]

I loved her in Police Academy 4. Pairing her with David Graf's Tackleberry was so much fun.

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

Least favorite in terms of the material and finished product? Or least favorite in terms of the actual experience of shooting the movie? Did she not like the other cast members? I’m just curious if she ever clarified.

[@darkangel_1978]

I was a teen in the 90's, but John Hughes's movies still spoke to me. He really understood teenagers, which I loved. His movies are still so much fun to watch, even though I am in my mid 40s.

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

Me, too. I saw Sixteen Candles as a kid.

[@kmeccat]

God, I hate getting old... Breakfast Club was my favorite--it never gets old.

[@naudianeels1328]

Me too. This makes me feel ancient 🥺😢☹️

[@esterdrass4964]

Oh, that's another movie great from my teens. I went with two friends and that scene where Judd Nelson crosses the road to go into detention and causes a car to slam on his brakes...one of my friends yelled...THAT'S ME! in the theater. She really was the female John Bender of that time. I read somewhere that Bender should be free from his detention right about now lol

[@RPMcMurphy1975]

Better than the alternative.

[@robertramirez1082]

The magic of John Hughes was lightning in a bottle we will never see again. We are so lucky it is frozen in time for all generations to enjoy. RIP John, and to all those wonderful actors who are no longer with us. Thank you all !

[@deefrash9806]

Some Kind of Wonderful is my favorite and the most overlooked of his films. It's fun, romantic and has a killer soundtrack to go with it. One of my top five all time favorite movies too.

[@DavidSmith-ki2we]

Oh yes!!! I loooove that movie.... main actor was so hot and swoonworthy. It's one of my top 80s movie.

[@heidistutzman3278]

There it is!! That movie is amazing with a killer soundtrack too!!

[@binkyfaith]

I watch Sone kind of wonderful every now and then.

[@doubled3082]

It sure was a great movie. It was a great ending and the music was perfect!!

[@positivelysimful1283]

[@ChersJourney]

I don’t feel any older than I did when this movie was out Life was more special in the 80s. People used to talk to each other

[@MistyLaneLoveConquersALL]

I loved John Hughes films growing up.... Still do! Long live The Brat Pack 🕶80's Forever ❤

[@seanspring8991]

"Weird Science" has always been my favorite 80's movie. Especially Bill Paxton as "Chet".

[@TheBOG3]

I love all of John Hughes' movies. People seem to overlook 'Dutch' because it's not his typical teen movie that he does. Just the adventures of a 12 year old and his soon to be, middle aged stepfather.

[@Lolli4Liberty]

Most definitely can’t forget Dutch. There’s so many that I love. John Hughes is a legend.

[@sarahsimpkins1311]

I liked Dutch it was funny with El bundy

Love that movie, didn’t realize it was a John Hughes

[@JackCommino1966]

RIP Carole Cook. ( Grandma Helen )💜 I was fortunate to get to know Carole and her husband Tom Troupe when I moved to Hollywood 23 years ago. She was as hilarious in real life as she was as Grandma Helen in my favorite 80’s flick.

[@valerief1231]

So many lines are party of my vocabulary, and there doesn’t have to be an obvious tie to what’s happening right now, like “chicks can’t hold the smoke, that’s what it is…” or something to that effect lol. What’s your most quoted line from the movie?

@@valerief1231 PB&J with the crust cut off. Did your mom marry Mr Rogers? Dork: No, Mr Johnson. 🤣 Also to Mr Burner: Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his closet? There’s just so many of them that I know, but I don’t want to write a book. 😊

Can you describe the ruckus? Is mine.

[@keymaster430]

Way too many, but most likely it would be something from Bender. Even something simple like: Andrew: "If I lose my temper, you're totaled, man." Bender: "Totally?" Or: Bender: "You know what I got for Christmas this year? It was banner f__kin' year at the old Bender family! I got a carton of cigarettes..."

[@climeaware4814]

I was a teen in the early to mid 1980s you would have loved it! no gun shootings, limited drug problems, Climate Change was not a issue, Low LOW cost of living, Affordable college cost. No cell phones, no ipods, Primitive home computers. The rotary dial phone was the only way to call out from the house. cross country long distance was very expensive. Rubix cube was the thing. Big TVs with 4-5 cancels and a Antenna that gave crappy reception half the time. The Food industry was FAR more regulated and all the teens and adults were still within there BMI. Cars has very very primitive emissions computers. I went to school with the Drummer of Perl Jam. The school was a student body of 99% white and .5 percent Asian and .5 percent black and there was no racism in our school.

[@paulaflatt2936]

Ed O'Neill said in an interview that when 'Dutch' didn't do so well at the box office, John Hughes totally blew him off and wouldn't speak to him. He couldn't understand why. It wasn't his fault that the film wasn't like Hughes' other films. John made great films but doesn't sound like he was a great person, unless you're a teen or portraying a teen in one of his films. Sad.
