SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL (1987) What Happened To The Cast After 36 Years?! (Then And Now 2023)

[@EbenFuller]

One of the best ending lines ever for a movie... "You look good wearing my future..." LOVE IT!

[@kenh7597]

My wife and I have argued about that line for years. I say he said it sincerely and my wife says he was being sarcastic. What is your opinion?

[@damiansaint]

Sincerely

[@emmarubenstein9085]

Love Some Kind of Wonderful...got it on DVD...another great John Hughes movie

[@chuckchristian8816]

So do I love this movie I will never give it away

[@gregthomas2448]

John Hughes films. Forever ⭐️🏆⭐️

[@josephtrebes3169]

Fantastic movie! It's been forgotten a bit over time, but it truly belongs in the conversation among the 80s best.

[@LindaGrace74]

Agree

[@JMGh95]

Agree!

[@deefrash9806]

Love this movie and is one of my top five all time favorites. It's so well done with a great cast of characters and amazing soundtrack to boot!!!!

[@LindaGrace74]

My top movie ever

[@yankeeed15pr]

The majority of all these known actors from the late 70's thru the 80's are my contemporaries, I was born in 64', I'll be 59 in August and I truly lived and loved all those movies of the era and the unforgettable roles portrayed by these wonderful actors!! There's nothing like the '80's, and there never will be ever again, this is why so many movies of that era, especially those depicting " coming of age " themes are and always will be a treasure both in my mind and in my heart! I love this channel as it brings you these reviews of accomplishments and the way those stars of yesteryear look like in actuality! Every time I see one of these videos it's like traveling back to the best times of my life... thank you so much!!! ♥️🇺🇸

[@NostalgiaHit]

Captain Ed, thank you so much for this comment. First off, I'm glad you are enjoying the channel, that means a lot. Secondly, you are absolutely right. I was born in 68, it's such a joy looking back at all the films and actors I loved watching while growing up. It's great revisiting them again, finding interesting facts, plus watching films I missed along the way. It's so easy to get caught in all the nostalgia while making the videos. Thanks again, Captain Ed. Very much appreciated!!!

[@cmbhey8164]

If it was a choice between Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful, SKW wins hands down. Love that movie. It's right up there with The Breakfast Club, the best movies ever came out of the 80's!

[@robertl.slater]

Better than Breakfast Club. Watch them both now. One is cringy.

[@trwent]

If WHAT was a choice?

[@bluemary1872]

This is my favourite 80’s movie and in fact one of my favourite movies of all time ❤

[@tinak.3022]

Absolutely! In fact I watched the movie again last night. I can't even count how many times I've watched this movie over the years.

[@leesashriber5097]

Great video 😊 Another great John Hughes film ❣️

[@NYR11949]

Love the movie...Love the ending.

[@sandralandivar5263]

One of my favorite 80's film!!

[@davidhooper259]

Easily the most underrated teen film. Certainly the most under appreciated Hughes film

[@eatshiy]

Elias Koteas is a super nice guy...he was a regular at a restaurant I worked at! When I recognized him a told him thanks for all the wonderful work he's done!👍

[@kaikpr8709]

Vei, que manero só de saber que viu elas pessoalmente....

[@lindadowns230]

I was so Happy Keith chose Watts❤️

[@maryscarletttanner7580]

Watts wins! (as it should be)

[@daved1535]

Amanda should've hooked up with Duncan

[@wyatt12358]

Was she in FRIED GREEN TOMATOES. Se looked hot as WATTS

[@leestockton9367]

As were we all, Watts was cute

[@wyatt12358]

@@leestockton9367 both girls remind me a lot of 2 former girl friends I had. I miss them very much but we all had to go our separate ways to make a living and they had to relocate.

[@andrewburton9643]

Great film, great cast, excellent soundtrack. In my top 20 films of all time. Eric Stolz was nearly Marty McFly you know!

[@OzKitty]

My favorite John Hughes movie. Mary Stuart Masterson was wonderful in Fried Green Tomatoes. It's another one of my favorites. Eric Stoltz 😍

[@arr204]

Fantastic movie and soundtrack.

[@XYtotheZ]

Some Kind of Wonderful......that is exactly how one can describe the 1980's. There were the very high point of the USA. Good luck to the future folks of this county....you are going to need it.

[@rickg8015]

“I Go Crazy” by Flesh For Lulu was such an earworm back in the day.. The March Violets being the film was great to see too..

[@SahiraSound]

The March Violets were everything to me!

[@arkadandfortuna1582]

John Hughs movies rocked!

[@prettynoose888]

Wow, all the actors from the film had stellar careers.

[@mikehaney6512]

Back in 88 when I saw this movie in theaters, Some of the scenes were shot in wilimington and san pedro ca. One scene was shot at amanda jones house in wilimington. 1 block from my grandmas house. One week later I went by that house and it's the same house shot, talked to the owners, yes they said for 3 nights of shooting. Amazing.

[@badpoetry33]

One of my favorite movies of all time!!! I had the hugest crush on Eric Stolz and even got a checkered lumberjack shirt to wear like the one he wore in the movie. Sometimes I still have flashes to him giving her the earrings at the end, and his saying, “You knew.” And her saying “I didn’t know-but I hoped.” And his saying back, “You knew.” as they walked down the street together. They just don’t write movies like that anymore. And I still listen to songs on the incomparable soundtrack, my favorite being Brilliant Minds by Furniture. A nice trip back down memory lane!

[@briandavid3637]

I love the scene at the club, when she asks Keith do you miss me Keith, powerful scene ❤

[@robandkrissy]

And then the best line of the movie, “You look good wearing my future “ ❤️

[@SahiraSound]

For me it was the March Violets and their song Turn to the Sky that they were playing in the club when Watts was confronting Keith. I've been listening to that song ever since the movie came out and I still listen to it today!

[@snooper71]

@@robandkrissy Nah, best line is "You break his heart, I break your face"

[@Susanb89]

Craig Sheffer was in Fire With Fire, another awesome 80s flick! One of my faves ❤️

[@MollyZelko2.0]

Great flick! Just watched it again

[@SahiraSound]

Oh yeah Fire with Fire was awesome, it had Virginia Madsen, she was so beautiful!

[@luciamixon4156]

Incredible that all the cast were successful and most all alive. 60 here. Top 7 movie favorites. I own the movie. Mary Stuart Masterson cute haircut really made her stand out. 20 years old.😊😊

[@charstev7924]

One of my favorites, this movie was made when I was around the same age as most of them I'm a eighties kind of guy There are so many 80s movies that are so wonderful Top gun ,pretty in pink, breakfast club so many....wonderful movies back then that I still watch❤

[@zacharypage3135]

Mary Stuart Masterson is known for Fried Green Tomatoes as well which she was incredible in.

[@BUlrich-dw7xi]

True

One of my favorite movies... ❤

[@lupooutdoors]

One of my all-time favorite movies! Mary Stuart Masterson is just 1 day older than me :)

[@thomascaddy4529]

I’m not a fan of short hair on women, but Mary Stuart Masterson could really rock it in this movie. It was a good look on her.

[@SeaDrive300]

Hard to believe they left out "Fried Green Tomatoes" on MSM's list of notable credits...

[@lnyrny3]

I had a huge crush on Eric stoltz and watched this movie so many times back in the 80s and mask is another favourite.

[@thomascaddy4529]

It’s my favorite teen movie and Of all John Hughes films.

[@rebruc3806]

I love this movie and the ending was perfect. Thx&see ya😁

[@bonniechops1]

I remember watching this film on VHS when it came out in '87, I bought it on KZbin recently, great soundtrack and a great film

[@itf2586]

Some Kind of Wonderful's finale is perfect, even over its predecessor Pretty in Pink. From the honest & touching conversation between Keith & Amanda concluding their date night, to Amanda's stand against Hardy & that epic double smack, to best friends Watts & Keith sharing their true feelings for each other, all combine to tie up the storylines.

[@robandkrissy]

Best John Hughes movie ending ever! When I watched it live in the theater it blew me away, and then, that cover of Can’t Help Falling in Love put me over the edge!

[@mac888spectral7]

I know the corn ball ending was the whole point of this movie, but we all know in real life he doesn't choose the tomboy best friend over the dream girl. Hell the tomboy wasn't even a NICE girl. What was the appeal 😅

[@itf2586]

@@mac888spectral7 No, no, you're confusing "we all know in real life he doesn't choose..." with "in my limited, obscured view of real life he doesn't choose...". Don't speak for everyone else, cause you can't. And besides, Keith ending up with Amanda wasn't even an option because Amanda chooses to stand on her own at the end. I suggest you rewatch the the film and thusly reevaluate your interpretation. 🤓😂

[@De3e3]

​@@itf2586 perfectly said 👍👏👍👏👍👏 Could have said it any better. I absolutely love this movie's ending.

All I needed to see Mary Stuart Masterson, Tom Boyish, but feminine and hot as far as I'm concerned, and she's still attractive today. All the best to her, this is one my favorite 80's films.

[@louhillen8254]

Love this film yet I had no idea Chynna Phillips of Wilson Phillips was in it!

[@chienpo672]

Some Kind of Wonderful wouldn’t have been the phenomenal movie it was without Eric Stoltz and Mary Stuart Masterson! Pretty In Pink was great, but Some Kind of Wonderful was perfection! If true, it’s best that Ringwald and McCarthy weren’t on board. I never thought McCarthy worked in Pretty In Pink, and neither would have worked in Some Kind of Wonderful. So glad Stoltz and Masterson got the roles. They were perfect. And made it the best 80s teen romance of all time!

[@rhodagaspar]

I was surprised upon knowing that Chyna Phillips was also one of the cast.

I liked this movie alot my favs are 3 o'clock high, fast times, breakfast club,can't buy me love, heavenly kid these are the best

One of my 80s fave's. John Hughes movies are essential. Hardy was such a cocky cock. Watts was low key adorable. And when Duncan and his crew crash the party. That was the best. When I first seen the movie I was a kid. And I'm pretty sure I jumped for joy, saying something or shouting "Yes!!!"

[@barbararobinson1208]

Please do Drop Dead Fred! My mom took me & my sister to the movies to see it, then I played it for my daughter & now she's played it for her children. It's so hard to find now. I fear many won't see it & miss out on the magic that was Fred.

I graduated high school in 1986 and being a redhead myself was never really interested in redheaded guys. But I always loved Eric Stoltz especially in Mask. I recently rewatched Some Kind of Wonderful, and man, Eric Stoltz was a hunk lol :)
