SIXTEEN CANDLES

Molly Ringwald is my spirit animal, seriously, her hair is amazing. Molly Ringwald's high school seemed really real like a Missy Elliot video, and her problems insurmountable. Yet somehow in Molly Ringwald and John Hugh's version of high school, everything works out perfectly. In Pretty in Pink, the girl from the wrong side of the tracks get the guy with a trust fund. In Breakfast Club, the bratty virgin ends up with the super hot rebel. In Sixteen Candles, the second year who has yet to be seen, is pined over by the rich jock. In my trailer I aimed to get scenes I believe to be essential to the 80’s film. A pan up of the female lead, while the male lead decides whether or not he is into it. The quick one liners that sum up Molly Ringwald's hopelessness. As well as the attached best friend who cannot bear to proclaim his love to her, only in secret. The random dancing scene or what I like to think is the pinnacle of a John Hughes film. The scene that is probably the most unrecognizable is the sex scene quiz from Sixteen Candles but I wanted to use it because it is interesting. Then comes the blowout, the female lead realizes the male lead is a jerk. Either way it works, because the male lead raises his hand in triumph, he has got the girl.
