Planes, Trains and Automobiles

But The Breakfast Club and Weird Science are both up there.

Breakfast Club

Back in the day I was sort of a cross between Jeff Spicolli from Fast Times (another favorite movie of mine) and the Judd Nelson character, so I identify a lot with it. I was always causing trouble, and well, I used to partake a bit 

Always one to push the envelope of consciousness and buck the establishment. Still am.

Hmm I've got fond memories of Uncle Buck, I remember the first time I watched it I laughed so much.

Ferris Bueler's Day Off is my fav.  Breakfast Club tends to put me to sleep.  I think Sixteen Candles is better.

Pynda

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles was probably his best, but I'm awfully fond of Sixteen Candles as far as teen comedies go.

Curly Sue? Truly a horrible movie.

Josher

 Everything up through Planes, Trains and Autos is tops.  They're all equally classic.  I couldn't appreciate Planes when I first saw way back when, but now I can.

Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller ftw.  Two of the best movies ever made.

Ferris Buller is for sure my favorite with Uncle Buck being a close second.
