Sixteen candles

[Monty]

A classic 1980s John Hughes flick that chronicles the story of Samantha, a sixteen year old whose family has forgotten her birthday. [Jake Ryan], the perfect guy in school, saves the day- saving Samantha from her sisters awful wedding, and buying her a birthday cake. This movie is famous for its archetype characters- The geek- Called either Farmer Ted, or the Geek, and played by Anthony [Michael Hall], the perfect man- Jake Ryan, played by actor/model Michael Schoeffling, and the awkward high school girl, played by [Molly Ringwald]. The character of Jake Ryan has grown extrememly popular over the years as an example of a perfect man- smart, rich, courteous, sweet, considerate- and one who breaks up with the curvy, beautiful head cheerleader for the gawky, awkward younger girl.
