My all time faves are Some Kind of Wonderful, Pretty in Pink, Can't Buy Me Love (like everyone else), and even A Walk To Remember (though that doesn't have the happiest ending).Susan Hatlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13593705266676864470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-81123014468925382432007-04-15T09:24:00.000-07:002007-04-15T09:24:00.000-07:00I can't believe Simone hasn't seen CAN'T BUY ME LO...I can't believe Simone hasn't seen CAN'T BUY ME LOVE!!! What a classic movie...Patrick Dempsey...swoon. I was thinking of CAN'T HARDLY WAIT as well, Tera. It's great in movies like that because the guy who might not be so studly become studly at the end when they get the girl.Marley Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645678180669587782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-75325431084462714082007-04-15T09:21:00.000-07:002007-04-15T09:21:00.000-07:00PS-just read Simone's comment.

I actually netflixed it last week for old times sake and still loved it. <BR/>The other movie is Secret Admirer, not as good, but still fits the mold.alexgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326851585171149165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-46130175579972002632007-04-15T09:20:00.000-07:002007-04-15T09:20:00.000-07:00I WANT MY TWO DOLLAAAAARS!!I luh-uv Better of Dead...I WANT MY TWO DOLLAAAAARS!!<BR/>I luh-uv Better of Dead. I was just talking with some friends about his crazy best friend's "habit". So funny.<BR/>Yeah, I gotta love the good guy. So maybe "nice guys finish last", but hey, they still finish, and get the girl usually! <BR/>I watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High last night and even though Jennifer Jason-Leigh goes for Vic Damone at first, she ends up with the "nice guy" that works at the movie theater.alexgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326851585171149165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-85803571472297333522007-04-14T15:59:00.000-07:002007-04-14T15:59:00.000-07:00I remember "Can't Buy me Love" and that other movi...I remember "Can't Buy me Love" and that other movie with C.

Yes, I am a luzer!<BR/>I love it when the not so alpha character (m or f) gets the hottie.

Like he thinks the being popular is overrated and hangs out below the radar.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, in most teen books/movies, the guys who are unpopular really wish they weren't (thinking of Ethan Embry in Can't Hardly Wait). Those guys don't do much for me.<BR/><BR/>Fun post Heather!<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>TLCMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356017077011774393noreply@blogger.com
