it is one of the most seminal, iconic, teenage angst, John Hughes movies ever and that shot epitomizes and encaptures everything it is about.

I don't disagree with that it is an iconic image. It's just that who does that? If you saw a kid walking across a football field and all of a sudden raise a fist and hold it, most people would think "WTF?" I don't know how else John Hughes would portray everything that you said but realistically I don't think it should be that. I just think it's odd, that's all.

Not sure about these days, but she's always had one of the sexiest mouths I've ever seen.

Yeah. This thread has jumped the shark. "Instantly recognizable" is the definition of iconic.
