"Say Anything" really wasn't a "teen comedy", more of a dramatic picture with some comedic elements.

And Betsy Russell in "Private School" really gave Phoebe Cates a run for her money when it came to spank-bank deposits.

Fine then!

I choose "Fast Times" then.

I think you'll be in for a treat. Saw this one a million times as a kid. Great cast, memorable characters, and countless one-liners.

Since Say Anything... has more laughs for me than about half of the movies listed in this thread, I'm counting it. But if it still doesn't count for some strange technicality because it transcended genre by becoming one of the best movies about young love ever made, then Ferris Bueller's Day Off it is.

Wow, I did not expect this, but I do have a speech prepared: This thread is dedicated to EddieMoney. If he had not posted about the movie, none of this would be possible. And lastly, let's remember that climate change is real..."Wrap it up?" Well, thank you and good night!

You have a movie in your Blu-ray player but don't know if you've ever seen it?

Odd.

I stand corrected, yes. She was not quite in Cates's league, but nubile as well.

Summer School is a classic. Everybody loves Chainsaw.

I'm going to watch Up The Creek tonight. Sounds right up my alley and I've never even heard of it.

Phoebe Cates is one of my top 5 most desirable women of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Betsy in her prime? Top 6. What a piece.
