80s teen flick that described romantic relationships to you
As a kid, what 80s teen movie did you think high school romantic relationships would be most like?
For me, it is a toss up between three movies: For Keeps ( happy endings), Dirty Dancing ( fleeting love), and The Breakfast Club ( flirtations)

Oh this is a good one! I'm definately a hopeless romantic underdog at heart, and *loved* the way 80's films portrayed highschool relationships, with their clearly defined archetypical characters and somewhat formulaic endings.
For me, I think I was most shaped by:
The Breakfast Club
Valley Girl
Say Anything
Sixteen Candles (1984)
They all had similar themes, of people winding up with someone that they typically shouldn't be interested in... this gave me a lot of hope as an awkward pubescent teenager.
