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)

Re:80s teen flick that described romantic relationships to you



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.
