My mother growing up was told that Ally Sheedy (not nowaday Ally) was her look-a-like and that her personality was at times similar to Allison. To this day I think the younger Ally Sheedy is the best resemblance of her appearance.
Gilbert Alexander no I met her at the gym lol. she looked cute though. I said "you look like ally sheedy from the breakfast club" and she said "which one is that? the shy, quiet one?" and I said "yeah" lol I never saw her again
I just saw this movie for the first time last week and thought everyone was great in this movie, especially Ally. I loved how weird she was and the different facial expressions she had throughout. I really like the part when she takes the knife off of the chair. She's a pretty good dancer too.
I love this movie, and watch it over and over. I will never forget 1 line from this movie that Ally Sheedy said about when we get old - "your heart dies." That line has stuck with me for over 20 years, and I try to live my life, so I can disprove that line - because I know it's so true, that when people get older, their sense of compassion, and passion for life dries up. Thanks for posting this, javiconan
Everybody says Ally was a sell-out in the end, but I disagree. I think she just let Claire do something nice for her. I always felt like she was strong enough in her individuality to allow for some fun.
I was a male Allison in school in the 80's. I did the thread around the finger (and still do) and even the shaking hair to watch the flakes fall down and I always wore my coat mostly with the hood on- even indoors- I was sickened when the changed her at the end. "Allison's" of the world should NEVER sell out.
Pretty much me in High School. I was introverted and alone, drawing or sketching in class. I was dark and sarcastic. I had the same sense of humor. I compulsively lied about things because it was funny seeing people's reactions. I ate weird things like that at lunch. I was thin and had dark hair and dressed just like her, with a big coat. How she went to detention because she was bored... Sounds like something I would do. That's why this character fascinates me!!
The look on 4:00 with her eyes is the most seductive Ive ever seen. Anyone noticed how looking back at this mid 80s film, the trendies look out of date, whereas the alternative one who doesnt follow fashion, still looks great?
It explained in the movie that she wasn't an actual basketcase. Her parents never paid attention to her. She was lonely. She was cut off from society and barely had any social skills and had no idea or concept of what "social norms" meant. Anyways, I agree. She looked so much better before the makeover. The makeover destroyed her intriguing character and made her another societal drone.
Great video compilation of a great performance! Thanks javiconan. I don't know if she received awards for it, but Ally Sheedy's performance completely captures the camera, holds it hostage for every scene she's in - to the point that it's heartbreakingly uncomfortable - exquisite torture - to witness & feel the delicate fabric of her irrepressible honesty. But the camera, & the heart, can't turn away exactly because she can't hide what shines indestructible from within - beautiful flakes & all.
Ally Sheedy was a very beautiful woman , beautiful for sure , I'm only 22, by coincidence was the old ally at the time of the film, when she was very beautiful !, I wanted to have known her personally at the time of the film, ally sheed in the film , both as strange and when molly helped her on makeup and changing her clothes at the end of the film was beautiful , I fell in love with young Ally Sheedy
I love her...she is the most beautiful woman...why was i born like 6 yrs after this was made?!!!!AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHH!!!! glad to see you left the make-over ally out.
@L7freak If the audio was a song, than the owners of the copyright to the song would have alerted TH-cam, and the audio was removed. If the audio was the movie's track, then it is indeed pointless.
I have always wondered, whats that song thats in the background. When Alley comes out of the room, after Claire has put on make up ? Its a beautyful song or piece :) Whats it called ?
I now realize this has been my personality the entire time.people forcing me to be a Claire and I've been an Allison this whole time..yet,I also share personality characteristics with John as well. #genderfluidprobs
Yeah she was FANTASTIC until the make over. And to think this movie is supposed to be about accepting differences. I like Shrek and Shallow Hal for not doing the whole "I fixed you so I can be with you" thing. In Shallow Hal its more like "I fixed me so I can appreciate you."
The thing that really weirded me out about her is that she'd give incorrect reactions to people's words... Like if I were to say hi, she'd probably look at me like I killed her parents or something. Anyways Ally Sheedy is an amazing actor. Very gifted.
I have 5 kids , and no way in hell. Im gonna treat them bad, like 00.10 and pushin them to do something bad. So they get into detention and so on, i respect my childrens privacy. I always knock before entering their rooms, and when they say its ok . I soundproofed the basement livingroom, so they can play on my drums and other kind of music equipment. I do anything for my children, the girls borrows my spikes,GOTH and other kind of make up and other kind of clothes that is around in the house.
No images of after she gets all pretty.... And Andy is 100% sure he like loves her??!! Still a cute video- I love her- she's hilarious and although not as extreme- my sisters and I are most like her- quiet and we don't have to get high to have fun! :D
I understand everything. She had such a unique character, and at the end she turned into `like all the others` `cute and nice` `dress and shoes` `evening princess` `popular wannabe`... It would be much nicer if they would just kiss, and sport would tell her he will see her on monday or something. Imagine, a character you really liked would turn into something that is opposite to him. Like if you like Sherlock Holmes, imagine if he would turn into george bush at the end. Sucks.
Allison was my first real female movie crush and I still love her to this day
She was more attractive then Claire
She certainly was. Because she wasn't trying to look beautiful. She's just beautiful the way she is. In other words she's naturally beautiful.
I once met a girl who looked a LOT like ally sheedy. I swear to god. I even told her that. she was really flattered
Too bad that was just one time. There has got to be a girl who resembles Ally Sheedy
My mother growing up was told that Ally Sheedy (not nowaday Ally) was her look-a-like and that her personality was at times similar to Allison. To this day I think the younger Ally Sheedy is the best resemblance of her appearance.
Gilbert Alexander no I met her at the gym lol. she looked cute though. I said "you look like ally sheedy from the breakfast club" and she said "which one is that? the shy, quiet one?" and I said "yeah" lol I never saw her again
***** It's like finding a unicorn.
Ally's ace. Was always my favourite so-called Brat Packer.
Allison was always far and away the best character.. A boy years ago in my office in the 90s said I reminded him of her... Take that as a compliment!
I just saw this movie for the first time last week and thought everyone was great in this movie, especially Ally. I loved how weird she was and the different facial expressions she had throughout. I really like the part when she takes the knife off of the chair. She's a pretty good dancer too.
She is doin' her own thing. Gotta love that.
I like when he says "So what's wrong. Is it your parents" And she looks like oh my god....he gets it. and the way she said "Yeah." Gives me chills.
Early childhood crush for me. Ha, still so nearly 30 years later...
i use to have a massive crush on her the first time i watched the movie, she is so adorable you just want to hug that little thing
God, I always had the biggest crush on her. I don't know why, but I've always been more into the odd ones.
She has always been mine. Watched War Games night before last.
+Chris Cano Same
+Chris Cano Hey man, i feel the same, i falled in love with her , since the first time i watched the movie, she's mine in this movie time hahahaa
I've always felt she was more prettier than Claire...
agree
In War Games, she looks just like Claire
@@RareCandeh No she doesn't.
honestly she's one of the main reasons why I loved this movie.
I love this movie, and watch it over and over. I will never forget 1 line from this movie that Ally Sheedy said about when we get old - "your heart dies." That line has stuck with me for over 20 years, and I try to live my life, so I can disprove that line - because I know it's so true, that when people get older, their sense of compassion, and passion for life dries up.

An Allison Reynolds tribute video? Outta control! She's been long overdue for this. Awesome work Javiconan! A++

I love the little squeak she does when she's scared
Allison was adorable!! I think we all can be a basket cases sometimes :D
i dont know which is worse, that she is not real or that im not a fictional character in shermer high school.
-jacquio
Aunque los años pasen...
Cada tanto me acuerdo de esta película, de Allison, y de este tremendo video.
I’m having a little Allison marathon, hoping with each video I’ll magically see a scene of her I haven’t seen yet lol
4:09 that smirk is so epic. She still to this day makes this smirk *faint*
I don't think she was smirking I think she was glaring at the janitor Carl.
Pretty much me in High School. I was introverted and alone, drawing or sketching in class. I was dark and sarcastic. I had the same sense of humor. I compulsively lied about things because it was funny seeing people's reactions. I ate weird things like that at lunch. I was thin and had dark hair and dressed just like her, with a big coat.

judging by your profile pic...youre about as pretty
She also looks great in Wargames together with Matthew Broderick
what a badass she is
she was already beautiful i prefer her as in the beggining
The look on 4:00 with her eyes is the most seductive Ive ever seen. Anyone noticed how looking back at this mid 80s film, the trendies look out of date, whereas the alternative one who doesnt follow fashion, still looks great?

ally sheedy's nephew goes to tennis camp with me.
Cool
this is the meaning for you tube.. media mixed* and this * wow.. a fave from now on and forever.* im 28 ill never give up the 80s
Those eyes!
one of the more beautiful actresses of the 80's, at least I've always thought so, especially on St. Elmo's Fire
Cool persona
You wanna know why i'm here?
......
I had nothing better to do.
The definition of cool. " Yes it is you ". She has a genius IQ.
I've always loved the odd ones
the character more enigmatic of this film. I can't understand her.
God I love Ally Sheedy
Ally Sheedy was a very beautiful woman , beautiful for sure , I'm only 22, by coincidence was the old ally at the time of the film, when she was very beautiful !, I wanted to have known her personally at the time of the film, ally sheed in the film , both as strange and when molly helped her on makeup and changing her clothes at the end of the film was beautiful , I fell in love with young Ally Sheedy
OMG I LOVE HER SO MUCH!(: Shes soooo cute and soooo beautiful! i really want to meet her !
she's bad-ass.
i hated the part when she changed.
Happy 57th to my favorite vodka drinker!
Lol
MAN, you are the luckiest man alive. what i would do just to have a girl for just a friend...
I love her...she is the most beautiful woman...why was i born like 6 yrs after this was made?!!!!AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!
glad to see you left the make-over ally out.
Glad I'm not the only one who hated her makeover at the end.
i know im a little late to the party, but that was simply an awesome tribute vid, blew me away, top class,
Hard to believe the same girl could transform into the cute blond on the movie War Games.
Those eyes... They pull you in.
well... if you ever invent a time machine take me back with you :)
@L7freak If the audio was a song, than the owners of the copyright to the song would have alerted TH-cam, and the audio was removed. If the audio was the movie's track, then it is indeed pointless.
Shes my favorite in the movie im madly in love with her
I love Allison! I also like how I look a little like her
I think we all are like Allison in some way
They're just hidden but they are definitely there. :)
@DXcellence718 Ally Sheedy was more charismatic here than Ringwald! Thats the word, charismatic, She was very charismatic!
working on a Delorean unit now
I want a girl like her
My favorite character!!! :)
good character.
I have always wondered, whats that song thats in the background. When Alley comes out of the room, after Claire has put on make up ? Its a beautyful song or piece :) Whats it called ?
she is soo different in this movie then in war games. I think that in High Art we see Alison grown up.
She is amazing :)
I love Allison regardless. New and previous.
I so agree with you
What was the song used for this video. So we can all play the song as we play the video. I loved this video so much with the music.
What about the moment at the end where she comes out of the bathroom with a makeup makeover ? and has that moment with EMILIO?
omg, 0:56 I just spent an hour drawing that.
best thing is when the car drives away, i laugh every time!
i love her so much! but at first i thought she was a creepy boy haha
this video is freakin' awesome!!!
Allison Reynolds, she never went home after school. She used to sleep at the church, or behind the bowling alley.
I Really Wish I Had Her Face.
It's not a character for me, i know someone just like her in real life and i'm proud to call her my fiancee
thank you.. she´s so beautiful ;~)
I now realize this has been my personality the entire time.people forcing me to be a Claire and I've been an Allison this whole time..yet,I also share personality characteristics with John as well. #genderfluidprobs
Relatable
what is it that makes me in love with this girl??
I'll luv her pointy chin always. What a movie
i know it is so cute, i think i love her carektor..
Should never have made her over. She was beyond perfect to me.
Yeah she was FANTASTIC until the make over. And to think this movie is supposed to be about accepting differences. I like Shrek and Shallow Hal for not doing the whole "I fixed you so I can be with you" thing. In Shallow Hal its more like "I fixed me so I can appreciate you."
I need a girlfriend like her
Damn it she makes the cutest squeek!
I;m planning on dressing up as her and not brushing my hair in the morning to see what people in school say. I wish I was born in the 70's.
Thank you
i think its gonna be hard to forget about this sh..
I agree accept I would say "especially" instead of "even".
i love her so much as well haha that is the perfect girl right there :)
Damn well put man!
Allison's me now, let alone then hehe !!!
00:46 eeeeeeeeewwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree
The thing that really weirded me out about her is that she'd give incorrect reactions to people's words... Like if I were to say hi, she'd probably look at me like I killed her parents or something. Anyways Ally Sheedy is an amazing actor. Very gifted.
same here.
I have 5 kids , and no way in hell. Im gonna treat them bad, like 00.10 and pushin them to do something bad. So they get into detention and so on, i respect my childrens privacy. I always knock before entering their rooms, and when they say its ok . I soundproofed the basement livingroom, so they can play on my drums and other kind of music equipment. I do anything for my children, the girls borrows my spikes,GOTH and other kind of make up and other kind of clothes that is around in the house.
im like her
your right
No images of after she gets all pretty.... And Andy is 100% sure he like loves her??!! Still a cute video- I love her- she's hilarious and although not as extreme- my sisters and I are most like her- quiet and we don't have to get high to have fun! :D
I understand everything. She had such a unique character, and at the end she turned into `like all the others` `cute and nice` `dress and shoes` `evening princess` `popular wannabe`... It would be much nicer if they would just kiss, and sport would tell her he will see her on monday or something. Imagine, a character you really liked would turn into something that is opposite to him. Like if you like Sherlock Holmes, imagine if he would turn into george bush at the end. Sucks.
i hope in the after life i get to meet her cuz i know i wont in this 1
