Man, I think about this all the time. My parents were teenagers in the 80s and even just for a day I wish I could live in sometime in the 1980s, I'm 17 so I often wonder how my life would be like at that age in, say, 1986. The closest I have to the 80s is music and movies, but that obviously doesn't compare to the real thing.
3:49 As she and Jake are walking to his car and she sees her dad looking at her...When she points to Jake and mouths the words "This is the boy !!!" is one of my favorite moments.
It's funny how my parents were in their 30's when they saw this movie in the theater. I asked my Dad, "What made you and Mom want to see a "teen" movie?" He told me that it looked funny. Now, 40 years later, my parents are in their 70's, and this is still one of their all time favorite comedies. It's a classic that will never get old.
I love how they hid Jake in the background until the last car pulled away, and then "If You Were Here" started playing. Then, after Jake waves at Samantha, she turns around to see if anyone is behind her. Classic and priceless directing. One of my all time favorite movies.
I always imagine that Jake choosing Sam over Caroline and the resulting change in his life might be to his liking considering the difference in "Parties". Jake's parents would apreciate the lower cleaning and insurance bill as well. All that damage. SMHD
Actually no, the lyrics are “If you were I could deceive you”. It’s a great song, but the lyrics aren’t the best for the scene, and I wonder is it trying to say he’s just there to get into her panties
I own 2 right now since 2013. The timing belt changes along with balance belt WITH idler bearing changes are mandatory to keep the engine from losing time and bending the valves.Every 33.000 miles is pretty much the rule.I love the 50-50 weight distribution to each wheel. These cars are great on the curves. Only breakdown I had was when my starter solenoid went out while shopping. It gave me warnings that I ignored. Great Saturday night machines! Ebay helps keep the parts prices down. Happy roads!
I’m 10 days older than Molly Ringwald. John Hughes hit the nail right on the head when it comes to what teenage life was like for us right down to the crazy house parties. I wish I could go back!
I just want to admit that I'm a 31 year old man who audibly yelled "Hurry up and f**king kiss!" as I watched this scene in my empty apartment. I feel absolutely no shame in this whatsoever.
@Trevor Rogert Not sure where you're getting 14 from. MR was 16 in 1984 (when the move was released) and its Sixteen Candles, after all. But MS is significantly older than MR in real life. That said, unless MR comes out and says she was coerced in some way, it doesn't really take away from the impact of this scene.
Dude that's totally fine, it's like that guy on Reddit who admitted that he was 41 and still slept with his teddy bear from childhood. I told him that there was nothing wrong with that and that I thought it was adorable. I like it when men can actually show their emotions and be soft. It's not a sign of weakness to show emotion and too many men are taught that it is and it's unfortunate.
I always loved this movie’s ending with the cake scene and its general 80s type comedy. Sixteen Candles was definitely one of my favorite movies growing up.
I didn’t grow up in the 80s but I did grow up watching John Hughes movies. So many memories bound to 16 Candles. In the words of Iona from Pretty in Pink, “Why can’t we start old and get younger?” 🥺😭
The last song “If You Were Here” by Thompson Twins is pure magic and sounds perfect for the ending but the lyrics don’t fit the ending at all. The song fits more between Jake and Caroline as their relationship falls apart by the end of the movie “If you were here, I could deceive you. If you were here you would believe. Or would you suspect my emotion wondering. Do not want a part of this anymore” - it’s a song about loss of love and drifting apart
But, I know the song was in Jake's head all the while he was with Sam in the last scene. He was saying goodbye to Caroline and parting on good ways in his consciousness knowing Samantha was the one. True bliss 😊 but also saying goodbye to another love in his life.
So true, but those synths are absolute perfection when they show him waiting there and they finally connect, it lasts about 15 seconds allowing the viewer to become so fully absorbed in the moment, the vocals become secondary This scene is beautiful af
Donna Piraino Same. He was the nicest and cutest guy ever! He wasn’t my first, but I was stupid enough to not give him a real chance, because I was just getting over a toxic relationship, and was hung up on bad guys. I guess I was used to the cruel treatment and was not ready for something calm and peaceful. It was as though if there was little to no drama, I wasn’t interested.
or better yet the guy you didn't appreciate because you were hung up on guys that treated you like shit and you used the nice guy's shoulder to cry on....he didn't get away...you tossed him aside
Jeff Mejia nope not at all.Family interference causing issues that were too complicated for us to deal with when we were both very young, We parted amicably...But it was very sad for the both of us...
@@latesha-kharizma I am 55 now and have been quietly obsessed with this song even today!!! Enjoy "Lay Your Hands on Me" and "Doctor Doctor by this amazing band!!!
Holy snikies, 1:04 the groom I think is the actor who was also the high school janitor named Carl in The Breakfast Club which Molly Ringwald also starred in. ;) Lots of famous actors I recognize in this scene.
Damn, never noticed that! John Hughes definitely stuck to a small club of actors... until Molly and Anthony decided to move on and he had to find new ones.
Everyone says Disney painted bad ideas of prince charming into their heads... My mom showed me and my sister this on VHS when we were pretty young. Totally messed up my expectations, Jake was the ultimate prince charming.
One of greatest scenes in Teen movie history! Never get sick of watching it! Why Thompson Twins song Wish I was here wasn´t released was a shame!"!!!Great song would of worked well on radio at that time!!
I remember my ex that I was with for several years got me a birthday card with this scene on it that said I'll always have a crush on you. I've kept that card ever since. We are still pretty good friends to this day, we just got together when we were super young and decided that our lives were going in different directions.
I am the epitome of an 80s kid. I was born in 70 so obviously I was 10 through 19 in the 80s, talk about growing up and learning about life and becoming a man! The cars, the music the TV shows the style the fashion, the malls the list goes on and on!!!! my mentality is if it’s not from the 80s, I don’t want any part of it
@@H81234 The 90's were cool too. I got lucky being born in the 70's because nothing beats the 80's. No cellphones, just real friends and heartfelt relationships.
Samantha looks like a Disney princess in that Beautiful dress with her birthday cake. And Jake is a true Disney Prince for making the moment about her. 🥰🥰
I love watching this, suddenly I come back to reality and the sadness hits me because the 80’s are gone and there will never be another era like it.
You still have the memories, but almost everybody agrees the 80's were super cool.
The 90s was great too. Especially music.
Man, I think about this all the time.

I promise you you'd see what we mean about the 80s. It was such a vibe💯💯

Saame
Brings a tear to my eye every time
I watched this in the theater with my Dad. He
LOVED this moment in the movie!
Great scene . ♥️
Ha she says this is the boy
John Hughes RIP, you understood teenage emotions and a master of characters and story.
Love this film
I like this film, It was awesome, watched it on Netflix when it was on Netflix.
He really captured an era in a few bottles, this film being one of them.
Daddy was like homeboy drives a Porsche 👌
I think they became friends.
Chris Gurvas 😂😂😂!
No ...he opened the door #honoring her ❤️
not a porsche
1983 Porsche 944... No not a Datsun
For me, THIS is how you write a romantic movie.
John Hughs knew exactly what he was doing in the 80’s. Such a beautiful film
yes!!
John Hughes got me thru a shitty childhood. He was a God send ...
Agree Classic Ending & Movie The 80s Was Lit!!!
I agree
It's funny how my parents were in their 30's when they saw this movie in the theater. I asked my Dad, "What made you and Mom want to see a "teen" movie?" He told me that it looked funny.

The dad is one of the best characters in the whole film.
This takes me back to a time where everything was great in teen movies...love the 80's!!!!
Same... the good old days!
@Lalás Tima i bet you're a lot of fun at parties
@@lflagr He/she has a point, there's a lot of things wrong with this movie, even though the plot is generally better than most of today's movies
lflagr Yesss pointing out harassment should shamed ayeee
Miss those days. Movies aren't like they use to be.
Best ending to a movie ever and perfect song for it!!!!
What's the song?
Absolutely the most perfect song to use in that part.
I have been obsessed with that song since then, and I'm 55 now!!
@@stairway5427 ❤️✨
For me, it's all about the melody. LOL The lyrics don't fit the scene at all actually, but that melody❣❣
This AND the ending to “Pretty In Pink,” are maybe the two most iconic soundtrack moments ever...
Actually no, the lyrics are “If you were I could deceive you”. It’s a great song, but the lyrics aren’t the best for the scene, and I wonder is it trying to say he’s just there to get into her panties
Song: Wish You Were Here by Thompson Twins.
Jake: "Make a wish."
Sam: "But it already came true."
Roll credits.
Perfect.
My life is complete. I got this car last night. 1983 944, red with black wheels...I have wanted this car in decent shape since childhood and I got it!
You can pick me up!!! Jk, I’m not a redhead with freckles... is 22 young ? LOL
Lucky bastard. Good for you.

Damn, bro congrats ! My dream car is a 911 Carrera 3.2 from the 80’s.
80’s Porsche’s 💥
Vintage '80s prom/bridesmaid's dress. Molly is sensational.
She always was.
And always will be!!!!
The dad is cool lol
Yeah, to let Sam go off with a guy who he's never met before.
It's all about the car.
And it runs on water, man!!

I wish John Hughes had directed my life.
I wish I could make a hot woman with a computer.
..heh heh (agreed)....luv reading creative reality check comments....
Me toooo omg !
Me too
so true, me as well!
'It already came true" is the most perfect movie ending.
Definitely. The timing is perfect ... she pauses a second and then says it!
Yes
I don’t care what era you were born in….everyone has their own Jake Ryan.
I'll be 50 in a few months but after watching this I'm giggling and crying at this love scene like I'm a teenager again....lol. Memories. Love this💕
This movie would suck if it were made today.
Aww ❤
I've watched this movie on Netflix. And I 100% agree this is a great movie.
@Veronica A. Me too!
I love this movie!❤
One of the best 80's movie endings ever! The song is perfect. If you were here by the Thompson Twins. John Hughes was such a legend.
I can still remember the first time I watched this in the 80s...almost 40 years later, and it NEVER gets old.
Perfect ending. Two sensitive souls finally get to meet each other.
You can tell; they're life-long Lovers. Together FOREVER!
I loved her purple dress, so pretty
The good old days. Loved it. It wasn't perfect but it was better than how it is now!!
Nothing says hot but a hot guy picking you up in a hot car. I just love this stuff.
This movie will be 40 yrs old next yr. Best era ever for everything!
Totally agree. 80's were the best by far
I’m 10 days older than Molly Ringwald. John Hughes hit the nail right on the head when it comes to what teenage life was like for us right down to the crazy house parties. I wish I could go back!
Gives me goosebumps. The song, the scene, everything.
Omg!!!!! Kitty was right .... Jake Ryan is so handsome😍😍😍😍😍😍
If I was samantha I would have done Jake as soon as we got to his house.
Sam probably did, shortly after that kiss.
@@barbaragandara2946
😂 that's why Jake dumped her and went back to Carolyn
@@SUGAR_XYLER for real?!! 😱😱 Pls say ure joking
They’re joking. Lol

As the song was playing and they started to kiss tears began to fall
He is so handsome
Actually beautiful 😍
Oh, he was. I would have kissed him.
This was such a great time the 80s,never gets old or boring,this was a magical time and always will be
The movies, the music, the fashion ect... there will never be another decade like the 80's!
Still one of my favorite movies.
"That's the boy!"
He puts her in the car... a gentleman.
😍
Jake Ryan has a nice butt 3:50
I can not remember how many times I watched this movie. Never gets tired of it....
Omg I forgot how much I love this movie, still hits the same 🫠
I would love to reenact this whole seen with my wife and our adult children!! Loved John Hughes movies!!!!
Still one of the best movie endings ever.
I always loved this movie’s ending with the cake scene and its general 80s type comedy. Sixteen Candles was definitely one of my favorite movies growing up.
I grew up watching this movie even tho I'm a 2000s baby,this moment gives me nostalgia every time.
And that's cause you can't put a date on something that's timeless 😁
I didn’t grow up in the 80s but I did grow up watching John Hughes movies. So many memories bound to 16 Candles. In the words of Iona from Pretty in Pink, “Why can’t we start old and get younger?” 🥺😭
Classic ending! My childhood was amazing
2:25- 2:35.......me when I run into someone at Walmart that obviously knows me, but I have no idea how........
Lmao
HAHA
God I love Molly’s reaction it’s so genuine
John Hughes was a genius. An absolute genius.
My dad who is an Army 82nd airborne vet loves this movie and showed it to me and my sis as kids. Movies like this made everyone happy.
3:48 -- "THIS IS THE BOY!!!"
I died 😂
Best ending song to any movie!
Omg - all these years later and it’s always just as good as the 1st time ❤️
Jake Ryan will always have my heart ❤️
Everybody loves Jake. A feeling of young love hits me everytime I watch this ending!! Thankyou John Hughes!!!
The ending really makes it a classic.
Yeah, You. No more words are needed.
Somehow I watch this every time it's my birthday, as I an 80s baby you got to appreciate also movies like this! 🎂💞
Looks like the weddings I was in or attended back in the 80's. Fun times! 🤪
Best scene, that song (2:15) "If You Were Here" by the Thompson Twins makes it!
I love Jake Ryan.
Me too. Hope I meet a guy as handsome as that.

i love how her father immediately approves
Well the mom and him forgot her birthday so she is entitled to the immediate approval. Plus that would be a great present for her 😄
