    Pros: Independent, likes chilling with a movie and ordering in.



    Cons: Jailbait!



    All these movies make me pine for the pre-schlubby dude rom-com days.

    While still pondering the re-emergence of McCarthy, Stolz and Spader in my mind (and heart), brought on by this, I can only say - thanks!

    @Rooo sez BISH PLZ: Stoltz was a serial killer on Grey's Anatomy, scary, but it was nice to see the schooldays crush again, even as a dying menace

    I'm glad you gave Ferris Bueller an A because I would totally date him.

    With all due respect to the adorability that was Andrew McCarthy -- it was, and always will be, Duckie for me. The ending of "Pretty in Pink" made me want to throw my black jelly shoes at the screen. That, and Annie Potts finally going "normal" and being all happy about it - still makes by inner 8th-grader seethe.

    I might or might not (read: do) belong to a facebook group called "I'm Waiting For My Jake Ryan." (Created back when groups were not "universal" and only people from your college could join, so sorry for the rest of you ladies who are screwed and can't join it.)

    Hmmm. I disagree about Blaine. I mean, if this were Pride and Prejudice, he'd totally just be Mr. Bingley -- doofy and easily led, but genuine. I mean, Duckie was a stalker, no? At least Blaine was asking her out properly.

    maybe i've read the DSM-IV too many times, but something about Ferris Buller's drop dead charm, brilliant lies and crazy schemes screams "sociopath" to me.

    @themorethemerrier: I have always thought the very same thing. Especially with that "I could dismember you with a toothpick and then go get a cheeseburger" smile Broderick sported through out the entire thing.

    Late to the party, but Jake Ryan was/is/will always be THE ONE! 800 years later, and I still have a massive crush on him. Sigh!

    Ferris motherfucking Bueller. I've had a crush on him that won't quit ever since I was 10. It's even spilled over on to Matthew Broderick, the person.

    I love you Hortense for giving Ferris the win. You know he (both the character and the actor) is manipulating you but you don't care. He (again both) should be the dictionary definition of charisma. Too cute for words.

    Duckie introduced me to Otis Redding, so to me he wins the "best fictional high school boyfriend," award.

    Men come and go, but Otis shines.
