Sweet Sixteen Candles

KERSTIN and I watched the JOHN HUGHES classic "SIXTEEN CANDLES" on DVD yesterday -- Kerstin's 16th birthday.
The story of the girl (Molly Ringwald) whose family forgets her 16th birthday provided a fun way to help celebrate Kerstin's own "Sweet 16."
The 1984 film rewards frequent viewing, whether it's to enjoy the memorable quotes ("Relax, would you? We have $70 and a pair of girls underpants. We're safe as kittens."), to spot future stars in the cast (Jamie Gertz is in there) or to remember the great music of the time period (Oingo Boingo, the Specials and Tim Finn provided tunes that are little-heard today).
"Sixteen Candles" provided a great opportunity to share my daughter's 16th birthday while enjoying something we both love. I'm so glad we watched it.
