The ’80s birthed many classic films, specifically formative teen comedies that we still love to this day. Come to think of it, we really have John Hughes to thank for all those teen shenanigans. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink are just some of the classics the writer-director is responsible for in that decade. John Hughes movies changed how we talk about teens on-screen, as he just seemed to have a knack for writing teenage characters with finesse and a talent for crafting the worlds in which they exist. Another staple of 1980s Hollywood was teen screen queen Molly Ringwald, who starred in multiple Hughes productions. She was the “it” girl of the ’80s, leading countless films with endearing charm.
