Sixteen Candles - Flashback Edition [DVD]

Great memories of the 80s! One of the best films of the decade, along with Pretty in Pink. It aged very well, too, with newer audiences appreciating the storyline. It's still very relatable.

I loved this movie then and I love it now! Great to show my nieces!

Molly Ringwald is just plain great in this movie. I really became a fan after watching her.

Always a favorite!

Good flick. Love this movie .

Love this movie, a classic!

Of all of John Hughes' movies, Sixteen Candles, is one of the films that is still entertaining. Hughes had this ability to create films as if teenagers were the ones who actually wrote the script. The only movie in his repertoire that I feel is still relatable is The Breakfast Club. However, this film, Sixteen Candles, did not age well, but it is meant to be a fun watch, but you need to at least know some of the '80s humor and slang to understand the film's references. I get it because I am the '80s to '90s child and some of the words, phrases, and a few of the more ethnically insensitive depictions were funny then, but they're certainly not now. Sixteen Candles is one of those 1980s films that is a gem and one where you can watch it for just pure entertainment and laugh at the ridiculous humor from back in the day! This film has been upgraded to blu-ray with a terrific, solid transfer from a 4K scan of the original negative.

I was too old to see this film when it came out: I’m younger than that now. Samantha has the usual teen girl angst: guys, competition with other girls, concerns about her attractiveness and physical development, being noticed. The movie gently makes fun of them and of a few other targets as well (old people, wedding, immigrants, etc). Sam is expecting special attention on her sixteenth birthday, but her entire family, caught up in her sister’s wedding the next day, completely forgets about it. Her grandparents arrive and are interested in her development. How are you, she asks? They respond with a bevy of physical ailments. Her grandmother gives her a hug and declares that her breast are developing. Great, Sam says, “I’ve just been felt up by grandmother.” Sam and her friend are awed when they see a more developed teen in the shower. She turns out to be the girlfriend of the guy that Sam is interested in—a senior who, she thinks, doesn’t know she exists. No way she can compete with her, Sam supposes. Meanwhile, she has attracted the attention of a geeky freshman whom she tries to shove off. There is a touching scene when Sam’s father comes to her at night to apologize to her for forgetting her birthday. It seems out of place in the film until we see the parallel scene, the geek mixing martinis and giving Sam’s heartthrob senior advice about girls. The satire is so gentle that most viewers seem to think the film is a straight story. In the years since the film, many people have lost the ability to laugh at these topics—all the more reason to see this film.

Sixteen Candles (1984) es una de las comedias juveniles más emblemáticas de los años 80. Molly Ringwald brilla en el papel principal y transmite una combinación perfecta de vulnerabilidad, humor y encanto. La química entre los personajes funciona muy bien y la película mantiene un ritmo ligero que la hace muy fácil de disfrutar incluso décadas después de su estreno. Aunque algunos elementos reflejan claramente la época en que fue realizada y pueden sentirse anticuados para ciertos espectadores actuales, sigue siendo una obra fundamental dentro del cine juvenil estadounidense. En cuanto a esta edición Blu-ray del 35.º aniversario, la presentación es excelente. La imagen luce notablemente más limpia y definida que en formatos anteriores, conservando el aspecto cinematográfico original sin exagerar el procesamiento digital. Los colores son vibrantes y el nivel de detalle es muy bueno para una producción de 1984. El audio también cumple adecuadamente, permitiendo disfrutar tanto de los diálogos como de la banda sonora característica de la época.

Only have to say 80s movies are amazing
