    I voted for 16 Candles but Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller and Home Alone are way up there!

    I voted 16 Candles, and I too, love Dong.

    I just love when he says "Lake. Big Lake."

    I voted Other: The Sure Thing

    inspiration for DS's name came from a quote.

    Seriously, I don't think I can pick one. It may be a three way tie between 16 Candles, Ferris and Breakfast Club.

    They are all so good though. So many classic moments in all of them!!!

    ETA: That blog posting is amazing. How freakin' cool.

    I'm not a huge John Hughes fan, but I love Home Alone.
