## Description

In his debut film as writer-director, John Hughes immediately cemented himself as the king of teen cinema with Sixteen Candles, and in the process also introduced one of the most iconic faces of ‘80s Americana: Molly Ringwald.For high schooler Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald), her 16th birthday might be the worst day of her life. Her entire family has forgotten about it due to her older sister’s impending wedding; her biggest crush, high school hunk Jake Ryan (Michael Schoeffling) has discovered an embarrassing “sex quiz” filled out by Sam in which she details how she is saving herself for him; and to make matters worse, she is hounded by a relentless nerd (Anthony Michael Hall) who won’t take no for an answer. But Sam’s sweet sixteen isn’t over yet, and before the end of the night, all her birthday wishes could still come true…Taking the rude and crude humor of the teen sex comedies that came before it and placing it within the intimately portrayed perspective of a girl's mid-teenage-life crisis, Sixteen Candles is a bombshell of 80s pop culture that continues to be debated and beloved over three decades after its release.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTSNew restoration by Arrow Films from a 4K scan of the original negativeHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-ray™ presentation of the Theatrical Version of the film (92 mins), plus Blu-ray™ premiere Extended Version (94 mins), featuring the additional “cafeteria” scene newly remastered in high definitionOriginal lossless mono audio, plus 5.1 DTS-HD MA surround optionOriginal English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAlternate “home video” soundtrack prepared for VHS and laserdisc releasesOption to watch additional scene from the Extended Version separatelyCasting ‘Sixteen Candles’, an all-new audio interview with casting director Jackie BurchWhen Gedde Met Deborah, a newly filmed conversation between actors Gedde Watanabe and Deborah PollackRudy the Bohunk, a newly filmed interview with supporting actor John KapelosThe In-Between, a newly filmed interview with camera operator Gary KibbeThe New Wave Nerd, a newly filmed interview with filmmaker Adam Rifkin, who shadowed John Hughes while working as an extra on setMusic for Geeks, a newly filmed interview with composer Ira NewbornA Very Eighties Fairytale, an all-new video essay written and narrated by writer Soraya Roberts, looking at the film from a contemporary feminist perspectiveCelebrating Sixteen Candles, an archive documentary featuring interviews with cast, crew and admirers, including stars Anthony Michael Hall, Paul Dooley, Justin Henry, Haviland Morris and Gedde WatanabeTheatrical trailers, TV spots and radio spotsImage galleriesBD-ROM: PDF of the original shooting scriptReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sara DeckFIRST PRESSING ONLY: Illustrated collectors’ booklet featuring new writing on the film by Nikki Baughan and Bryan Reesman

Review: Awesome movie - A perfect reminder of my youth. Movie we have watched many times
Review: 30 years on, it's now a bonafide classic. - I recently chose to watch this film with my wife; it reminds us of when we were kids. These characters were older than us when it was released, but there was this immense sense of longing from us kids who were just a few years younger - we wanted to be older. It's always that eternal wish when you're young - "I can't wait til I'm older". Well, kid - you go your wish. We're older now - ever so much more old than being a teenager. See, that's the rub of that wish - when you get older, you keep getting older. It's not so bad, but you don't realize that you don't stay a teen forever - and those overwhelming feelings of having a crush or being in love... they become a memory of that part of your life. Not that you don't love and love well as an adult, but there's that sense of urgency you have as a kid that you can't duplicate no matter how hard you try. Until you put on John Hughes "Sixteen Candles" and, for a little less than two hours, you can recapture that magic for just a bit. And you remember how simultaneously awful and wonderful that time was. You remember having a crush. You remember the social awkwardness, or the weird moments when somehow, you ended up on top. You remember when music... dancing was everything. And even if you were a Jake Ryan or a Farmer Ted, you could have your moment in the sun. And, if you were a girl, no matter how pretty, popular, mousy or ignored - you were all Sam sometime. I miss John Hughes, and I miss my teenage years - but I'm glad I lived through a time where I once had both, and now I'm a lucky and happy adult who can appreciate what I once had and I can still look forward to everything to come.

Excellent film, in every way. You will fall in love with The characters. Ignore reviews that say this movie is tasteless or harmful. It’s an exaggeration and it’s just another effort to censor speech and art. The Arrow video blu ray has a booklet containing a long article about these 80s John Hughes movies being insensitive, but noting that they’re just good enough to still exist. Because they “start conversations” about important topics. So does this mean that if they weren’t good, they would be scrubbed from hIstory? I was in high school in the 2000s - way after these movies were made, and we spoke and behaved in much the same way that the kids in these movies speak and behave. The problem may not be that these kids in the movie were ignorant or mean spirited or evil. The problem may be that people in the age of twitter are censored, repressed, shamed and instructed to think in terms of identity rather than individuality. I thought a persons background or identity is not their defining characteristic. It’s a side note. Something that can be made fun of. It’s not a point of pride, to be born a certain way. Pride is reserved for accomplishments. That being said, the Asian American kid in sixteen candles was lovable, fun and well-liked by his peers, but the fact that the movie played a gong during his scenes removes all that makes him great or somehow lessens his worth? Absolutely not, it’s poking fun! There is a greater understanding that this movie covers. We are all worthy of being lovingly made fun of for a multitude of reasons. It’s important to laugh at ourselves and each other. Whether that be because of aspects of our character or inalienable traits. Its the intent behind the joke that matters. Did the joke intend to hurt people? Or was it all in fun? Getting teased is part of growing up and becoming an adult in a harsh world. And the movie does NOT glorify sexual deviancy, it acknowledges that some young people don’t understand the gravity and seriousness of this behavior. To show that something exists does not glorify it. In 2021 an acceptable movie is something like “midsommar” a grotesque, disgusting, inhumane film that features torture and gore beyond belief. But making a joke about someone is what should be censored and shamed? It’s kind of strange honestly. There aren’t countless damaging and inflammatory opinions in the review section of all the filth that is currently available to watch on streaming services like there is for this movie. Why is human suffering enjoyable, while lighthearted teen antics are unwatchable? I hope this isn’t the permanent direction we are headed. Because graphic images of violence over long periods of time wear down a persons ability to experience empathy, and are much more damaging to the soul than inappropriate jokes. I hope that most people still realize this.
