<strong>'Sixteen Candles': </strong>John Hughes' first movie introduced us to Molly Ringwald, who plays Samantha Baker. But what sets this film apart is the character of Jake Ryan -- Samantha's high school crush. Ryan -- played by Michael Schoeffling -- kind of became a poster boy for the perfect crush among countless teens in the '80s who watched this film. Ryan seals the deal when he takes Samantha home, brings out a candlelit birthday cake and reveals he has a big crush on Samantha too.
