Some Kind of Wonderful (1987 Howard Deutch)

Eric Stoltz is some kind of wonderful as misfit who gets the dream date Lea Thompson while his best buddy drummer and tomboy Mary Stuart Masterson is really the one for him. Add in high school jock Craig Sheffer, sister Maddie Corman and nice skinhead Elias Koteas, season and stir well. One of the least sentimental John Hughes scripts is fun. High School was a dangerous place even before people started shooting everyone.
