"Some Kind of Wonderful" Movie


© Candice Livingston

Ahhh, the eighties. So many great movies to quote. It is sad to think that many of today's youth have not experienced movies such as Sixteen Candles, Say Anything, or Some Kind of Wonderful. The latter is a movie that has a little extra something besides the teen angst found in them all. Some Kind of Wonderful is not only your boy gets the girl movie; it is also your boy realizes he is with the wrong girl, and it becomes a girl gets the guy movie as well.

The guy is Keith, an artistic guy who works at a gas station. The girl he gets is Amanda Jones, the most popular girl in school. The girl who ultimately gets Keith is Watts, his tomboy best friend drummer.

Still aren't convinced to rent this one? Maybe the cast will be an incentive. If that doesn't do it, the following quotes undoubtedly will.

Cast:

Keith Nelson...Eric Stoltz
Watts...Mary Stuart Masterson
Amanda Jones...Lea Thompson

Quotes:

Watts: You couldn't score her in a million years. A: you're too shy and closed up to even approach her and B: she's kill you.

Keith: Hey Watts, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
Watts: Keith, once a fool, always a fool, right?

Keith: Well, I like art, I work in a gas station, my best friend is a tomboy. These things don't fly too well in the American high school.

Keith: You can't judge a book by its cover.
Watts: Yeah, but you can tell how much its gonna cost.

Watts: It's better to swallow pride than blood.

Duncan: I'm here to kick your [butt], and you know it, and everybody here knows it. And above all, you deserve it. In fact, I think it's safe to say that this party is about to become a historical fact.

Watts: Break his heart, I'll break your face.

Watts: I think we'd get along much better if we didn't spend so much time together anymore.
Keith: Why?
Watts: Because I'm driving you crazy, and you're driving me crazy, and I'd rather not see you and have you think good things about me than have you see me and hate me because I can't afford to have you hate me Keith. The only things I care about in this...life are me and my drums and you.

Watts: Don't go mistaking paradise for a pair of long legs.

Keith: I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was so hard on you.
Watts: Me too.
Keith: You always hurt the ones you love.
