Sixteen Candles (1984)

The Era: The 1980s
Cringe-Worthy Moment: The geek, played perfectly by Anthony Michael Hall, shows off Molly Ringwald's underwear to his nerdy cohorts.
Classic Line: "Dong's here for five hours, and he's got somebody. I live here my whole life, and I'm like a disease!" Molly Ringwald
Why It's Classic: Yet another fine example of Molly Ringwald channeling the universal anxieties of high school: Why doesn't anyone understand me? Why can't I get a break? When will I find love?
