Overlooked Film Recommendation
Tell me about an old movie you love - define "old" how you like, but nothing 21st century - and explain why more people ought to watch it. Looking for hidden gems over headliners, so try to pick movies you feel like the average person might not have heard of. Basically, Kirk Douglas died and I feel sad I haven't watched more than I have, and it makes me wanna watch and talk about movies. And while plot points are prolly essential, no spoilers :)

Some Kind of Wonderful

It came out in 1987 and it was written by John Hughes (Breakfast Club, Home Alone, Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink). It has a classic kind of love story plot. Watts and Keith are best friends, Keith loves popular girl Amanda, Watts helps Keith planning and executing the perfect date for Amanda, Watts has a secret that she is in love with Keith. Watts is literally the coolest girl in any film I have ever seen. She says "Skill beyond skill. Technique." And I thought it was coolest thing ever. Keith is obviously oblivious to Watts' crush on him. But damn does he try hard for the popular girl Amanda, he paints her a damn PORTRAIT. And its GOOD. Goals. Anyways, the end is my favorite part. I won't say what happens but its like the best acting I have ever seen. Two characters are able to say something on their minds, but just from the looks on their faces. And you're just like YES. This movie is so underated and I have never met someone who has heard of it. 10/10 all around movie.
