Very nice! I like the song choice, it has such an 80's feel to it.
I loved this movie so much. Thanks for the nostalgia! :D

[grammarwoman]

Thank you! Picking this song felt really right to me, the 80s sound being one reasons, so I'm glad it worked for you, too. This was definitely my favorite John Hughes film (best ending Y/Y?), so it was so much fun to vid.

Oh my goodness, great vid, great song choice, and I'm totally bookmarking this forever to show to people in order to convince them to watch Some Kind of Wonderful. Terrific.

[grammarwoman]

Thank you so much! The song worked out so well for this, the vid just fell into place from there. I'm glad to share my love for the movie with everyone, so please share it far and wide. :)

Oh YAY! I've never seen the movie and I was all invested coming up to the end and it was all awwwwwww :D Really well put together and all 'round fantabulousness.

[grammarwoman]

:D :D :D

Thank you! Watts has such an amazing face of woe (Keith is SUCH a dumbass), and yet such strength. I'm glad it paid off for you. I think everyone should see the movie, but I may be biased.

Aww. Very cute. (Hey, this is a movie I've never gotten around to seeing. I should fix that.)

[grammarwoman]

Thank you! As I mentioned above, this is my favorite John Hughes movie, and I think everyone should see it who hasn't. It's actually aged pretty well, IMHO.

This movie! My adolescence! Oh man, vidder, you have no idea how happy you have made me that there is finally a vid for this movie. So happy. :) :) :)

[grammarwoman]

Yay! :D I think SKoW hit that sweet spot for those of us who were misfit tweens/teens right then, especially coming off the WTF ending of Pretty in Pink. Or maybe it was just me. In any case, thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Aw, what a sweet vid! I don't know the source but the main character seems awesome and so sympathetic -- I definitely want to check it out. Great job!

[grammarwoman]

Thank you! Watts is really a fantastic character; I'm happy that came through for you. I hope you do see the movie at some point - it's one of my favorites.

OMG, I LOVE THIS!!! Mary Stuart Masterton is amazing and hot, and the song and editing are perfect, and eeeeeeee! *flappy hands and applause*

[grammarwoman]

:D :D :D Thank you so much!

Her FACE, amirite? Her wonderfully expressive face of WOE MY LOVE IS A DUMBASS. The song felt like the perfect match for her, so I'm glad it worked for you.
