Daniel Stern, John Heard, John Candy

Year: 1991

Yes, it did make the list. Let's be honest, it's a fun movie. Cute little Kevin McCallister is accidentally left home alone, when his family flies to France. Everything would be fine, except two idiot burglars are dead set on robbing his house. If you haven't seen this film... well, maybe you should re-evaluate your life.

10) SIXTEEN CANDLES

Director: John Hughes

Actors: Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Michael Schoeffling,

Blanche Baker, Justin Henry, Havilland Morris, Gedde Watanabe,

Paul Dooley, John Cusack

Year: 1984

Perhaps the funniest wedding scene in cinematic history, Blanche Baker does a marvelous job as an intoxicated bride trying desperately to make her way down the aisle. I nearly died when she yanked off her veil because she couldn't "see with this thing on". This is certainly a warning to all future brides; be careful not to take too many muscle relaxers on the big day.

3.) FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF

Director: John Hughes

Actors: Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, Jennifer Grey, Alan Ruck,

Jeffrey Jones, Ben Stein, Edie McClurg, Charlie Sheen

Year: 1986

The ultimate school-ditching movie, was a major hit and featured a young Matthew Broderick (or as I like to call him... Mr. SJP). Ferris (Broderick) and a couple of friends (Sara and Ruck) hit Chicago for a day of fun and mayhem. Watch for Charlie Sheen in a role that would foreshadow his own life. He plays a drug-addicted delinquent.

2.) SIXTEEN CANDLES

Director: John Hughes

Actors: Molly Ringwald, Michael Schoeffling,

Anthony Michael Hall, Gedde Watanabe, Justin Henry,

Haviland Morris, Blanche Baker, John Cusack, Joan Cusack

Year: 1984

John Hughes hit movie gold with the first of a string of teen masterpieces. The movie follows Samantha (Ringwald in her first starring role), who spends the day trying to subtly remind her family it's her sixteenth birthday. The whole cast is hilarious, but Anthony Michael Hall, Gedde Watanabe, and Blanche Baker stand out.

1.) THE BREAKFAST CLUB

Director: John Hughes

Actors: Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy,

Anthony Michael Hall, Paul Gleason

Year: 1985

Yes, that's right. The number one teen movie takes place solely in a high school library. Even though this film was made 25 years ago, it's still very relevant to America's teens. It made stars out of all it's cast, helping start the media creation known as the 'Brat Pack'.
