25 Best Christmas Films

10) EDWARD SCISSORHANDS

Director: Tim Burton

Actors: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Anthony Michael Hall,

Dianne Wiest, Kathy Baker, Vincent Price, Alan Arkin

Year: 1990

Back when Johnny Depp was just 'that hot guy from 21 Jump Street', he met a quirky weirdo by the name of Tim Burton. This meeting led to the two becoming one of the most powerful duos in Hollywood, but it all started with a strange little film called "Edward Scissorhands". Everything about this film is awesome (the set, costumes, screenplay, and the acting). Of course, Depp stands out, but I especially like the sweet, Betty-Crocker-ish performance by Dianne Weist.

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.

20 Best Child Performances

Actor: ANTHONY MICHAEL HALL

Film: "Sixteen Candles"

Character: Ted

Year: 1984

Age: 16

What he is doing now: Using his found fame as the quintessential 'nerd', Hall starred in "Weird Science" and "The Breakfast Club". When he got older, however, he transformed himself physically (he gained weight) in order to break out of the type-casting. He has had roles in "Edward Scissorhands", "The Dark Knight", and he starred in the show "The Dead Zone" for five seasons.

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'.
