Some Kind of Wonderful

Keith arrives home after taking his savings out of the bank and starts to go upstairs.

He puts his sunglasses in his shirt pocket, but when his father calls him into the room, they're hanging from the front of his t-shirt.

When Watts and Keith are sitting together at the nightclub, the music doesn't match with the band's onstage actions.

When Keith and Amanda leave Hardy's house at the end, Keith unfastens the top button of his shirt and he untucks it from his trousers.

As he walks down the drive, and runs after Watts his shirt is tucked in again.

When Keith's sister, Laura, is talking to her friends about her new "popular" status, she has a military-style vest on over a yellow blouse.

When we see her jump down after being accused of being "false", the vest is gone, but immediately reappears in the next shot.

When Hardy Jenns and Amanda Jones are in the library, Hardy looks back at Keith and has a pencil tucked behind his ear.

In the next shot it's gone.

In the scene where Keith's dad is talking to him after Keith gets out of the shower, Keith's hair is wet.

In the next scene the front has dried and then the next scene it's all wet again.

When Watts is walking away from Keith and Amanda at the end, she wipes away the tears on her right cheek.

When Keith calls her name, and she turns around, the tears reappear on her face.

The position of the orange bag and the blue bag which Amanda Jones puts in her gym locker when confronted by Hardy Jenns.

Watts deliberately covers a star tattoo above her collar bone with makeup while getting ready to chauffeur Keith and Amanda, but when she's in the chauffeur outfit, the collar is high enough to hide the tattoo on its own.

When Watts is shooting craps with the off-duty waiters behind the restaurant, as she counts out the money to place her next bet she's holding a cigarette in her left hand.

In the next shot, her cigarette is in her right hand.

When Watts is walking away from Keith after the "practice" kiss, you can hear the sound of a drumstick hitting the concrete, indicating that she dropped one of her sticks.

Despite this, the next time her hands are within camera range, she's holding two, without having picked the one up off the floor.

During the party scene at Craig's house after Keith wrestles with Craig, Keith's hair color and style changes after they get broken up.

When Keith is asking Watts about Amanda Jones, Watts mistakenly refers to her as Amanda "Johnson".

This by far her best film her image is beautiful in this movie. The plot is fun and enjoyable.

You'll love this movie from the 80's which portrays Keith trying to get a date with Amanda a popular cheerleader who is out of his league! His best friend Watts is a tomboy who is secretly in love with Keith but doesn't let on to him & he is none the wiser.

Definitely nice to watch especially on Thanksgiving! Mary Stuart Watson, Lea Thompson, and Eric Stoltz are all precious throughout, I really like they're comradely.

Eric Stoltz, Lea Thompson, Mary Stuart Masterson, Craig Sheffer, Elias Koteas and John Ashton star in this 1987 romantic comedy-drama. Stoltz (Mask) plays artistic teen, Keith Nelson who has a crush on popular girl, Amanda Jones (Thompson).

"Some Kind of Wonderful" was conceived like a more dark "Pretty in Pink" and, at the same time, making things right, because John Hughes never liked the ending of his own written cult teen film, changed at the 11th hour by the studio executives, featuring Andrew McCarthy looking gaunt and in a fake wig and Molly Ringwald coming together, leaving the fan's favorite, Jon Cryer's Duckie, out in a limbo of his own sexual ambiguity.Focused on directing "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" ('87), like the year before with "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" ('86), Hughes gave in once again the director chair to Howard Deutch, staying as the writer and producer, making a more realistic, emotionally deeper and offbeat version of "Pretty in Pink", being less corny and cheesy and more sophisticated and matured, even if it features the inevitable teens, played by twenty-something years old actors, as usual in the movies involving John Hughes.

Such an endearing movie. Yes, it's predictable, and uses the time-honored romantic comedy formula of the friend who was there under one's nose all along being the 'true love' in the end (that's hardly a spoiler folks), but it's very well done, and I've always loved it.

"Some Kind of Wonderful" may be my favorite John Hughes movie. That says a lot.

Trying to get right what they got so wrong with Pretty in Pink (1986), John Hughes and Howard Deutch teamed up again to make this careful study of the high school dating scene. In the poor corner is Keith (played by the original Marty McFly).

I didn't understand why 'Back To The Future' (BTF) had to be remade start to finish (Stoltz was fired and replaced by Michael J Fox) until watching this highly-rated 'brat pack' flick from the mid 80s directed by the legendary John Hughes .As an aficionado of the genre I've seen many 80s films, but this one sucks big time for me.
