I’ve always had a huge crush with Lea Thompson

[bethhewitt]

My favourite films of Lea's are all of the Back To The Future films, Dennis The Menace, The Beverly Hillbillies, Space Camp and Some Kind Of Wonderful. I would love to meet her. I hope she will attend comic con again in the UK where I live. I haven't had the chance to meet her yet.

Just finished the movie today, never cried that much before 👍👍

That "boyfriend at the time" she keeps mentioning is the one and only, Dennis Quaid.

I have met Tom Wilson who plays Biff in the Back To The Future films. He is so kind and so funny. I met him a few times over that weekend at London Film And Comic Con and each time I met him, he kept saying he had missed me. It was so sweet.

After Back to the Future and North Shore this is one of my favorite 80's movies.

Such an underrated movie 🍿🎥 I'd put it 3rd after Ferris & Breakfast of John Hughes movies ( he wrote it ) All 3 Actors were Phenomenal ( Big crush on Lea Thompson ) 💋💋💋

Amanda Jones was the real hero of SKOW. She gave up those earrings because she knew Keith was really in love with Watts, and she wanted them to be happy.

The way that Hollywood thinks of marriage.."thinking this will last A YEAR" walking down the aisle..u dont get married if u think its gonna last a year..but to Lea's credit they did honor their committment for a long time now- good for them

When I dad saw the film many years ago he thought mary stuart masterson was beautiful. I always loved both lea thompson and Mary stuart masterson.

Shot scenes in wilmington and san pedro california. especially the house at 1319 forgot the street but know were it is. Grandmother near the location. could not believe it when I saw the movie.

[ChrisReise]

She doesn't even discuss the movie all that much. This is more about her married to the director.

[realjimmyd]

If they do a Bonnie raitt biopic she's a shoe in I think 😎👌

[donatoiacovino]

The soundtrack to this movie is even better than "Pretty in Pink"

When she and Howard Deutch argue, does she call him Howard the Duck? LOL
