The Big Picture The '80s birthed many classic films, specifically formative teen comedies that we still love to this day. Come to think of it, we really have John Hughes to thank for all those teen shenanigans. Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink are just some of the classics the writer-director is responsible for in that decade.

Molly Ringwald Wanted Viggo Mortensen for 'Sixteen Candles' When casting for the film began, Molly Ringwald was brought in to play the main character of Samantha, as John Hughes had written the character based on her. So she was really a no-brainer, and while watching the film, it’s clear to see why. It may be impossible for another actress to portray a teenage girl of the same caliber that Molly Ringwald did.

The Lord of the Rings Franchise Boosted Mortensen's Career As interesting as it is to imagine Viggo Mortensen in the role of Jake Ryan it’s also clear that Michael Schoeffling really was the perfect choice. As the casting director said, Viggo was quiet and shy in his audition and that just wouldn’t translate well to the popular jock character of Jake Ryan. Sure, he had the heartthrob thing down but we’ll happily take him as Aragorn instead.
