I Want To Wear John Cusack Around My Neck

With the Oscars safely behind us, let's pay homage to the movies that really mattered. You know, the ones that make us want to lose our virginity all over again. Or, kick that bitch-of-a-babysitter in the knees. Or maybe even give John Cusack another chance. (The 80's John Cusack was sooooo much better. Wouldn't you agree?)

In honor of Say Anything, the movie that made every teenage boy long for a foreign exchange student and every teenage girl find cassette tapes romantic. (Purple 'Say Anything' Necklace by Missbluebirdandoscar @ etsy)

In honor of The Breakfast Club, the movie that made rock chicks fall in love with jocks, and rock dudes fall in love with bitches. (Breakfast Club Finger Puppets by abbeychristine @ etsy)

In honor of The Karate Kid, the movie that made every scrawny teenage boy hope that one day, he too would be able to catch a fly with chopsticks. (Daniel-San Karate Kid Journal by PaperCutsStudio @ etsy)

In honor of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the movie that made it okay to have a semi-slutty girlfriend and a neurotic third wheel for a best friend. ('Save Ferris' Buttons by manhandled @ etsy)

In honor of Sixteen Candles, the movie that made every unpopular teenage girl believe, if only for a second, that she actually had a shot with the hottest boy in school. Oh, and Jake...you still rock my world! (Limited-Edition Sixteen Candles Canvas Print by elloh @ etsy)
