Does anyone like this one more than the Brat Pack movies?


John Hughes is best known for the Brat Pack films, but I could never get into them... This one, however, is one of my top favorites. I think it is very sweet, and I will always have a crush on Mary Stuart Masterson.

Hail to the king, baby.

i don’t separate this film from the “brat pack films”. i think the brat pack is subjective in a way. it’s a shermer high school film like the other 5

Some Kind of Wonderful was filmed in the summer of 1986 in San Pedro, CA, at the real-life San Pedro High School. In the film, they show the name of the school where the action takes place as "San Pablo High School" by changing 3 letters on the actual sign above the real school's main entrance.

I recognize that many John Hughes films took place at a "Shermer High School" and were filmed in Illinois. Some Kind of Wonderful is not one of them.

i’m still going to consider it shermer though because hughes stated all films he wrote are shermer related.
