You both have worked more or less continuously in films and television since 1987. Maybe because it's two girls fighting over a guy? Or because it's about a guy trying to find himself? I also hear from a lot of gay women who love Watts. I also hear from more men than women who love it, but I can't tell you why.

I just asked on Instagram and Twitter about everyone's favorite line from the movie and was amazed how many people have so many different memories of it. Yet it seems to have a broad base around the world that are really touched by it and quote it. Lea Thompson: It wasn't a bomb, but definitely a disappointment. It's not like they're saying, 'Have you ever seen this little movie, 'Back to the Future?' They don't talk about 'Some Kind of Wonderful' as completely unknown or an underdog but they cherish it because it hadn't been this massive hit movie. Most people talk about it like I talk about a movie I didn't direct and I don't think the other person has heard of. But it's a meaningful movie to people and I met my wife on set so it's a meaningful movie to me. Which is ironic because it wasn't considered a hit when it came out. Here in the present, how often does 'Some Kind of Wonderful' come up for each of you? Salon spoke to both Deutch and Thompson by phone about how 'Some Kind of Wonderful' sprang them both from 'movie jail,' John Hughes' skill at writing female characters, and the film's most difficult kiss.

Deutch, who also directed the Hughes-scripted 'The Great Outdoors' and more recently episodes of 'Big Love' and 'Jane the Virgin,' has a development deal at HBO and is scheduled to direct for the network's upcoming comedy series 'Barry,' starring Bill Hader. Thompson, a veteran of more than 40 films and the NBC sitcom 'Caroline in the City ,' can currently be seen on Freeform's (formally ABC Family) 'Switched at Birth,' now in its fifth season. ' Recent fair-minded portraits of young people and the uncertain boundaries of friendship and love - 'Juno,' 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower,' ' The Edge of Seventeen' - can legitimately be called its nieces and nephews. Yet it endures as a late-arrival classic that holds its own among its better known Hughes siblings from the era, like ' The Breakfast Club' and ' Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Unfairly branded as a gender-reversal retread of ' Pretty in Pink,' a Hughes/Deutch collaboration from the year before, 'Some Kind of Wonderful' was not a box office hit upon its release at the end of February 1987. Friends With Benefits Friends start hooking up, eventually fall in love-part two.This month marks the 30th anniversaries of both the release of 'Some Kind of Wonderful ,' the last teen movie written by the genres' 1980s svengali John Hughes, and the relationship between the film's director Howard Deutch and star Lea Thompson, who met on set and began dating around the time of the 'Wonderful' premiere. He's Just Not That Into You 'I'm the exception.' 'You're my exception.' No Strings Attached Friends start hooking up, eventually fall in love-part one. Drive Me Crazy Rule number one in teen movies: If you're 'faking' a relationship with your best friend to make somebody else jealous, you're gonna fall in love. Obviously, hilarity (as well as feelings) ensues.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno Two longtime-platonic-friends and roommates decide to make an adult film to solve their money problems. Here are 15 more: Just Friends This is one of my favorite rom-coms of all time-mostly thanks to Anna Faris-but it shows the problems that happen from getting friend zoned.

But this isn't the first time movies have (spoiler!) featured friends falling in love (nor, I'm sure, will it be the last). The movie focuses on that age-old 'Can men and women really be just friends?' question and has been compared to a modern-day When Harry Met Sally.
