Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)


A young tomboy, Watts, finds her feelings for her best friend, Keith, run deeper than just friendship when he gets a date with the most popular girl in school. Unfortunately, the girl's old boyfriend, who is from the rich section of town, is unable to let go of her, and plans to get back at Keith.[/CENTER]

Eric Stoltz .... Keith Nelson
Mary Stuart Masterson .... Watts
Lea Thompson .... Amanda Jones
Craig Sheffer .... Hardy Jenns
John Ashton .... Cliff Nelson
Elias Koteas .... Duncan
Molly Hagan .... Shayne
Maddie Corman .... Laura Nelson

Duncan: [walking into Hardy's party] It must be a hen house, because all I see is chicken ****.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watts: Get your skag and let's go.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duncan: I'm here to kick your ass, and you know it, and everybody here knows it, and above all, you deserve it. In fact, I think it's safe to say that this party is about to become a historical fact.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keith: Well, I like art, I work in a gas station, my best friend is a tomboy. These things don't fly too well in the American high school.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amanda Jones: I'd rather be with someone for the wrong reasons then alone for the right.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watts: It's better to swallow pride than blood.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watts: I bet my hands on it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watts: You couldn't score her in a million years. A, you're too shy and closed up to even approach her, and B, she'd kill you!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watts: [putting on Keith's diamond earrings] What do you think?
Keith: You look good wearing my future.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keith Nelson: You can't tell a book by its cover.
Watts: No, but you can tell how much it's gonna cost you.
Keith Nelson: Wow, I never knew you were so deep.
Watts: You want shallow, call Amanda Jones.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watts: It must be a drag to be a slave to the male sex drive.
Keith: It's not just sex.
Watts: Oh, you want to start a book club with her?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watts: Don't go mistaking paradise for a pair of long legs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[In the locker room]
Girl: I've just never seen a girl wearing boys underpants before.
Watts: Have you ever seen a girl with a drumstick shoved up her nose?
Girl: Oh, is that some kind of a threat?
Watts: It's some kind of a warning.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keith Nelson: I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was so hard on you.
Watts: Me too.
Keith Nelson: You always hurt the ones you love.
Watts: So when are you going to beat the **** out of Amanda Jones?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watts: You break his heart, I break your face.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laura Nelson: Any fool can get into college. Only a select few can say the same about Amanda Jones.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duncan: This is what my girlfriend would look like without skin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carparker: To win big you gotta do what?
Carparkers: Lose.
Carparker: Lose big. What are we doing now?
All: We're losing big.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watts: Keith... you're losing it. And when it's lost, all you are is a loser.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amanda Jones: I hate feeling ashamed. I hate where I'm from. I hate watching my friends get everything their hearts desire. I gave into that hatred and I turned on what I believed in. I didn't have to. You didn't.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duncan: I think it's safe to say that this party is about to become a historical fact.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray: See, a lot of guys I know think that you're... confused. But I know it's just an act. Wanna know how I know?
Watts: Enlighten me.
Ray: Because you radiate this sexual vibe and I know that if you wanted, you could be a girl
[snaps fingers]
Ray: like that.
Watts: Ray, this is 1987. Did you know a girl can be whatever she wants to be?
Ray: I know. My mom's a plumber.
Watts: That explains a lot about you, Ray.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray: So you gotta hang around for an hour?
Watts: If I feel like it.
Ray: You know how much damage we could do to each other in an hour?
Watts: It's kind of a revolting thought, actually.
Ray: Really? What's revolting mean?
Watts: Oh, God. Get your hands off me, man.
Ray: Does that mean you wanna come over?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duncan: We're gonna bring this party up to a nice respectable level. Don't worry, we're not gonna hurt anyone. We're not even gonna touch 'em. We're just gonna make 'em cry a little, just by lookin' at 'em.

I had heard of this movie once or twice and then it was on HBO last week. I watched it and really loved it! I can't remember the exact wording of it, but the quote about being with the wrong person for right reasons or something like that, I love that quote and scene where Keith realizes he loves Watts.
They made such a great couple. It's so sweet when she thought he needed help kissing and he makes her blush! Then later the end when he flashes back to it. Awww.

Yes I really love this movie and I've only seen it once! Thanks for starting this thread.

Aw yay, Im glad that Im not the only one. I actually watched this movie on HBO last night as well But I have seen it a few times before. I love all those scenes as well and the part at the ending when he says.

" You know you were going to get those, didnt you?"
" Yeah, how do they look on me"
" They look nice on you for wearing my future"

Or something along those lines

Yeah those lines are great! It's like Watts knew how he felt and he knew she knew.

great pics! I like the fact that the really tough punk guy ended up being cool and helping Keith.
And yeah, his sudden reaction like woah! I love my best friend.

Yeah! He said they weren't even gonna hurt them, they're just gonna scare them by looking at them. It's funny too when Keith purposely tries to get dentention to be near "Ms. Amanda Jones" and she ends up talking her way out of it. hehe And his youngest sister is so smart and cute!

She was cute, at first a bit annoying but it was nice of her to tell her brother what was going to happen to him if he went to that party.

I bought my own copy of this movie and I'm glad I did. It's still as good as the first time I saw it.

I love this movie, I laugh everytime at the scenes with Keith and his sister. Great music and it's just a masterpiece from the 80s.
