The the second film in our 80s teen comedies pairing, we turn to an early appearance of the actor who would go on to become a sex symbol on "Grey's Anatomy," Patrick Dempsey! In 1987's "Can't Buy Me Love," directed by Steve Rash, Dempsey plays Ronald Miller, a geek with aspirations to join the popular crowd. When his next-door neighbor (and long-time crush) Cindy Mancini (Amanda Peterson) ruins her mother's suede outfit (which she was wearing without permission), Ronald seizes the opportunity to make a deal with her: In exchange for spending $1000 on a new suede outfit to replace the ruined one, Cindy has to pretend to be Ronald's girlfriend for a month. He believes this will catapult him into the popular crowd. Cindy agrees and the experiment begins, with Ronald gaining in popularity and Cindy coming to see who he really is... and liking what she sees. Of course, the movie has several twists as most teen comedies do, and a couple moral lessons thrown in for good measure, but everything works out for the best by the end. The film also stars Courtney Gains, Tina Caspary, Seth Green, Darcy DeMoss, Devin DeVasquez, Eric Bruskotter, and Ami Dolenz! Plus, the guys unveil a classic sci-fi pairing over half a century in the making!
