great moments for candles in cinematic history

The 80s were a beautiful time, weren't they? Stirrup pants, off-the-shoulder sweatshirts, and pretty much some of the greatest movies ever. This was the decade that gave us Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Goonies, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off (personal favorite). But the greatest one, my friends, the movie where candles and the brilliance that was the 80s meet, that is what we shall celebrate today.

Sixteen Candles is the 80s at its finest. Tons of teenage love angst, tons of drunkenness, tons of ridiculous outfits, tons of great 80s songs, and it all ends with a birthday cake topped with CANDLES (a grand finale of sorts for a fantastic movie).

I've posted the trailer for the movie below (which is absolutely hysterical and incredibly awkward). Make sure to enjoy and savor the candle scene at the end.
