The 1984 John Hughes' coming-of-age comedy classic is coming to high-definition this fall!
In an early announcement to retailers, Universal Studios is preparing 'Sixteen Candles' for Blu-ray on September 4.
It's Samantha Baker's Sweet Sixteen and no one in her family remembers the important occasion. John Hughes, the writer of National Lampoon's Vacation, shows how coming-of-age can be full of surprises in this warm hearted teenage comedy starring Molly Ringwald.
She's your average teen, enduring creepy freshmen, spoiled siblings, confused parents and the Big Blonde on Campus who stands between her and the boy of her dreams. But wait...the day isn't over yet! This sparkling film features a dynamic score, and outstanding performances by Paul Dooley, Emmy winner Blanche Baker and Oscar nominee Justin Henry.
The Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack will feature1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Celebrating Sixteen Candles, The '80s, and Unforgettable Characters.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $19.98.
