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.
SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL WATTS 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.

Married since 1989, the two are parents to actresses Madelyn and Zoey Deutch.
SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL WATTS SERIES
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. 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.
