Crotch Shots

Having viewed in succession The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Weird Science, which Andrew and Jess got me in a three-pack DVD set for my birthday, I can state that it’s not only easier to bask in the magic of Anthony Michael Hall, but to realize one of director John Hughes’ key cinematic themes: the crotch shot.

Here we have the crotch of Molly Ringwald (or a crotch double) from The Breakfast Club:

Here’s the crotch of Haviland Morris (who plays Jake’s girlfriend, Caroline) in Sixteen Candles:

Weird Science doesn’t have what I’d consider a true crotch shot, so I’ll just have to go with this one of Kelly LeBrock’s midsection. Close enough.
