Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)

I hadn't seen SKoW before, but it felt very familiar. It turns out it's a retelling of Pretty in Pink (1986) with some gender roles reversed. (Thanks, Wiki.).
In this version the love-struck youth is Keith (Eric Stoltz), an eighteen-year-old working class student who falls for Amanda (Lea Thompson), a high-schooler with a self-important attitude that's encouraged by her middle class friends.
It wears its 80s heart on its sleeve, but has weak leads and a final third that's some kind of boring. The only memorable youths were Keith's tomboy friend Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson), who resides on the sidelines, overlooked and underappreciated, and the bullying skinhead played by Elias Koteas.
