I have fond memories of this movie because my husband proposed after we watched it.

Half the fun of watching Greek is trying to catch the references.
That's what I thought of when I heard that. That was a great movie and I'm glad AMC plays it every now and then. Matthew Broderick was so young!

I think I have crush on Max. He's so dreamy. ETA: Now I know why I think he's so dreamy. I didn't know he was Alexis Bledel's love interest in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series!
