I have seen 18 of the Patrick Dempsey movies listed above. I have only seen one in theaters…and that would be Enchanted. For almost 40 years, I have always thought….”He’s the kid from Can’t Buy Me Love”. My favorites would be Heaven Help Us (though I do not remember his part), Outbreak (he was the guy that got the disease going), Can’t Buy Me Love (one of the best teen movies…especially in the 1980s). and Flypaper (a very underrated movie…and one on my list to re-watch in the near future).
