The two actresses celebrated the 30-year anniversary of the film at a special South by Southwest screening back in early 2015. Both Sheedy, 60, and Ringwald talked to PEOPLE about the film's anniversary. "The movie has this message that in spite of people's differences, there is something unifying in the experience of growing up and trying to find yourself," Sheedy said. "I think things are much more complicated and much more difficult right now than they were in the world of Shermer High School. It's a different world."

Ringwald added, "It's surreal. I don't know how this happened. I was really loving the work that I was doing. [Director] John [Hughes] and I had a symbiotic, respectful relationship. I didn't know I'd be talking about it 30 years later! But it was a great experience."

It was a very special family," she said. "I didn't have a group like that when I was in high school at all. It was a really happy time in my life."
