History YMMV / PeggySueGotMarried

** Peggy Sue warns her little sister not to eat the red M&M's or she'll get sick. The movie was released during the decade-long period when red M&M's were discontinued due to a health scare involving red dye (Red M&M's didn't actually use the dye in question). For the audience of 1986, it was the presence of red M&M's which was dated, but now it's the concern over red M&M's which seems dated.
** "For some reason everything else gets tiny, but portable radios get enormous". Of course, she's referring to boomboxes, which are now seen as a fad of TheEighties.

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/KevinJOConnor plays a guy who hates Creator/ErnestHemingway in his film debut. Two years later he played Hemingway in ''The Moderns''.

* TearJerker:
** When Peggy gets a call from her grandmother. Anyone who's lost a grandparent will understand her HeroicBSOD and inability to talk to her.
** Charlie's anguished "Did we break up" speech?
--->'''Charlie:''' I want to know what's going on. Delores told me about you and that scuzzball Michael Fitzsimmons. When you dropped me off last night I didn't feel like going to bed... Then it's true, damn it! I had a miserable time tonight because of you. When the Monotones did Book of Love: "Chapter four, you break up Won't you give it one more chance?" I'm thinking, "Did we break up?" Did we break up? Because if we did ''I don't even know about it''. Did that Maynard G. Beatnik give you what you wanted?

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: After Peggy Sue returns from her time travels, Charlie said he would cut his right arm off for another chance to reconcile with her. Ronny, Creator/NicolasCage's character in ''Film/{{Moonstruck}}'', is missing a hand due to an accident at the bakery after his fiancée dumped him.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Walter, played by Creator/JimCarrey. Surprisingly a naunced role, because despite being a wild and crazy guy ("Whatever Walter wants, Walter Getz!"), he's a fucked up guy in the 1980's who is hooked on cocaine.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Arguably, the film is now better known than the Music/BuddyHolly song it's titled after. Not that the film's storyline has much to do with the song other than featuring a character named Peggy Sue who gets married at some point.

* SpecialEffectFailure: The opening shot through the mirror uses body doubles, and it's done well enough that if you aren't looking you won't notice the "reflection" being out of sync - but is jarring when you do.
