To answer this question I'm going to put the original actors/characters, a dash and the archetype of today. Actresses and actors... I'm not so sure of at the mo.
Ally Sheedy/Alison- Goth girl, with a little more attitude than Alison
Jud Nelson/ John Bender- a gangster rapper type kid
Molly Ringwald/Claire- that archetype never dies, but maybe she's black.
Emilio Estevez/Andrew- Another archetype that never dies, again, unfortunately, but instead of being a wrestler, he's into marshal arts.
Anthony Micheal Hall/Bryan- Instead of being really good at mathematics, he's a mad computer dude.
Let's keep Vernon as the same kind of guy only played by someone you wouldn't expect. The only example I could come up with is Chow yun Fat. Don't ask me why.
