I love me some Pretty in Pink! Remember when that girl shook her dandruff out of her hair to create snow on her homework? Well this isn’t that movie. Remember when that guy fell in love with a mannequin? Nope not that movie either. This movie is the one with the lovable, adorable Duckie. Where the girl wants the guy but thinks shes too good for the guy. Yep -- this is that movie!

But their big plans for the senior prom ultimately fall apart when Blane heeds his friend Steff’s (James Spader) warning to “quit slumming.” Will Blane find the courage to claim what he really wants and give up the so-called friends he doesn’t need?

This classic 1980s teen film from the master of the genre, writer-producer John Hughes features plenty of great ’80s pop tunes from the Psychedelic Furs, The Smiths, Echo and The Bunnymen, New Order, and more. The continued success of Hughes’ films and actors ushered in the era of the “brat pack” and teen films as pop culture.
