Pretty in Pink [VHS]

I watched again after seeing the Brats documentary. It holds up pretty well, even though I will never understand how she could choose Bland Blaine over Dapper Duckie. Annie Potts is great in this movie. She's generally underrated. Fun nostalgia if you can get past Duckie's obsessive stalking and Blaine's lack of discernible personality, or, for that matter, the ugliest prom dress you'll ever set eyes on.

I love all 1980s movies Molly was amazing in this movie ❤️❤️❤️

Love this

I have just pre-ordered this DVD, so I am reviewing the contents of the movie that I saw about 20 years ago (and have seen about 30 times on late night t.v. since then) - I'll review how well the DVD was done once I get it. But, I just couldn't resist adding this to my Listmania list of "my favorite movies"!!!I experienced my "teen years" during the mid 1980's, so of course I saw EVERY ONE of the Molly Ringwald movies when they came out - and I LOVED every single one!!!I often wonder what ever became of her - as she had quite a string of hit movies, and then just disappeared from the radar. I honestly hope to see her again some day, as I always thought she was a really good actress...Anyway, "Pretty in Pink" is about a teenage girl living during the 1980's (you can tell by the "great" style of clothes) on the "wrong side of the tracks". She lived with her father, who simply did not like to work, as her mother had left them some years earlier.She spends most of her time with her best friend "Ducky" - who's a really great guy, also from a "working class" family. However, there are 2 REALLY rich, good looking guys who seem to be interested in her. 1 of them is a MAJOR jerk, and all he ever cares about is "one thing" (I'm sure you know what I mean), so she consistently turns him down - which makes him EXTREMELY "pissed off". The 2nd guy seems to be a pretty nice guy, and she becomes enamored of him.Well, the "nice guy" finally asks her out & she says yes - only to be treated like trash by his friends. But, they try to continue dating & he eventually asks her to the prom - & she says yes.Will he show up? Will she be forced to go alone? Who will she end up with - Ducky or the rich guy??? I don't want to ruin it for you in case you never saw the movie, but suffice it to say that you will ALWAYS remember the ending to this movie!!! (I don't know of anyone who doesn't, and many of them last saw it about 20 years ago!!!).I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys teenage romance movies in general, or the Molly Ringwald gang in particular. This is a great movie, and much of it will still make sense to today's teens. In fact, if you grew up in the 80's, your kids might be around that age now, so you could watch it together - a family movie night...

I liked it.

CLASSIC.

4.5 stars for this release, I am sorry they didn't have the actual orginal ending as it seems to say it does on the packaging, bod form DVD producers.BUT I am NOT one of those rabid Duckie fanatics that seem to think that even though Andie and Duckie had NO chemistry that they belonged together. Obviously she loved him as a brother not a potential love interest to do a 180 at least in this film just wouldn't work! If you want that ending go see Some Kind of Wonderful that has that ending AND the two leads have the obvious chemistry AND the story supports the change!People people people, the entire film is supposed to be about the fact that the labels folks put on you are wrong and that no matter what side of the tracks you live on you can still be a good person.But all I hear is complaints about how Duckie didn't get the girl. Well folks I've never in the twenty years that I have adored this film thought he should have and am glad they have not done a Lucas and changed the film to reflect that. I would have like to have seen the scene however and that is why this DVD gets 4.5 stars instead of 5.

Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) is a kid from the wrong side of the tracks. She's a self-confident high-school senior who dresses in handmade clothes, works in a record store, and lives in a modest home with her unemployed father (Harry Dean Stanton). Times are tough for Andie in school, where she and her friends are tormented by the wealthy students who make up the majority of the student body, and where her worst fear is that she won't get invited to the senior prom. Her best friend, "Duckie" (Jon Cryer), talks matter-of-factly with her father about marrying Andie, but he never thinks of taking her to the prom--a social event that most of the poor kids avoid. To her surprise, she is asked to go to the dance by the charming Blaine (Andrew McCarthy), who's not as snobbish as the rest of his elitist friends. As in all of John Hughes's films, PRETTY IN PINK touches a chord with today's teens (as well as anyone who has been that age), but at the same time seems to pander somewhat to the audience's expectations. Interestingly, however, the finest moments in PRETTY IN PINK come not from the script by Hughes, but from Howard Deutch's careful direction. While the script contains trite and unbelievable dialogue, the superbly convincing performances make up for these faults

Been wanting this movie for awhile just couldnt find it, I love that it came in a pink bag. Nice touch 😊

Wer in den 80er-Jahren aufgewachsen ist und gerne eine Zeitreise in die Vergangenheit macht, liegt bei dem Film richtig. Typischer 80er-Jahre Jugendfilm.

Si vous souhaitez replonger dans l'univers des années 80, optez pour les films de John Hughes.Dans Pretty in Pink, une adolescente de la classe ouvrière tombe amoureuse d'un autre élève, issu d'une riche famille du coin. Alors oui, le scénario n'a rien d'original et vous saurez dès le début comment finit le film. Mais avec quelques bonnes copines et un peu de pop-corn, vous passerez un moment très agréable en compagnie de Molly Ringwald.
