 | 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... |

| Availability: This item will be released on August 9, 2005. You may order it now and we will ship it to you when it arrives.
Okay this and The Breakfast Club are two of my all time favorite movies and of course I own them on DVD. One thing I can't figure out is why does it say it's not yet released? It doesn't say Special Edition on the cover nor does it say it contains special features. Can someone please explain this to me? |

| Ok so I wanted to clear some things up here because I've seen pretty in pink a thousand times and many of you are confused about steph. You asked why does steph chase molly ringwald if he despises people who arent richie countryclub snot teens like him. Because although he is a snob he wanted molly ringwald. Remember at the beginning when he approached her at her car and said I'VE LIKED YOU FOR YEARS HOW COME WE NEVER WENT OUT" And then blane comes along and dates her. Steph gives him a hard time because she rejected him and went for his best friend. Wouldn't you be upset? And at the end, blane said to steph, she thinks your sh*t and deep down you know she's right. You buy everything and you couldnt buy her that's why you're upset. And after steph's party when he threatened to end his friendship with blane if he continued dating ringwald and said that if money was even an issue would he treat his parents house like that. He was telling the truth. It had nothing to do with ringwald being on the other side of the tracks, it was because he liked her and she didnt feel the same, and blane ended up with her. Next, even though it does sound confusing that duckie cant get into a club with andy (ringwald) when he fell behind in high school you'd think that would make him older than her, but it depends on how early you started pre-school or if you went straight to kindergarden. Some seniors are 16 years old but most are 18, and some are 17. But it's just a movie. Any other questions. Don't pay attention to the questionaire guy that's his opinion nothing more. I had no idea andy's best friend (the blonde) died during the making of pretty in pink, so it never occured to me as being strange when suddenly the store clerk lady became andy's new best friend, i just thought she had more than one friend. So they did a nice job of covering that gap up. And that's a sad thing that she died young and beautiful. |

| I am a huge fan of the 80's and this movie is really one of the reasons why! This movie includes so many great scenes and such great acting, I don't know how anyone coudln't love it! Molly Ringwald shows off her witty attitude in this fun flick. Anyone can watch it and have a great time, laughing and crying at this beautiful story about a sweet, poor girl and handsome, rich guy.
YOu can never get tired of this movie, because each time you watch it the more fun it is. Andie is a poor girl who is really a truly amzing person inside, but she has feelings and emotions like everyone else. She and a handsome guy who goes to her school and has a lot more money than she does show off their impressive, fun, and totally 80's story. This movie is overall perfect for anyone! |
