James Spader is the only reason to even watch this movie. He steals every scene he is in. Gorgeous and brilliant. It's hard to believe he is basically the complete opposite of the character he plays. He has completely gaslit all of us throughout his entire career and I love it.1
The crazy thing is steff is the character that I was most interested in. He actually really doesn't care about money & he had a crush on andi so ironically if she gave him a chance he would not care what anyone thinks about him dating her. He likes her bc she us different from all the snobby rich air head bimbos. All the venom he spews to his friend Blaine who gets the girl is obviously out of pure jealousy. He uses her being poor as an angle to peer pressure Blaine out of being with her. Steff is very perceptive for a high school senior & even goes to " what would your parents thing " as he knows they would freak. So Blaine dumping her at one point bc of peer pressure actually makes him weaker than steff bc steff says he liked her for 4 years & did not care if anyone said a thing about it including his Rich parents. Even when molly turned him down again & insulted him pretty good he never went to an insult back about her being poor or trash he just calls her a bitch which has no bearing on ur economic status. He did not care about money but knew Blaine worried about it. He seems embarrassed by andi in front of his freinds. The movies ending was blaine never goes back to her. So ironically he is more of a coward than steff. Steff obviously sees none of those things he said in jealousy about Andi bc he asked her out for 4 years !
You nailed it. I was 16 when this movie came out. He always wanted Andi because she was unique , not bimbos like the rest, but she turned him down throughout high school. That's why calling her "bitch" instead of " poor trash" transparently meant he was upset with her rejection. He himself thought she was special. It was jealousy when his best friend got her, so he tried to sabatoge it like a king manipulator. James Spader just layered this character perfectly. Our favorite 80's bad-boy.
@@k_a_y_l_e_e thanks. That's why I actually did not want her w/ Blaine nor duckie. Maybe her just going alone & being an independent brave girl. Duckie was just as hung up on money too. Blaine was a wussy & he finally goes for andi when its prom & school is over. Blaine did not deserve andi bc he was a coward & maybe if he was smart enough he would have figured out long b4 he did that spader wanted her all along. The original ending as I assume everyone knows is that andi did not end up w/ blaine & test audiences hated that. So andrew looks awful in the re shot version bc he lost a ton of weight & shaved his head for a play so they put him in an awful wig. Spader was my favorite character bc he didnt care about money & said to blaine " u think I'd treat my parents house like this of I cared about money " & I don't know if andi rejected him over & over bc she thought he would hit & quit it but I highly doubt it if he went after her for 4 years & was so jealous that she liked blaine that he played him like a violin. It would have been so interesting to see steff w/ andi bc I'd love to see his non giving a $hit attitude to his friends & parents. So if u think about it steff is the best character in the film as he is the only one who doesnt bend to peer pressure & liked Andi & didnt give a damn what anyone said. Spader steals this film
wow real nice real good thank a lot to all the cast of pretty in pink. i remember my high school life my friends & JS Prom!! & also the WXB 102 station. we miss you!! your the Great Movie "PIP" that dares to be different...........
I hate to ask a really stupid question...but did people really dress that interestingly in school in that time? Thats kind of amazing, its tough to wear linen that well.
james spader's character was such an asshole in this film, it really came across. i've just realised how he is really the person he's playing in every character he does. great actor to have such an impact!
aww... i luv this! well... i kinda sorta wasn't ready to see them all grown up yet... haha ... but besides that, I absolutely love this film! and jus wanted to comment and say this is so cool and didn't even know they had a 25th anniversary DVD. will get! thanx
No he mentioned in an interview that it kind of passed him by. As did the movie (in the sense that he doesn't take himself and his job too seriously). Btw sorry for the late reply :)
Stargate was one of the least memorable and worst roles they ever gave him, but i was actually quite impressed by his ability to learn how to speak Egyptian.
John doing a little buggar sugar lmfao! And "witch" would make him seem gay? So glad times are changing. What a ridiculous statement. Either way, I loved the movie (except that Bennie calls Blaine the F word in that scene but glad they took it out for the reruns).
i always wish he had a bigger role in this film. i love his snottiness.
Spader was,is and always will be the best part of this movie and is hot as hell.
...in his younger days...
When he had LOTS of THICK Hair.

James Spader, hands down, best part of this movie. And that's really saying something considering it's a John Hughes film.

I love James Spader!

james spader loved and hated him in his movies ♥
i got caught up in his hotness and forgot to mention he is a great actor... love Boston Legal :)
James spader has the most perfect nose.
Very attractive man in his youth
Love it...
so true, i just laugh so much with the "you're a witch" thing LOL
Love this one!!! :)
I hate to ask a really stupid question...but did people really dress that interestingly in school in that time? Thats kind of amazing, its tough to wear linen that well.
Seems like prior generations dressed up more. My grandmother used to wear white gloves when leaving the house!
LOVE JAMES SPADER. TOTAL PANTY DROPPER.
They didn't notice that he is gorgeous?
After watching Andrew McCarthy's doc Brats. I think this is what everyone wanted more of.
What was going on behind the scenes. We wanted to relive it.
Perfection.
allright! i will pick this dvd up, but I've been really poor. THANK you so much for posting these!
god, love the cast, this movie, everything!
thanks so much for uploading!
james spader's character was such an asshole in this film, it really came across. i've just realised how he is really the person he's playing in every character he does.
great actor to have such an impact!
He's actually not that person at all. When you see him in interviews he is so humble and unassuming. Has no clue how gorgeous he was.
aww... i luv this! well... i kinda sorta wasn't ready to see them all grown up yet... haha ... but besides that, I absolutely love this film! and jus wanted to comment and say this is so cool and didn't even know they had a 25th anniversary DVD. will get! thanx
Spader went to Phillips Academy - Andover, with JFK Jr. He stated that he knew a lot of "Stefs" at his preparatory school.
lol I’ll bet
No he mentioned in an interview that it kind of passed him by. As did the movie (in the sense that he doesn't take himself and his job too seriously). Btw sorry for the late reply :)
Jon Cryer is the cutest!
Marlboro Lights 100's 😎😎
Hard to believe Steff would have wanted to date Molly's character. She's standing there in a hat and glasses looking like an old woman.
I don't see what the big deal was with Steff, he had that fuckin' fine-ass Benny on his arm that beckoned to his every call and action...
Jon Cryer is fucking funny.
Stargate was one of the least memorable and worst roles they ever gave him, but i was actually quite impressed by his ability to learn how to speak Egyptian.
I love James in Stargate
do you have more clips about this special? @prettyinpinktoo
What is that gesture? Anyone care to explain?
James Spader is the only good looking actor in this movie.....everyone is like nehhh...
@madnafk ..Hey..Don't be a Hater! The DUCK MAN IS AWESOME!! And So Is Jon Cryer!
AQctually, Andy's shaving his har off had to do with a stage play he was staring in...
John doing a little buggar sugar lmfao! And "witch" would make him seem gay? So glad times are changing. What a ridiculous statement. Either way, I loved the movie (except that Bennie calls Blaine the F word in that scene but glad they took it out for the reruns).
@blm9276 In an interview, he mentioned in some scenes (and I think especially the prom scene) he wears a wig. As dictated by set stylists...
James Spader HAD Hair????
I wanna who the couple dancing in their underwear at that party was. That'd be a cool claim-to-fame huh?
No.
Not really. Just the inevitable progress of time. Better get used to it. Might save you a lot of agony.
Damn the cast is full of wrinkles.
Depressing.
