Pretty in Pink's ambience always felt like a bridge between John Hughes's earlier films and Cameron Crowe's later films to me. Glad you mentioned Say Anything, I definitely noticed their similar aspect as well. Great movies.
My parents took me to see this when I was 8 years old, at my insistent urging. The line was around the block of the movie theater, all 16 year old girls with AquaNetted hair and big earrings, all talking fast & over each other like how I would be about 8 years later. It's been my favorite 80s movie to this day. LOVE IT. First time I would have ever seen Harry Dean Stanton onscreen and I've adored him ever since (no matter the role he plays and that man's been in a TON of movies). Of course I would not have caught any Jane references or themes back then but now I see it!
Great review. The Austen references are spot on. Keep up the great work!
I think Pretty In Pink is the one Hughes/80's/Ringwald/Bratpack/Teen movie that has/will stood the test of time. I know a lot of people for whom this is one of their very favorite films. Maybe because it's basically Cinderella? That story has had legs!
“The dialogue is alive and well” 🤣
just watched this move for the first time. it does feel pretty timeless, yet also at times has has a retro cyberpunk vibe. what are your thoughts on girl interrupted? would love to see a review on that!
Best Movie ever ❤❤❤
Glad I subscribed. Love all of your vids and am learning a lot.
thank you!
My daughter had a crush on the Ducky character.
Ducky was afraid of the future and immature which made him a poor choice as a love interest as she could plainly see with her father - although they were both kind hearted.
I always remember MR's line about the people in the beautiful houses not appreciating them. She was criticizing ingratitude - not wealth. They don't make many movies today that give respect to middle class aspirations. A healthy culture aspires to greater things. Even her beatnik record store friend at the end finds a wholesome man with whom to potentially settle down. Would love to see you review the Whit Stillman trilogy of movies. Subscribed.
It's such a sweet and fun movie.
To me it's 8, maybe even 9 out of 10.
I've seen some people ctiricising the very ending, for Andie not choosing Duckie.
To those I highy recommend Some Kind Of Wonderful, the second John Hughes and Howard Deutch movie, which is sort of a gender swap Pretty In Pink.
It's very good as well :)
