Favorite Movies and Books
In continuing with my favorite movies and books theme, the movie <strong>Pretty in Pink </strong>is another favorite.
As in <strong>The Outsiders</strong>, the story is told of teens divided by social status, trying to become friends with each other, without losing their current circle.
<strong>Pretty in Pink </strong>was released February 28, 1986, written by John Hughes and included such stars as Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Annie Potts, James Spader and Andrew McCarthy. Under John Hughes some of these actors became household names in the 80’s as the “Brat Pack” took hold.
Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) had really cool fashion sense, inspiring many an outfit among me and my friends. The soundtrack had songs like, “Pretty in Pink” by The Psychedelic Furs and “If You Leave” by Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark. Cool clothes, great music and a timeless storyline about friends trying to find their place amongst each other… makes for a great movie that I still watch today when it comes on TV.
