Pretty in Pink [DVD]

Somehow escaped the eighties without having seen this. Rectified!

Love this movie. One of my favorites from when I was a kid. The teen challenges and angst are still present, maybe vie different deliveries but still. I love it.

Great movie

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.

Great film quality,

This is a very cute movie - it's a classic from my high school years, and I was excited to watch it with my daughter. I didn't expect the video quality to be perfect, but while it started out fine, it got very pixelated after a time. When I paused to see if the movie would adjust and fix itself, at first it just circled and buffered, and then I had to back out when the buffering seemed to be stuck. When I went back in, I got the message there was an error and it couldn't play. When I got back into the movie, the quality was slightly pixelated but not as badly, but it took a while to sort itself out. Amazon should do better.

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

Un plaisir de le revoir!

Sehr schöner Film

Una de las mejores películas de los 80. El DVD se ve bien, aunque se echa en falta extras. Ojalá una edición en Bluray en condiciones.

A film very much of its time yet seems to be of every time.All the cast are excellent...... bringing the story of youth with its yearning for acceptance whilst sstruggling for individuality to life. It also cleverly mirrors the cruelty and joys of that age with precision.Definately worth viewing.
