Friday & Saturday November 20 & 21:  Pretty in Pink.

PRETTY IN PINK (PG13)
1 hrs, 36 mins
RELEASE: 02/28/1986
CAST: Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, Annie Potts, Harry Dean Stanton, James Spader
DIRECTOR: Howard Deutch

Molly Ringwald dresses up to the ’80s max as Andie, the poor high school “zoid” who falls hard for rich rebel Blane (Andrew McCarthy) after he asks her to the prom.

But as fast as their romance builds, it’s threatened by the painful reality of peer pressure.

Meanwhile Duckie (the wonderfully manic Jon Cryer, “Two and a Half Men”) pines for her on the sidelines.

Great soundtrack includes music by OMD, The Psychedelic Furs and more.

Harry Dean Stanton and James Spader co-star. Written by John Hughes (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club) and directed by Howard Deutch (Some Kind of Wonderful, The Replacements).
