Pretty in Pink is just about my favorite 80s movie - and, that is really saying something since I LOVE 80s movies. But, PinP had it all - the soundtrack, Andrew McCarthy - the whole package.
I am SO glad that they re-wrote the ending to have Andie get together with Blane at the end instead of having her end up with Duckie. Don't get me wrong - I love Duckie, but it would have ruined the love story.

Good tidbit about the movie, Alli. Duckie ending up with her would have ruined it fer sure. Thanks for checking in!
