Pretty in Pink

[May Kasahara]

Just watching the bit wear she designs the dress...... I remember trying to design my own clothes after watching this

The thing I love about that sequence is that you see her puzzling it out, mulling it over...drawing a straight up and down triangular tube dress and you think 'now I know the final dress isn't going to end up looking like that, it's going to look a-may-zing', and then when she rocks up to the prom she's wearing a straight up and down pink bag and you just go 'WTF?'

I once spent a very wet and windy saturday afternoon in cinema 4 at Blackpool's cinema's 1,2,3,4 (used to be by North Pier) watching a double bill of Ferris Bueller and Pretty in Pink - I was the only person in there, it was ace

Heaven

Oh dear. I've never seen this film. I spent alot of 1986 watching films here: http://www.ica.org.uk/?lid=4187 and at the Renoir which had just reopened.

I know all sorts of trivia too, the most recent bit of trivia I discovered is that the line in Ferris Bueller's Day Off where Ferris is talking about Cameron's home life, his house being very clean and him not being allowed to touch anything was originally written for Molly Ringwald's character in The Breakfast Club. She was supposed to say something like that about her own home whilst she was talking about her parents, but it got cut out so they adapted it for Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Did you know

all were set in the fictional town of Shermer, Illinois. Where Thomas Hardy had Wessex, Hughes had Shermer, and the town's geography connects all of his work: Del Griffin from Planes, Trains and Automobiles lives two doors from Samantha Baker (of Sixteen Candles fame), who knows Ferris Bueller, who went to Shermer High School - as do the characters in The Breakfast Club.

From here, its a bit buggy unfortunately http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/more-than-a-quintessential-eighties-teen-film-567390.html

The Breakfast Club is my joint favouritest fillum ever. Joint with Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

There have been better films since.. but none have had the impact on me that those two had.

On the subject.. not by John Hughes.. but really good film of that era/ilk.. Catholic Boys and Class.

You're only saying that 'cos you're disgusted with yourself for wanting a shag off Charlie Sheen....

Not since Young Guns have I wanted to "shag off" Charlie Sheen!! And even then he was way down on my list after Jack Palance but before that Dermot Guy!
