I think about Pretty in Pink at least once a day. Be it because of Molly Ringwald's presence, or a longing for my adolescence. And I can't think of this movie without wondering why, OH WHY she picks Blane the bland at the end, and not Duckie. Duckie the perfect, stylish, keen, attentive best friend. Duckie who is NOT gay, and could very well go out with her.
Today, I won't show you tons of photos of Duckie, assuming you all have mental images of him, but I will remind you of one of the best scenes ever in the history of teen films:
Any guy who does this is a winner, really.
that would totally do it for me!!
ReplyDeleteonce, my ex-boyfriend refused a pair of creepers as a gift, as they weren't duckie dale enough.
ReplyDelete❤ Clara - I think the Duckie dance is possibly the best thing ever a boy could do.
ReplyDelete❤ Kim - Do you think he would have done the dance in them?
omg, i totes agree. FFS go out with Duckie! Although, to be fair, the chick who beckons him over at the end (Duckette in the credits, so good) is way hotter than Ringwald so maybe he won...?
ReplyDeleteI too often find myself thinking about this movie and replaying that scene in my head. Daydream WIN.

YES YES YES YES!!!
ReplyDeletei think we're long lost sisters (lovers?), but i too think about pretty in pink at least once a day.
ReplyDeleteWHY BLANE? BLANE? That's not a name, it's a major appliance!
Duckie has my heart a-thumpin, always. Though I'll always want to be Iona.
ReplyDeleteLong live John Hughes!
