molly, Andrew, shit even Dweezil and Dice..watching right now, and apart from the soundtrack which I Loved..we've got: Beta Males Alpha Males Bitchy Girls Misunderstood nice-yet-slightly-nerdy-girls And of course the nice guys, dressed in over baggy shirt and the Z-Cavariccis that were hot for a minute.. Did I mention a kick ass soundtrack?
Fuck yeah. Scorcese and John Hughes were two directors who ALWAYS made sure they picked kickass songs for their movies. But to me it's a tossup between this one and the Some Kind of Wonderful soundtrack. This one gets a star docked for not including "Try a Little Tenderness" and the latter loses a star for leaving out the original Stones version of "Miss Amanda Jones". I had such a goddamned crush on Mary Stewart Masterson.
I remember learning to drive with the Pretty in Pink cassette soundtrack playing in the car. Good times.
