They don't make movies like that anymore! And they had a good sound track to go with the it? It was like a one two punch!

[@b.a.jordan1857]

@@erichramone7812 Yup, and interestingly Jon Cryer and James Spader, who played polar opposites in the movie who get into a physical altercation, were actually very friendly with each other. Cryer said that Ringwald and McCarthy were not all that welcoming to him but Spader was.

[@EdsterIII]

I remember her in the Breakfast Club, and the obvious Sixteen🕯Candles🕯,and some others. One of my first crushes. Great movie, FUN! AND ENTERTAINING! Pretty in Pink wasn't my number one choice, but after seeing it a few times, she(Molly Ringwald), she was talented, extremely talented. Overlooking her beautiful eyes and smile, she was spot on with her acting! Also damn funny too.

[@sharontonks3192]

my favourite movie ever, absolutely love it! it's so quintessentially 80s, the hair, the fashion and the excellent soundtrack. molly ringwald looks as gorgeous as ever 😍

Baldness sucks.

[@edwardfaris8516]

Great head of hair...😉

[@lordcron]

I absolutely loved everything John Hughs made. He really spoke to my generation who were the teenagers of the 1980's. A lot of people give him guff about not having people of color in his movies but that was missing the point to many of us. He was speaking to what an 80's teen was back then... If you're young and really want to know what it was like to be an 80's teen?! Go out and buy a big bag of popcorn and your fave soft drink and find all John Hughs movies. By the time you're done you'll know who we were.

[@angelapepple9901]

Sixteen Candles was another favorite

[@lisa.user-xm7kz2tb6x]

Yes the high-low. Brideshead Revisited mini series, have you guys seen it? And, Back to the Future, many's intro to scifi, time travel, to now that interdimensionals vibrate high enough to appear to us. And how physics can be explained plainly enough for Even me! electromagnetism's a thing apparently.

[@brasilified8848]

“Nice pearls. This isn’t a dinner party honey!” One of my favorite lines after Andy’s arrival at the house party. 🤣😂🤣

[@charliegrifo9668]

Used to have a huge crush on Molly Ringwald. She’s very pretty in that pic. Glad to see she didn’t destroy her looks with a lot of unnecessary plastic surgery, like so many other celebs.

[@EdsterIII]

Yes she has a NATURAL beauty that needs zero plastic help. I can't remember, wait.... TARA REID, went the plastic surgery route and yikes! I'm not going to bash her, but why does a absolutely gorgeous woman feel the need to physically alter themselves. If their "man" wants it, maybe they need to DUMP the dude. Sorry, again I'm trying NOT to be a judgemental oaf, but I knew a beautiful young woman I worked with. We were close friends and she confided in me that her BF wanted her to get body piercings on certain parts of her body. 2 piercings NOT her 👂ears👂, and one spot lower and another even lower yet. The fact that these 🔩bolts🔩or studs can cause permanent damage? Was of no consequence to her BF. Then he wanted silicone implants. HE wanted them. When I asked her, "What did SHE WANT?", her answer? She didn't know because she had no "say". That BOGGLED my mind. I'm NOT a social justice goof, BUT a womans body is HER BODY. Nobody has the right EVER to "demand" that she alters her body. I told her to tell him this, F**K OFF! She didn't, and later on his true colors emerged and she was left with holes where there shouldn't be holes, and plastic in a place she didn't need it. Now if SHE CHOSE that route that's HER CHOICE! NEVER let anyone make ANY decisions on what you do to or with your body, EVER! Man or woman, your body is YOURS! And NOBODY has the right to say otherwise! Sorry for the dictation and the be yourself brigade, but always ALWAYS LOOK OUT FOR YOU! ALWAYS! Or you could end up with some artwork on your back, your butt, belly, arms, or you chest or Boobs. Your gorgeous as you are! You don't need any help from the peanut gallery.

[@JasonJames72]

I too had a crush on her and got to see her in Adelaide Australia at a Ben Lee concert. She was down under making the movie "Cut"

[@charliegrifo9668]

Lucky you!! Never got to see her in person. There’s a great clip on KZbin of Simple Minds performing “Don’t You Forget About Me” at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in honor of the 30th Anniversary of “The Breakfast Club” The camera keeps panning into the crowd and there she is, my girl Molly, looking as stunning as ever, and palling around with Taylor Swift. Come to think of it…I believe I STILL have a crush on her 😍

[@mikehaney6512]

Molly still looks fantastic as of now........................

[@denisadellinger4543]

It just goes to show the longevity of the cast members. Molly Ringwald was really the age she was supposed to have played. John Hughes seemed to have a sense of just who was the best to play certain roles. No one makes movies like this anymore. I think that the American Pie series was the last attempt to have crazy teens trying to make it through high school and all the nerds that made their way was as well. But that franchise did not hold up to the teen movies of the eighties. There was still an innocence about it all.

[@teresarenee3829]

But that Jake Ryan....dreamy...lol

Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles and my personal favourite is *drum rolls* tadaaaaa The Breakfast Club. John Hugh's is truly a mastermind. Also Annie Potts was also on the show Designing Women. Love this trip down memory lane.
