PRETTY IN PINK SHOW A LITTLE TENDERNESS

[@kashkate246]

I wish I had a Duckie in my life. He's so freaking cute, funny, and caring.

[@Debilane23]

We could all use a Duckie

[@VideoAmericanStyle]

You mean a friend that adores you, but since you don't have any chemistry with, you will always treat him like a brother, much to his disappointment? It's a pretty unhealthy dynamic, as the movie tries to show.

[@GrannysBabies642]

We've all had a Duckie, except just like Andi he is forgotten, or overlooked until he's not there (Johnny on the spot)...heartbroken (tears of a clown); grasping on to any inkling of hope that the next interaction will land us in his arms.

[@steveburdelak8787]

Nobody really wanted Ducky...believe me I was Duckie a long time...& not tzoo bad looking if I may say so...but different

[@rodneythenewsgeek9426]

And to friendzone ?

[@lacydreamer6460]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SCENE FROM THE ENTIRE MOVIE!

[@joshrodriguez5370]

I hate this movie but this is my only fav scene in this movie!!!

[@COBALT_iLLADELPH]

Lacy Dreamer best scene in movie is Ducky Doing a wheelie on his bike on the sidewalk like a wild man!!!

[@pbj6606]

It was Jon Cryer's performance that brought this movie to life.

[@meganperkins8181]

100%

[@meganperkins8181]

Best scene in the movie is Duckie dancing to Otis! Love Jon Cryer HE WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS IN THIS! He's still good looking & still a great actor.

[@pippadot679]

Love this movie and the music!

[@WillSing4TP]

I crushed so hard on the Duck Man. 😍

[@singingstar56]

ugh i love this scene. i would've dated duckie in a heartbeat hes so cute and goofy!

[@VideoAmericanStyle]

Veronica Downey I've seen countless women make this same mistake. They go for the slightly dangerous or rich guy over the "nice guy" again and again. And they usually end up getting hurt badly in the end.

[@laurelwilson43]

Same he’s so cute his smile gets me every time ❤️❤️❤️💫💫💍💍

[@toysgames2770]

Steph so fancied Andie. He was jealous of Blaine.

[@abigaillewis9198]

Veronica Downey tbh I’d choose Blaine over Duckie any day. Duckie is definitely one of those guys who expects the girl he loves to love them back and that’s just not fair. He gets angry with her for liking Blaine because he’s jealous which isn’t what a best friend should do, regardless of their romantic feelings. Everyone wanted her to choose Duckie, but throughout the entire film there’s no hint that Andie does or would ever have anything but platonic feelings for Duckie so I’ll never understand how people could hate the ending so much.

[@laurelwilson43]

Abigail Lewis actually he gets angry because Blaine is a stuck up pretty rich boy that is probably using andie and duckie would do anything for her that’s why he gets frustrated because she’s not looking at the big picture

[@MrRustyspot]

He owned this movie, and as much as I love Molly Ringwald, I never once bought her as the "girl from the wrong side of the tracks". Everything about that girl screamed "princess"; thrift store clothes and vintage car, or not.

[@victoriasaper1625]

Scott McGillivray well said👌

[@IckleMikeykins]

Bite your tongue sir! Yes Jon Cryer was amazing in this movie, the movie would have been lost without him and his character, However... Molly Ringwald was spot on as Andy and the character that she was, no princess vibes.

[@angelcitystudio]

YEP!!!! I grew up in this era and it cost a lot to be this vintage. The fact she could sew does help quite a bit though... And Hollywood had a hard time diversifying back in those days. It was Molly or nobody. Winona was still too young and Pheobe Cates didn't have enough star power..... And Ally wasnt really a leading lady. THAT was pretty much the pool.

[@kait.5437]

I feel like her short hair helped a little

[@c.eb.1216]

Yea, unless you have a sharp eye and pick out the odd vintage stuff from garage sales and goodwill (or inherit it), vintage is clothing is expensive as heck. Probably same back then, though maybe a little less so. Hand me downs from grandmama were typically looked down upon as lame from my understanding and seen as a frumpy sign of poverty.

[@shortblockflexinit5219]

And to this day, I can't hear "Try a Little Tenderness" without thinking about this scene. Love it!

[@sherriejefferys5255]

Hay you heard this song in the movie "Duets"? It's great 👍

[@lindamoody9561]

I think this scene got Jon Cryet up to two and a half men starring role, I love Jon Cryer.

[@mguevarra61]

Why was Jon Cryer not nominated for this performance? He's brilliant!

[@RosalindMcCoy]

AGREED!!!!!

[@omarbichara5212]

Brilliant actor

[@gaylemillner5663]

Duckie was passion, fashion, dance, romance, witty & fearless child all rolled into one. Total package!

[@cynthiafigueroa2762]

MY FAV SCENE OF THIS WHOLE MOVIE! i absolutely fell in love with Duckie (John Cryer) those moves on the steps OMG !

[@Yellowjjacket]

As good as Duckie was in this scene, I think Iona, and her facial expressions made it even better. While Andie looked annoyed Iona was loving it. 😂😂

[@meme-bu8qu]

I always thought Andie was just flat out confused by him dancing. Like she has never seen this side before.

[@veronicamarrs]

​@@meme-bu8qu I think the opposite, I think she is used to it and doesn't appreciate his personality and all over energy.

[@lordcron]

I was basically the Black Duckie of my school as a teen in the 1980's so needless to say I was a huge John Cryer fan! This is a classic scene that will be enjoyed for generations!

[@FrederickBamber]

That means u were popular. Be honest .....you had to be.

[@fizzystrings123]

Still can't believe she didn't end up with him

[@fizzystrings123]

Booo, he was a dick

[@cristiwoicichowski5183]

+4starKT Actually, Blane was a great guy... just, Duckie was greater... But Blane really loved her, and when he realized how wrong he was, he redimed himself. So, yeah, Duckie was the goofy best friend who loved her his entire life, but Blane was a cool dude too.

[@cristiwoicichowski5183]

4starKT Yeah, I watched... I actually made a whole argument about why I like Blane. I love Duckie. I'm just sayin, Blane was a great guy too. What he did that is so wrong? And is not like Duckie was all rainbows and unicorns... he was pretty douche sometimes.

[@elteescat]

Bbbbblllllaaaaaiiine!!! Ugh! What kind of a name is THAT?! Hahahaha

[@rakadoni8403]

@@elteescat hahahaha I'm so glad someone went there :p my mum still says it every now and then, just in the voice 'Blaine?!?'

[@chevelle921]

He went in!!!!!! This is my favourite scene of the film. I always rewind it over and over again

[@marceloalejandrodecon9538]

this is one of the most iconic scenes ever.

[@rubyfirefly2582]

The killer about this movie is that Andie was ostracized for being "different" yet she turned her nose up at Duckie for being "different." That always bothered me.

[@mollyfrom5556]

Still bothers me, too, and unfortunately real life is like that way too often. Only a few are brave.

[@CliftonPhotographer]

Many people want to be different while thinking that another different is not the right kind of different.

[@Robertahausen]

yet when he kissed her she thought that he would need to practice on fruit... lolol...I bet he had a line up for the kissing booth every year!!

[@gabrielabarros2036]

Exactly. To be with The rich popular guy that everybody desires. SHe end up like a ordinary girl.

[@LRilea]

In the original ending, Andie chooses Duckie. You can thank test audiences for causing her to choose Blaine in the end, John Hughes wanted her to choose the Duckster. (If you want to see a film based on that concept by Hughes, I suggest Some Kind of Wonderful, which is the same essential story, gender swapped.) What upsets Andie is that in response to her interest in Blaine, Duckie begins to act like as much of a twit as the people he so despises. She doesn't turn her nose up at him for being different, but for being the same.

[@ronroberts1281]

JON CRYER DOES THIS SCENE SOOOOOOOOO WELL AND HE KEEPS THIS FUNKY MOVIE TOGETHER WITH HIS GREAT ACTING!!!!!!

[@larryjsullyiii]

I absolutely love this movie ❤😂🎉

[@nicholasjohnson2210]

I got compared to this guy today multiple times.. best compliment I have ever gotten.

[@ValeRia888-v1e]

❤

[@1980sNostalgia]

In my opinion, this is one of the greatest scenes in movie history and is so critically underrated!

[@Darthbelal]

Duckie ain't rich and he ain't part of the "in" crowd but damn if that doesn't stop from being the kind of guy he wants to be. He's sort of a high school hero and a role model for those who feel downtrodden.......

[@Ariesgoddess745]

omg I so would have dated duckie

[@RobertSmith-el9zy]

Yeah. He is rich now right

[@JulyN78]

John Cryer is one of the most underrated actors... He always gives it all. Since his teens. I see lists of dance scenes in movies, this one is never mentioned. He's never on the lists of most funny, most charming, most nothing. And yet I could count a bunch of scenes on his movies and series where he carried the whole plot beautifully.

[@tammief3515]

i love this part of the movie cause jon cryer was showing off

[@kristinschermann6581]

I always LOVED Duckie.... I mean, who didn't, right? He deserves much better than Andie, the way she treated him, but I guess the heart wants what it wants. I followed Jon through his entire career after this- movies like Superman IV & Hot Shots! and does anyone else remember him in the TV Series 'The Famous Teddy Z'? I loved that show!! So sorry it was cancelled after only 20 episodes) and up until 2 &1/2 Men of course- his Emmys were So deserved! LOVE him! He's still adorable to this day 🥰

[@rigatoni56]

I thought it was weird that I had the hugest crush on him. But after reading the comments I feel better lol 🤗

[@lukethomas658]

They used to play Pretty in Pink endlessly on TBC, etc. when I was in college. No matter where it was in the movie, I'd always stop and watch it. Duckie is the Hughes character to which I most relate: blue collar background, taste for fashion and culture, fear of being honest. Granted, I wasn't in love with a girl, I was wrestling with my sexuality, but still - the big bold personality hiding a quivering heart hit home.

[@呆呆鴨-o2l]

I really love Andie's outfits and her room, pinky and cute

[@TheCaulfield1]

Duckie sings this with absolute passion!! You've gotta give him a little tenderness for singing and dancing to this Otis classic!!!
