Synopsis

Pretty in Pink (1986) is a teen romance you can watch online on iFILM. Andie lives with her dad on the wrong side of her high school's money, sews her own clothes, and works the counter at a record store. Then Blane, a boy from the rich crowd, notices her — and something sparks that neither clique is ready to cheer for.

Molly Ringwald plays Andie as stubborn and self-made, unwilling to fake being someone she isn't to fit in. Andrew McCarthy is Blane, pressured by his own friends over an "unsuitable" choice. Orbiting both is Duckie (Jon Cryer), the best friend carrying a hopeless crush — and pulling off maybe the greatest lip-sync number in the genre, set to Otis Redding. James Spader shows up as a rich-kid snob you'll want to strangle.

John Hughes wrote it, the defining chronicler of eighties American teenagers, with Howard Deutch directing. The soundtrack, packing New Order and The Psychedelic Furs, became a classic on its own. A story about the class divide and staying true to yourself that still lands. Stream Pretty in Pink online on iFILM.
