Now, I loved me some "PiP". Wasn't my favorite. That was the Breakfast Club. But, this one runs really close to my heart too.
Let me freshen your memories on the main characters:
The main characters, from left to right.
Andrew McCarthy as Blane. Rich boy with a heart of gold. Then, of course, Molly Ringwald as Andie, the dimestore poor girl with a heart of gold. Lastly, Jon Cryer, the mac daddy geek with the...um, jacket of gold.
Then of course, your supporting players:
James Spader as the asshole, Steff. Annie Potts as the employer/best pal, Iona.
All caught up?
Good. Here we go.
Five questions. The one with the most correct will win.
1) In the record store where Andie works, Ducky gives the performance of a lifetime by dancing and lip-synching to a song. What was the name of the song?
2) Andie goes to CATS, a dance club, with Iona. There, she meets up with her pal, Simon. Who played Simon and who played the bouncer at the front door of the Cat Club?
3) There was a song playing during the prom scene that became a super huge hit of the 80's. Who sang the song and what was the name of the song?
4) Someone never got to see their theatrical debut. In the beginning of the movie, Andie had a best friend, a pretty blonde named Jena. By the middle of the movie, the actress is no where to be seen? What happened to the actress and what was her name?
5) Another famous movie was shot in the same High School where Pretty in Pink was shot. What movie was it? (Hint: It was PRE-Pretty in Pink!)
There you go!
Have fun!
Answers at the top of the hour.

3. If You Leave - OMD
4. Alexa Kenin; she was murdered
5. Grease
Wow I feel like an idiot compared to Laci, even if she is wrong. Whatever, it brought up some great memories. And was she really murdered?
Is the song, If you Leave? or something like that?
And the girl...
OK I don't know these answers and I'm not going to cheat. But this also got me thinking, why did the teen movies of the '80s have so much meaning and heart, and now, today? Just slasher movies. I guess there have been one or two good ones.
I loved Demi Moore's hair in St. Elmo's Fire...
Damn.
I wasn't into that movie. Ask me about the Breakfast Club, though - I can answer that one! Used to know every single line in that movie - from watching it a million times with that same girl who introduced me to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. :-D
OH! Duh. I'm reading backwards - just caught the BC post! LOL!
I suck at these. But want to say what a great post CP! For having only half hour to prepare each one! :-)

IMBD lists alexa kenins last movie in 1989.... creepy....
dbv - That is true. Her last movie was started a year before Pretty in Pink was, but was released post-humously. Isn't that wild? *shivers*
Cece - YOU of all people should have known the Pretty in Pink song...because you WERE Andie, dammit! Remember back in like, 86? You totally dressed so funky and wild, with all your pearls and zany hairdo's and lace up boots and you were ALWAYS listening to OMD! Wasn't that yours and Steve's song??? *hehehhehehe*
OMG! I grew up in the 80s and I am at a total loss, I AM a moron when it comes to 80s trivia... *sigh* BUT!!! I am loving these posts. The boobs were a nice tough though.... If we are to talk about T&A, how about one of your "A"... OK that's a freak sorta question but you asked! ...and I know they were all thinking it too!!! You have to have the complete set. I know we have to wait for the hot hubby to return to take that pic. Hope you get food soon....
....did I just write tough about you BOOBS!?!?! I meant to say touch! LOL!!! *hits self in forhead*
Wow! Laci is the champion! I think she has every one of them right!
I bow down to you, Laci!
