The 1986 teen classic "Pretty in Pink" does not fade with age. It only grows more colorful with repeated viewings and keeps unearthing new fans from one generation to the next.

The John Hughes written film, directed by first-timer Howard Deutch, hit #1 at the box office, produced one of the best soundtracks of the '80s, and further made an icon out of its star, Molly Ringwald, who graced the covers of both Time and Life that same year.

The film was born out of Ringwald getting Hughes hooked on the song "Pretty in Pink" by the Psychedelic Furs (although The Guardian reports that their lead singer isn't the film's biggest fan).

Ringwald not only aided Hughes and the production team in character development, casting, and costumes but set design as well, with her character's room modeled after her own. The effort would be the last collaboration between the two and puts a perfect exclamation point Pretty in Pink (1986) - Dweezil Zappa as Simon - IMDb RYSAZ
