In the ’80s, John Hughes hit upon the perfect formula for teen-movie gold: Tell familiar stories about popularity and romance, but set it to amazing music. Pretty in Pink captures the 80s era with its new wave sensibility and music that matches Molly Ringwald’s signature style — a mash-up of vintage and modern with a dash of punk. The Psychedelic Furs sing the title hit and the soundtrack also features tracks by Echo & the Bunnymen, New Order, and The Smiths.
