Let’s head back to 1986 and enter the world of Andie, Duckie,
and Blaine. It’s been 30 years since director Howard Deutch brought
John Hughes’ story to life and to celebrate, we want to put fans into
the movie. Prior to the screening we will have an 80’s prom featuring
music from that decade, along with re-creating elements from the film.
This will be one night of truly epic 80’s fun. Make sure to come
dressed up in your 80’s inspired attire for your chance to win cool
prizes.
All graduates should submit their old
high school photos to Wynwood@O-Cinema.org with the subject heading
"Prom Picture: (Guest Name Here)" as we'll be featuring class portraits
on the wall of the outdoor courtyard throughout the evening!

PRETTY IN PINK
John
Hughes crafts an exemplary '80s Brat Pack romance out of the standard
Cinderella story in Pretty in Pink. Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) is a
teenager who lives in the dingy part of town with her terminally
underemployed dad (Harry Dean Stanton). She works at a record store with
eccentric Ionia (Annie Potts) and is considered a misfit at her uppity
high school, but somehow she rises above them all. Her oddball best
friend, Duckie (Jon Cryer), is hopelessly in love with her, so he causes
trouble for her romantic pursuits. When local rich kid Blaine (Andrew
McCarthy) develops a fascination with her, they go out on a date
together. Visiting the home bases of each social clique, they are
basically ridiculed for their audacity to date one another. When Blaine
eventually asks the delighted Andie to the prom, he is threatened by his
rich friend Steff (James Spader). The romance versus high school social
politics finally culminates at the big night of the prom.
