The teen classics of Generation X have come under fire — even by Molly Ringwald herself, admirably — for some of their retrograde politics. But there’s too much in this John Hughes-scripted teen drama that is achingly sincere and well-intentioned to dismiss. Harry Dean Stanton gives the performance of the movie (maybe his career) as a single dad trying to get it right, even though he’s out of his depths. He buys his daughter a pink dress for her prom, which he can’t afford, and the gesture breaks your heart. Vidiots is celebrating Stanton’s work throughout November, with nights devoted to “Repo Man” and “Paris, Texas,” but “Pretty in Pink” calls out the strongest, with its soundtrack that can still instill in a young person an excellent sense of musical taste.
“Pretty in Pink” is playing Nov. 14 at Vidiots. Tickets here.

The online whispers only intensified when Maya revealed herself to Kenny in the turret after he was recruited on Thursday night’s show.
He lunged forward for an embrace with her — which he didn’t do for fellow Traitor James Acaster.
During a car journey following one challenge, playing the role of a Faithful, he told his co-stars: “If Maya is a traitor I will never look at her in the same way.”
Comedian and presenter Romesh Ranganathan teased in response: “Well first of all I don’t believe that for a second”, as all three of them laughed.
Later in the episode, the players had to pair up for a mission and Maya selected Kenny.
After she said his name, YouTube star Kenny replied by saying: “My lovely darling.”
