At the suggestion of Dex I finally saw Making the Grade. Reading TOPH should be a prerequisite to watching this movie...it must be watched with a grain of preppy salt.I don't think it's a coincidence that Hoover Prep school's colors are pink and green! My favorite scene in Making the Grade was Judd Nelson's transformation from badass to prep. I was already a huge fan of Judd Nelson from his roles in The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire so that probably made me like the movie even more. Have you seen Making the Grade?

It's a fun movie and I agree about taking it with a grain of preppy salt!
Have you seen Stealing Home? It's one of my favorite "preppy" movies (and it gets bonus points for being set in a fictional Main Line town).
Have a great day!

Love Judd Nelson! The Breakfast Club is one of my childhood favorites! Love Story is another one of my favorites!
I've never heard of this movie, but ADORE Judd Nelson. I'm adding it to the Netflix queue as we speak. Thanks for passing along the recommendation :)
LOVED this movie!
There was supposed to be a sequel too and I don't think it ever happened!

Where has this been all my life! Am queuing this immediately, this is one of the reason that I love blogs- collectively we canvas it all so we don't miss out.

Whit Stillman flicks are a better rental:
Metropolitan, Last Days of Disco, Barcelona!
This is officially added to my queue! Thanks for the recommendation... 80s movies are my favorite!
OMG. I love your blog. My name's Anna, I'm a stylist and visual merchandiser in LA. I'm 23 years old and moved to California after graduating back in south with a degree in visual merchandiser.

I'm following you, I hope you'll do the same. Thanks so much.

What a fun, fun movie!! ;-) xoxo
never heard of this, but must watch!!!
I don't have to get this on Netflix. I have owned the DVD for years. It is one of those movies that they used to show on TBS at 1:00 am on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I saw it on there many times. A few years ago, I purchased the DVD. I haven't watched it in a few months. I think I may watch it tonight.
I haven't yet it sounds like a good one to rent though!!
Come over and join my giveaway of fine art!

What rock have I been under that I have never seen this or heard of this movie? Looks right up my ally! Netflixing immediately!
Ha ha! A great movie! I love that scene, too. "This duck? Preppy. This duck? Not preppy."
