The other day we wer watching THE SIMPSONS and Homer keeps playing the song Heroes by DAVID BOWIE
my friend said "oh that song...what movie was that in again?..."
I said "PRETTY IN PINK?" because I rememeber hearing that the original ending was to be Andie and Ducky dancing to Heroes.
BUT we all know they didnt go with that ending so.... Can you think of a popular movie that Heroes was prominintly feature in?

The german movie Christiane F has it prominently featured, alongside alot of other Bowie!

'Pretty in Pink' indeed! How many drinks did you have? Come on! I hope you weren't driving!
Incidentally, did it have to be from a movie? Could your friend just be familiar with the song and assume it was heard in a film? I have friends that do that all the time. If someone said to me, "What is that from?" I'd say, "David Bowie's greatest hits."

The original ending to PRETTY IN PINK were Andie and Ducky dancing to Heroes. Look it up if you dont believe me.

Mamamia! I would never call you a liar to your face! Nor would I ever admit to letting your tyres down when you were shopping!
But on another note...
It's not that I don't believe you... but the original ending was shown once, to one audience... 24 years ago! But the song itself is quite famous (I think it turned up on a commercial recently). It just seemed like a big logic leap to make.
Incidentally, I'd always heard that the original ending song was OMD's 'Goddess of Love' (which is what the IMDB says - not that it's always accurate!) The 'Heroes' thing sounds familiar too, but I don't know why. Where did you hear it?

oh this will drive me nuts trying to remember where I read it. I have so many books on 80s movies and such that it quite possibly could have been one of those. OR something I read online? This will drive me nuts now. But i;ll try to remember
I was thinking about that commercial too. I cant remember what the product was for - but it was like in the past 3 years - they had a commercial with heros in it and Im pretty sure thats what my friend is referring to.
As for Christine F , Ive been dying to see that movie but I dont think the guy Im talking about would have seen that one. Maybe . Have to ask him.
