Added 2025-02-09 18:11:03 +0000 UTCWe la la loved it!! The 80s were such a vibe and this had it all! This had the magic of the chick flicks we grew up with and loved. A perfect February flick. Enjoy!

2025-02-17 09:46:09 +0000 UTCI remember when she had her talk show and it was super weird when she showed up in Serial Mom. I didn't even know she was an actor at the time.
Chris Thom
2025-02-16 04:59:06 +0000 UTCOh crap, my mistake, Jonathan Demme directed 'Something Wild', I confused it with 'After Hours' with Griffin Dunne and Rosanna Arquette.

2025-02-15 02:28:55 +0000 UTCI love the innocence "is he doing drugs?". Also nice cameo from Ricky Lake at the wedding
John Drake
2025-02-14 21:31:35 +0000 UTCLast time was probably 1992 when it was on VHS. Trying to remember if the brother character is famous too without looking it up. Want to say it's the same kid that was in Married With Children but that can't be right.
Chris Thom
2025-02-13 11:47:42 +0000 UTCReally nice to see both sisters looking so happy and engaged during a watch/review. It's nice. Glad they enjoyed.
Chris Thom
2025-02-13 11:45:25 +0000 UTCIn that case you’re overdue a rewatch.
Luke Godfrey
2025-02-13 03:28:07 +0000 UTCNever heard of that one. I don't think I've seen much of Scorsese's coked up years. But a lot of them sound interesting.
Chris Thom
2025-02-13 03:19:05 +0000 UTCThought she got that wrong but I wasn't sure.
Chris Thom
2025-02-13 03:17:19 +0000 UTCI have a ton of nostalgia for that one but I don't remember why. Zero memories of it other than Applegate in a power suit at an office.
Chris Thom
2025-02-13 03:16:19 +0000 UTCWoah memory unlocked. I DID use mom's hairspray to make a flamethrower. lol. But it wasn't Aqua Net.
Chris Thom
2025-02-13 03:14:58 +0000 UTCWell, you've seen 'Witness', I think. I think you should watch 'Something Wild', which is an introduction of Melanie Griffith to the movie industry, and was directed by Martin Scorsesse, Ray Liotta is incredible in it. You've watched 'Sabrina' starring Ford, nothing more cute to watch with Harrison Ford, other than 'Morning Glory' with Diane Keaton and Rachel McAdams.
JPDotCom23
2025-02-12 07:01:15 +0000 UTCNicholas Cage starred in 'It Could Happen to You' with Bridget Fonda, not Melanie Griffith

2025-02-12 04:50:32 +0000 UTCYou guys are just watching all the movies that I've loved, but have not seen in years!
Stephen Dias
2025-02-12 02:46:34 +0000 UTCGreat reaction. I knew Cassie would enjoy this movie. I didn’t realise Carly was watching this one too so that was a nice surprise. Is it just me or does this movie make anyone else want to watch Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991) starring Christina Applegate? Cassie hasn’t seen it yet so fingers crossed she sees this comment and adds it to her watchlist. It’s right up her street! 🤞🏻
Luke Godfrey
2025-02-12 01:21:05 +0000 UTCHow... how could you have never seen Aqua Net??? What did you use to power your potato guns or make flame throwers out of?
Mike Lemon
2025-02-12 01:12:07 +0000 UTCHopefully that Aqua Net stuff smelled good. Looks like it was everywhere. Don't think I've ever seen a bottle in real life.
Chris Thom
2025-02-11 22:00:24 +0000 UTCI mostly remember movies being slower paced until the 90's.
Chris Thom
2025-02-11 21:58:42 +0000 UTCThis hair was 100% accurate for a lot of girls. I graduated high school in 1988 and there was a can of aqua net in many lockers. Mousse and hairspray. So much hairspray.
Jen Barnes
2025-02-11 21:37:05 +0000 UTCFirst time watching this one and although it had a good ending, I thought it was boring most most of the time. As it kinda felt like it took ages get thought it. But glad the ladies liked it.
Dean Holt
2025-02-11 20:31:26 +0000 UTCWatched it twice, so far.
Allen Bond
2025-02-11 12:41:09 +0000 UTCIf you guys wanna relive the movie in a 80's cheesy whirlwind music video montage kind of way, here's the music video for the song, which I think won the Oscar for best song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv-0mmVnxPA&ab_channel=CarlySimon
YodatheHobbit
2025-02-11 06:35:52 +0000 UTCAnother classics 1980s recommendation is “Wall Street” with Michael Douglas from 1987.
REDR58
2025-02-11 04:31:35 +0000 UTCFun reaction. First time watch for me, despite being older than your 2. I have to say it really hit me when you asked if those were the Twin Towers, then I remember it was 24 years ago now when they were destroyed and I watched it live on TV. Holy time flying.
REDR58
2025-02-11 04:28:34 +0000 UTCThe hair. My God.
Philip Alan
2025-02-10 23:46:17 +0000 UTCIt felt very inevitable right from the get IMO.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 22:55:23 +0000 UTCThis took me back. Fun 80's movie. I loved revisiting it with you ladies. It had been so long since I saw this movie that I only remember bits and pieces of it. It was great to rediscover it.
Rick Williams
2025-02-10 20:52:19 +0000 UTCI never understood the bad reviews. I thought it was a really fun movie. Tom Hanks was excellent, and it is a fun story. At the time the movie came out, my girlfriend worked at a movie theater. When they were done showing the movie she brought me home the giant banner they had to promote it, because I was such a big Melanie Griffith fan at the time. I lugged that around for years from house to house before finally selling it. :D
Vwlss Nvwls
2025-02-10 20:36:11 +0000 UTCI am a partial to this one because it is Brian De Palma directing, and he has always been my favorite director since I saw some of his movies on t.v. as a kid. I just love his style and scope.
Vwlss Nvwls
2025-02-10 20:27:39 +0000 UTCI’ve been waiting for this PIB reaction since I first started watching many years ago.
Philip Herman
2025-02-10 20:11:55 +0000 UTCIs that true? He got hurt on Indy set?
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 17:30:49 +0000 UTCWitness is actually on the channel already.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 17:19:22 +0000 UTCAs many I'm sure have said here, this is one of my favorite Ford performances. He evokes the greats of the past while being distinctly him. Light, charming, rougishly funny in the way he was in Star Wars 1 ( I know what I called it and I stand by it). It's crazy how much chemistry he has with Griffith, who was never better. Also, this and Galaxy Quest proves the great Sigourney Weaver's secret weapon is comedy.
Rick Rodriguez
2025-02-10 15:37:28 +0000 UTCIt was the Highest voted 30s & 40s film in the Classic Romantic Poll. That’s something to note. But Philadelphia winning the Championship is a pretty good kicker too. :-)
Larry Darrell
2025-02-10 15:20:55 +0000 UTCHarrison Ford You guys will like 6 days and 7 seven nights its a Rom Com. Others to see Witness, Presumed Innocent, American Graffiti, the Devil's Own cause it has Brad Pitt too.
thomas king
2025-02-10 14:13:25 +0000 UTCWitness - he was nominated for Best Actor in 1986
Walter
2025-02-10 14:11:31 +0000 UTCI actually don't know if he's ever been nominated? Thought for sure he was but I can't think of any.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 14:04:50 +0000 UTCCassie's unintentional not-quite-Freudian-slips are legendary.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 14:02:15 +0000 UTCI feel, with Larry’s post, The Philadelphia Story has now achieved the legally required volume of traction to make it a compulsory Popcorn pick. It’s also very topical because Philadelphia just won the Super Bowl.
Clarence Newman
2025-02-10 12:18:58 +0000 UTC"No, no bones... you've already thrown plenty!" I am guessing Cassie didn't mean that to sound as filthy as it do, or had I misheard it... was there a 'been' that I didn't hear? Made me laugh. This had more familiar faces than I remember, including two "Jack Ryans" with Ford and Baldwin, David Duchovny ("Return to me") hiding in the shower at the surprise party, among of bunch of other faces just in background roles that are in movies on the channel. Others have already gone into the legacy acting families that were mixed up, the Hedren/Griffith/Johnson clan and the Fondas. The roots of "Linus Larabee" in the "Sabrina" remake can be seen in "Jack Trainer". I did enjoy it better than the first time I saw it.
Mojo One Thousand
2025-02-10 11:39:01 +0000 UTCI agree where Griffith and Weaver are concerned. But Cusack gets a nomination? And not Ford? No, sorry, unacceptable. 😀 apparently I’m still mad about it 😀

2025-02-10 11:10:06 +0000 UTC"Broadening horizons" is phrase that gets thrown around a bit... the horizon is 360 degrees, you sometimes only need to go 1 degree from where you are to find yourself somewhere new...
Mojo One Thousand
2025-02-10 11:06:23 +0000 UTCYes, I saw that, went back and had a look and he was hiding in the shower off to the left.
Mojo One Thousand
2025-02-10 11:03:13 +0000 UTCShe was adorable. And she walked that line really well. In other hands it could've been a pretty unlikeable role.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 10:56:18 +0000 UTCI never saw Bonfire because the reviews were so bad. But the book is by maybe my favorite author. Was it any good?
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 10:54:28 +0000 UTCYeah she was great in that. Always respect when an actor can make a ridiculous premise and role work. I really like her.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 10:52:55 +0000 UTCLove that scene in the art gallery with the music. One of my all time favorite scenes.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 10:49:00 +0000 UTCThat Disney movie? With Shia? Don't think I ever saw that but I remember the commercials.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 10:46:09 +0000 UTCNever heard of that one. Haven't seen Melanie Griffith in a while. Wonder if she retired.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 10:44:54 +0000 UTCWonder how much hair went up in flames around candles during that time.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 10:34:36 +0000 UTCAt least that obligatory 1980s breasts shot was at a distance.

2025-02-10 09:25:49 +0000 UTCThis is the second movie the ladies saw featuring a Carly Simon song. The other was "Nobody does it better" from the 007 film The Spy Who Loves Me
Shawn Kildal
2025-02-10 09:12:39 +0000 UTC+1 for Blow Out (1981). She liked The Untouchables (1987).
Clay F
2025-02-10 08:00:20 +0000 UTCYep. And directed by Joe Dante.
Larry Darrell
2025-02-10 07:59:59 +0000 UTCShe’s reacted to The Untouchables (1987)… and I’m still hoping for Blow Out (1981)
Larry Darrell
2025-02-10 07:58:14 +0000 UTCMy wife and I saw it when it was new. We bought a copy on DVD when it was available and watch it every few years. It wasn't until last Fall that my wife finally noticed the nearly naked vacuuming scene. Somehow that practice wasn't widely adopted...
Bert Towle
2025-02-10 06:29:54 +0000 UTC🤣 At least they acknowledge it
fish_thefilmcollector
2025-02-10 06:23:33 +0000 UTCChris Thom - she's the villain in Holes too.
Bert Towle
2025-02-10 06:23:13 +0000 UTCShe does the worst German accent ever in that film.
Bert Towle
2025-02-10 06:20:39 +0000 UTCThink they would enjoy Six Days, Seven Nights.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 05:32:04 +0000 UTCIt's fascinating, but it does make the family look like complete nutcases. Like to the point where CPS or FBI or something should've probably intervened.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 05:28:04 +0000 UTCHaven't seen that one since 1993. John Goodman is in it right? About South Florida during the missile crisis?
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 05:20:48 +0000 UTCBody Double sounds good. Gonna look for that one. Was just wondering the other day if there were any DePalma's I hadn't seen yet. Is Mission Impossible the only one by the director on PIB channel?
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 05:19:11 +0000 UTCOhhh it was the older guys' list. Thought you meant Jack Black at first.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 05:15:03 +0000 UTCPretty sure he knew the assignment with that one. He did great and dutifully but that movie was always going to be more of a glory for the women kind of thing. Granted, the movie is definitely better for having him and he probably knows that.
Chris Thom
2025-02-10 05:12:40 +0000 UTCThe other movies was, It Could Happen to You. The lead actress was Bridget Fonda who is part of the Fonda acting dynasty.
Sandra Jewitt
2025-02-10 04:44:15 +0000 UTCI've always loved this movie. I was 15 when I saw it in the theater (because of Harrison Ford) and was so pissed when Melanie Griffith, Sigourney Weaver and Joan Cusack were all nominated for Academy Awards, but Harrison Ford was not. I was outraged :)
Walter
2025-02-10 04:04:28 +0000 UTCYeah, she was known.
Clay F
2025-02-10 03:07:31 +0000 UTCYeah, good point. Melanie Griffith was no Weaver or Ford.
Clay F
2025-02-10 03:07:11 +0000 UTCHair spray! My mom used to use it on my blond curly hair in the first and second grade to straighten it out a bit for school picture day. The smell of it I definitely won't ever miss. Then after that I remember in the 5 and 6th grades all the other guys were suddenly using gel in their hair, almost every day. I didn't try that kind of stuff till later in highschool when my hair was longer and I put just a little bit in before drying with a towel to make my natural curls a bit straighter, tried to have a poofy blond afro kind of thing. Sort of like Heath Ledger in A Knight's Tale. Little secret, us now totally bald guys really miss having hair options, like removing a customizable feature in a video game, like a car. At least I do. Before getting used to it, it's like you're in the mirror and say "Oh hi head. You're so boring now."
YodatheHobbit
2025-02-10 02:53:54 +0000 UTCYes Cassie, you loved this movie like I knew you would. Having Carly watch it too just made it so much better. The movie was nominated for Best Picture, Melaine Griffith for Best Actress, Joan Cusak and Sigouney Weaver both were nominated for Best Supporting Actress as well as Mike Nichols for Best Director. But Carly Simon got the only Oscar for the movie, for writing Let the River Run which won for Best Song.
Mike LL
2025-02-10 02:47:09 +0000 UTCMelanie Griffith was already a 2 time Golden Globe nominated actress before Working Girl, for which she was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. Golden Globe nominated for… Body Double (1984) & Something Wild (1986)
Larry Darrell
2025-02-10 02:44:58 +0000 UTCI knew y’all would Love this movie. Anyone would have been a fool to bet against it… like betting on the Chiefs :-) I noticed y’all really liked the word, “Gumption.” I wonder where you’ve heard that word before. Could it have been the modern Classic Christmas film… The Holiday? ;-) In all the times that you both have seen The Holiday, have either of you ever been interested in Arthur’s long list of old movies featuring Powerhouse women? Have either of you, in all these years, ever been curious to find out who Irene Dunne is? Well, just in case you have, but maybe didn’t know where to look… here is Arthur’s List of 15 films that feature that same certain endearing quality that Ms. Tess McGill exudes. Trouble in Paradise (1932) My Man Godfrey (1936) Libeled Lady (1936) The Awful Truth (1937) Easy Living (1937) Nothing Sacred (1937) Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife (1938) Holiday (1938) Bachelor Mother (1939) His Girl Friday (1940) My Favorite Wife (1940) The Philadelphia Story (1940) Ball of Fire (1941) The Lady Eve (1941) The Palm Beach Story (1942) Bonus: 2 more modern films, not recommended enough, that fit the bill… 9 to 5 (1980) Juliet, Naked (2018)
Larry Darrell
2025-02-10 02:35:49 +0000 UTCYes Melanie Griffith was well known at the time, but obviously she was not a real big star at the time like Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver were. I mean, they were huge stars. Which is strange because it is so obvious when watching Working Girl that Melanie Griffith is the star of the movie. The whole story is about her. It is a shame that they had to give her third billing status, but those are the realities in Hollywood when you have bigger stars to headline your movie. It's almost an injustice! 😏 Which is all kind of ironic given the storyline of the movie!
Mike LL
2025-02-10 02:28:02 +0000 UTCThere is a feel of uncertainty through the movie, which both of you seemed to appreciate. Yes, that is John Cusack's sister (Joan Cusack) who is also great as the principal in School of Rock (2004) alluded to by Carly. My kids loved School of Rock [PG-13] back in the day. I remember when this movie Working Girl (1986) was released. Melanie Griffith was well known at the time. I liked her 2 years earlier in "Body Double" (1984) (Thriller/Mystery) [Brian De Palma]. Yes, as a comment indicated below, that is Alec Baldwin -- 4 years before he was in The Hunt for Red October (1990) with Sean Connery. I generally like 80s movies to see depictions of the time. Thanks for the reaction.
Clay F
2025-02-10 01:47:52 +0000 UTCShe was relatively well known at the time, but she was no Weaver or Ford.
Clay F
2025-02-10 01:28:53 +0000 UTCI liked Body Double but has been so long
Clay F
2025-02-10 01:27:18 +0000 UTCShe is good as the principal in School of Rock
Clay F
2025-02-10 01:26:08 +0000 UTC+1 for "Closer" (2004)

2025-02-10 01:23:21 +0000 UTCReading the credits Fox Mulder was at Tess' birthday party!

2025-02-10 00:22:06 +0000 UTCCassie needs to watch "The Year of Living Dangerously" Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver.
TheSingulatarian
2025-02-09 23:42:29 +0000 UTC+1 for Matinee (1993) I’ve recommend it a few times in October. It’s like a love letter to Horror films, and considering the Cuban Missile Crisis setting, October is a Perfect time to watch it. Anytime is good too ;-)
Larry Darrell
2025-02-09 23:15:24 +0000 UTCand Meet Joe Black (1998) that they saw together. Thank You Kevin Wade
Larry Darrell
2025-02-09 23:08:33 +0000 UTC+1 for Toys (1992)
Larry Darrell
2025-02-09 23:03:03 +0000 UTC+1 for Six Days Seven Nights (1998)
Larry Darrell
2025-02-09 23:01:32 +0000 UTCFirst time time watch for me. Perfect timing for a Sunday matinee. As much as it's fun to watch movies where you broaden your horizons and watch something outside your comfort zone, it's also fun to kick back and watch something with you ladies that's right up your alley with lots of great big smile moments. My only complaint is that I'm not sure why they had to lie in the movie, everyone knows that he got the scar on his chin fighting off a lion with a whip inside a train car. 😉
Canadianant
2025-02-09 22:43:15 +0000 UTCYou know the perfect movie for a matinee? ...Matinee (1993)
Milton William Burray
2025-02-09 22:27:18 +0000 UTCAlways liked her in Toys (1992). Too bad that movie doesn't get much love.
Mike Lemon
2025-02-09 22:24:43 +0000 UTCI absolutely adore this movie. If you enjoyed Melanie Griffith in this I think you'd like SHINING THROUGH with Michael Douglas.
fish_thefilmcollector
2025-02-09 22:09:26 +0000 UTCOh, that is the other "Roar". I think I saw mention of it back in the day when I was looking up Heath Ledger's Roar (1997) but never bothered to look into it further.
Mike Lemon
2025-02-09 22:08:55 +0000 UTCCabin in the Woods maybe... but it's a small part. Almost a cameo.
Brett Richey
2025-02-09 22:01:19 +0000 UTC“Stormy Monday” has an impressive cast and crew that went on to even greater heights, including the director winning an Oscar for “Leaving Las Vegas” several years later. It was a very personal film for the director who had wanted to make a movie in his native Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Interesting factoid about the behind the scenes of “Stormy Monday”. Sting was originally from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (was even a teacher there before his career with rock band The Police took off). When his agent received the script for “Stormy Monday” he called Sting and asked him if he had ever heard of a place called Newcastle.
Darren Harrison
2025-02-09 21:57:56 +0000 UTCPretty rare that she plays the villain. This is the only one I can think of.
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 21:57:48 +0000 UTCI like 'em sexy. Those schoolboy crushes never leave you. Always loved Sigourney, alway will. Alien started it; not my fault she was in her underwear. Also see Ghostbusters and Galaxy Quest (where I personally think she encompassed ultimate sexuality). She's for me, Chris - It's just simple biology 😌 Good film though and glad she gets her cumuppence; all for the story. This is just my loins taking the lead. Forgive me.
Brett Richey
2025-02-09 21:53:14 +0000 UTCI hope everyone enjoys this one! It brings back memories of a simpler time , the 80s of course, and I love it! Lol
Jason Henderson
2025-02-09 21:51:23 +0000 UTCI've always enjoyed this movie, and it still holds up. Rewatching it with a reaction was great. It's fascinating how men's fashion has barely changed in 35 years. Those suits would still look perfectly fine today. Meanwhile, women's fashion from the '80s, both in clothing and hairstyles, feels so distinctly tied to its era. That’s another movie checked off my “Can’t believe Cassie and Carly haven’t seen this rom-com yet” list. But there are still several left: - SIX DAYS SEVEN NIGHTS with older and grumpier Harrison Ford - A WALK IN THE CLOUDS with Keanu Reeves - DOC HOLLYWOOD with Michael J Fox - FRENCH KISS with Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan - FOOL'S GOLD with Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson
Gábor Árki
2025-02-09 21:46:39 +0000 UTCI definitely have a category of movies I call 'grandma's house'. lol. They his a bit different for some reason.
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 21:46:20 +0000 UTCAww I remember picking movies just from a poster. Good times. And as fun as talking about movies online can be, I do kind of miss the days when they weren't driven into the ground by armchair critics before they even came out.
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 21:42:28 +0000 UTCOh yay she's still alive?? Thought she had passed.

Björn Karlsson
2025-02-09 21:32:29 +0000 UTCIs it wrong that I totally fancied Sigourney Weaver more in this movie than Melanie Griffith? Don't answer... I don't care... I do. I'd sign her cast in this so hard. Don't judge me... I'm only human.

2025-02-09 21:20:56 +0000 UTCTippi lives with lions to this day. Alamo Drafthouse brought “Roar” to theaters and gave it a blu ray release a few years ago. Not a particularly good movie. But it is interesting to watch the entire blended family interact with the big cats, knowing that multiple serious injuries resulted. The production bragged that 70 people were injured in the making of the film, but none of the animals were. If memory serves, Tippi got her arm broken or dislocated by an elephant.

2025-02-09 21:18:00 +0000 UTCIt's no wonder this movie reminded you of Maid in Manhattan, they were written by the same person! This was a great reaction and a perfect Sunday afternoon re-watch.

2025-02-09 21:01:43 +0000 UTCOhhhh that's right. Ever since I saw The Birds I thought she looked familiar. That makes sense.
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 20:34:45 +0000 UTCAlways fun when she shows up. Especially in her brother's movies.

2025-02-09 20:22:48 +0000 UTCThat would be fun. One of mom's favorite movies.
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 20:22:26 +0000 UTCThink the director may've been friends with her.

2025-02-09 20:21:45 +0000 UTCYou just saw it recently, or you had seen it before?
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 20:21:20 +0000 UTCFun Fact: The actress that plays Tess is the daughter of Tippi. Tippi played the lead character in the Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds that the two of you saw together.
Nick Stark
2025-02-09 20:20:38 +0000 UTCGlad you two liked it! Had a feeling you would. The extra later 80's is a nice touch watching nowadays with the music and fashion, suits and hair and all that, for the nostalgia. Mike Nichols is a great, and diversified director. His Closer film with Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Clive Owen and Natalie portman is also very good but in a VERY different way. That is a harder watch with a harder edge. But also fascinating (and darker/more cynical). But it's one of my favorites from the 2000s and Nichols in general.
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 20:20:03 +0000 UTCStrange Melanie Griffith fact. Her stepfather was really into lions. Thought they were house cats. He made a movie about a family that lives with lions called "Roar". It was insane. Melanie, her mother Tippi Hedren and the crew were in constant danger. One of lions got spooked attacked Melanie and peeled her scalp back like a grape. The Surgeons did a remarkable job. You cannot even see the scar.

2025-02-09 20:18:29 +0000 UTCI actually saw this for the first time only a few years ago and really enjoyed it; once I saw it on your watch list I knew it was perfect for February; all the actors I think were cast to perfection 👏

2025-02-09 20:17:59 +0000 UTCYes, the hair really was that big in the 1980s.

2025-02-09 20:11:46 +0000 UTCCarly "I don't think my hair could get that kind of volume if I tried." Cass "I know. What were they using?" In my ex-wife's case... tons of Aqua Net. :) She used to do that when we met, and I called it her Woody Woodpecker hair do, because it literally went up and curved forward. :D

2025-02-09 20:08:16 +0000 UTCYou are on fire to day Cassie. When do you sleep? I graduated from business school in 1987 so this movie was right in my wheelhouse in 1988. My girlfriend /later wife/ later ex-wife graduated in 1989. She also loved Harrison Ford. She loved the movie too.

Matt Rose
2025-02-09 19:43:24 +0000 UTCGlad the ladies liked it. Rom-Coms are not my favorite genre, LOL. Always had trouble with Ford in these types of roles, I just see him as a action star.

2025-02-09 19:37:32 +0000 UTCI'm telling you, just wait until you two see Moonstruck.

rakesh
2025-02-09 19:31:49 +0000 UTCBeen a long time since I watched this movie. I owned a copy on VHS tape (to show how long ago it was). If you still haven't wiped away the image of Harrison Ford in What Lies Beneath, other movies of his you should check out are Six Days, Seven Nights and Regarding Henry.

2025-02-09 19:10:29 +0000 UTCI cannot wait to watch this one with you two. I know you two will love it. I have always been a Melanie Griffith fan, and this is one of my favorite movies of hers. Such a fun movie. I do not think you have watched Melanie Griffith in anything else, but she has been in a lot of great movies. Like... Body Double Bonfire of the Vanities Something Wild Pacific Heights
Vwlss Nvwls
2025-02-09 18:58:21 +0000 UTCThis is like the classic Cinderella story. “Maid in Manhattan” with JLO was actually inspired by “Working Girl.” The opening credits is so iconic - and the final scene with Tess 🥺 Melanie Griffith is just brilliant. Never give up on your dreams!
Rose
2025-02-09 18:57:48 +0000 UTCRemember seeing this in the theaters. The initial posters focused on Ford and Weaver who were the two known bankable stars of the picture. Of course it quickly became apparent that Griffith was indeed a star and later iterations of the poster featured her alongside her co-stars. I’m not at all surprised you liked it. I find it an enjoyable rom com of the period. Off topic but just before she made this picture Griffith made a movie with Sting, Tommy Lee Jones and Sean Bean called “Stormy Monday”. Neither her or Bean were big names at the time so the posters for that picture and publicity focused on Sting and Lee Jones.
Darren Harrison
2025-02-09 18:57:09 +0000 UTCHi Cassie and Carly, Melanie Griffin is Dakota Johnson’s mother with Don Johnson. You know Sigourney Weaver from the Alien movies, Avatar, Ghostbusters, Holes and Dave. Yes that is Alec Baldwin. This was around the time he was in Beetlejuice and was very handsome.
Tara
2025-02-09 18:56:55 +0000 UTCIt’s also easy to forget that Harrison Ford had some really good roles in movies that are not action/adventure/sci fi movies. With that being said, I’d like to recommend his movie Regarding Henry. I think you and Carly would love this tender side of Harrison Ford.

2025-02-09 18:47:57 +0000 UTCWell, my Sunday afternoon is officially set. I just finished shoveling snow and cleaning off cars for an hour and a half. I’m back in my sweats, and I’m snuggled up on the couch. I’m starting off by listening/watching the latest episode of Popcorn to Go, and then I’ll cap off the afternoon with this movie before settling in for the Super Bowl. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve seen this movie. I don’t remember too much of it, but I do remember that famous line by Melanie Griffith. “I’ve got a mind for business and a bod for sin. Is there anything wrong with that?” And I also remember the title song from the soundtrack…”Let the Rivers Run”, which won Carly Simon a Grammy, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award.
Dan M
2025-02-09 18:47:35 +0000 UTCOne of the best 80 s Nostalgia movies ever made!! It just had a feel to it! Melanie Griffith was so amazing ,capturing the innocence and Perseverance of her character. Harrison ford was such a presence! Miss weaver was So nasty ! But was totally believable. Was so excited and happy for the stories Conclusion! So happy you enjoyed it!☺️
Jason Henderson
2025-02-09 18:25:38 +0000 UTCLoooooooooooove this movie...the cast is amazing, and funny, and HOLY S#!% the hair.

2025-02-09 18:24:46 +0000 UTCOk. I’ll watch this to dip my feet into your world for a bit. It’s only fair after you committed so much time to Star Trek.

2025-02-09 18:20:36 +0000 UTCSaw this in theaters the day it came out, I didn't even know what it was about! Just saw the poster in the lobby and I was sold, plus it was a pretty good movie as it turned out!
Rob Galloway
2025-02-09 18:20:16 +0000 UTCI love this movie. Harrison Ford was such a different actor before Regarding Henry.

Mike LL
2025-02-09 18:18:50 +0000 UTCI had a massive crush on Melanie Griffith. A lot of men did. She was so beautiful and her voice was so soft and sensual. I can’t wait to watch this.
