So, just watched dirty dancing

[Ifyoubuildit]

For the first time in about 20 years.

Going to dig out top gun next, but what after that ladies???

The Princess Bride

I have a theory that Dirty Dancing is only good if you are 14 or under the first time you saw it.

Which is ironic, given that it's rated 15.

another John Cusack fan here
But rarely mentioned or seen film perhaps- 'The Sure Thing'
I love it!

The Breakfast Club watched it recently and loved it

Any John Hughes film -

Can anyone tell me what film the following line is from please: "You look good wearing my future". [said as hero gives gold earrings he spent his college fund on to his true love]. Apologies for hijacking but it's been bugging me for years.

You look good wearing my future
:)

Lost boys most definitely!
Mrs Doubtfire

Already mentioned: Heathers, Lost Boys, the Doors

Plus Purple Rain and Rocky Horror!

Blues brothers
Ghost busters

Romy and Michelle's high school reunion

Officer and a gentleman, then Top Gun.....Oooh, a day on the sofa watching those with a mug of tea, the lamp on, the grotty grey rainy day outside, would be bliss.....instead I shall bid you all a good day and reluctantly go to work.....

I think I want to watch all of these again. I loved The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
Not my favourite film but The Princess Bride is worth the watch for Cary Elwes in a mask alone.

Thank you Lweji and thank you Itsallgoingtobefine.

Someone up there ^^ mentioned Yanks, wow that's a blast from the past! Loved that film.

Anything with: Christian Slater, Keifer Sutherland, Andrew McCarthy, Rob Lowe, Eric Stoltz, David Bowie cough Labrynth cough tighty tights cough

Another one:
Shag "he's small potatoes"

And, before I go to bed, MAJOR SPOILER ALERTS FOR USUAL SUSPECTS AND MEMENTO - DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM!!

Usual Suspects: Kevin Spacey is Keyser Soze, the Russian/Ukranian can't rememberian ultra-gangster who sets it all up with Mr Kobayashi - the amazing Pete Postlethwaite. While talking to the police, Spacey spins a loooooong yarn about all sorts of crap, making things up as he goes along, pinching the names of his crew (Kobayashi) and places he has been etc, from names pinned around the cop's office, in one instance the bottom of the cop's coffee mug. Spacey manages to leave the copshop without anyone working out he is Keyser Soze including half the audience and gets away with multiple murder and the theft of a fuckload of drugs.

Memento is slightly easier: play the scenes backwards, ie play the ginal scene first, penultimate scene second etc. The film, as it dtands, starts wuth Leonard - Guy Pearce - shooting Teddy (Joe Pantoliano) who did in fact kill his wife and attempt to kill Leonard. The end.

Hth

4 weddings and a funeral
No Way Out
Clueless

Nobody seems to have mentioned Working Girl featuring the delicious young Harrison Ford - similar central plot idea to MJF's The Secret of My Success but better done and I think less well known.

We're sweeping this over into our Films section, but OP, if you're not happy please do let us know!
