yeah man last tango was hard to watch that experience traumatized that poor 19 year old, it was wrong what they did they basically dry humped her and played with her emotions she was still young and innocent. She wasn't like one of these girls you see like balla thorne or miley cyrus who are enticed and easily seduced by evil things.

9 and half weeks has so many angles to it. I think she didnt go back because she realized he was playing a game with her, remember he started counting he pushed his luck and it was too late he opened up at the last minute but she kept looking back, some people said she was also playing a game because she kept expecting him to be the one to chase her.

so they expected each other to bow or submit to each others ideal she wanted John to be the loving husband and father, and he wanted her to be his play thing to enjoy sexually and keep her away from his friends and family, remember she was looking at his pictures and saw his ex girlfriend and he called her on the phone from the phonebooth he planted that photo to make her jealous and when he came back he got mad at her and than they have sex.

She wanted more and was curious and he wanted fun and flings. But at the end he came off sincere he was ashamed o fhis family its really complex man.

I bet you if it were real life she got married to another man she would probably think about him from time to time, girls never forget that type of affair. She probably doesnt look at pics of him if it were a real life situation because she would get curious and get that butter fly feeling thinking about him.

It's one of the few films I wonder about her character before the movie takes place. She's incredibly beautiful and yet she's with this rather plain looking guy before John, quite introvert compared to her friends. Makes you wonder if something already happened to her in her past to leave her so easily manipulated.

Mickey Rourke was such a great actor, I'm sitting here watching Pope Of Greenwich Village right now He and Eric Roberts have incredible chemistry in this movie as well, it's not surprising he was so convincing in 9 1/2 weeks

Scarface

Lord of the Rings

Con Air

I know almost all the lines, makes me all nostalgic and soft inside! I only watch them together with my queen and reminisce of the good old days!

Con Air is one of the regulars for my wife and I also, usually its disaster movies or creature features or Chevy Chase movies

Molly Ringwald was a massive star in the 80s, its crazy how this younger generation has no clue about who was big or not. Even looking back Im like dam Ringwald was the It girl she was like whoever the hottest starlet is now at the time. Man did she really reject that Pretty Woman role? I wish she would have took it because I cant stand Julia Roberts, if she took that Pretty Woman role Molly would have still be an A lister, her career fell off bad because she never took more adult roles sooner.

Generally though I think you could argue that the Brat Pack/John Hughes films/stars have tended to be one aspect of the 80's that's not really been revived that strongly. Pretty Woman on the face of it as well was a rather creepy concept which I suspect might have put her off.

Rather than John Hughes one bit of youth cinema from that era I do find myself going back to often is Coppola's Rumble Fish, I think that's not a very undeserved rep for being too arty for its own good, to me it almost feels like Tarantino a decade early, maybe a bit more focused on visuals rather than dialog but a hell of a cast and IMHO very entertaining thoughout.

Great soundtrack from Copeland as well...

Exorcist I almost chose, it's my 2nd or 3rd favorite movie, and though I watch it yearly it's almost too good to be included as a go to movie. Every time I watch it it's an event you know? Same with Goodfellas

I feel the same way about The Shining.

I watch it every Fall.

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Burt Reynolds was my first movie hero, dude was a stud!
Malone, Heat, Stick, Sharkeys Machine, Gator, Deliverance, White Lightning, Mean Machine, Semi Tough, Rent-A-Cop

More testosterone than all of Hollywood put together these days

 

[HARRISON_3]

It's a great flick and well worth watching. I thought Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were really good in it too.

Yeah the brat pack era, emilio estevez was also big.

I think demi moore was the only one who was able to become a huge star from the group.

Rob Lowe was the guy who they predicted to become at the level of tom cruise but he got sideline by the sex tape controversy

Man molly ringwald was so adorable and girly i was just a kid but always wanted to kiss her lol, she was one of my first crushes as a little kid.

Rumblefish was good, the outsiders is another one.

I also liked valley girl and that last american virgin was depressing but it was real, chicks like that use white knights

You could argue I spose a few of those Brat Pack films seem a bit dodgy from a modern perspective as well which might have held back the revivialism on them? long the same lines I always found it a bit ironic that the only Simple Minds track thats remained in the mainstream consciousness these days is Don't You Forget About Me, back in the day they were almost as big as U2.

Rumble Fish I think you could argue is really the last gasp of New Hollywood, after stuff like Sorcerer, Heavens Gate and Blade Runner flopping it seems like one of the last times we get a large scale overtly arty production from a big name director of that era. Maybe you could argue Friedkin's To Live and Die in LA but I think that's much more a shift to an 80's style.

Gotta show PD some love

Can't Buy Me Love, Some Girls, Coupe De Ville, Lover Boy, Mobsters

Used to watch Coupe De Ville a lot on VHS when it was out, wish I'd kept a copy because it is one of those rare lost movies.
Likewise with Lady Beware and Master Blaster
