song is the best thing about it, most of the film is horrible and v dated imo. party scene looks fun.
in reference to BaT that is
xp
idk if mordy meant moon river, there are darker possibilities

you can tell they were meant to be together because they are both wearing shapeless grey outfits
it's just such a bizarre movie. iirc a huge portion of the plot relies on ppl calling into radio shows?

i'm pretty sure any aging that affected Sleepless' status was done by the viewers
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 20:51 (eleven years ago)
well - i guess what i mean is that for many years i was told it was a classic of the genre and then i watched it and realized it was really really bad, even by the standard of contemporaneous rom-coms

so it ripped off Love Affair
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:00 (eleven years ago)
well they directly reference An Affair To Remember throughout the film, which was based on Love Affair
i wish he'd said something like "well christ if you want to leave me for a widower with a kid you've never met, who knows what bullshit you'd pull with an unattached co-worker in three years" rather than "follow your heart"
― da croupier, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:02 (eleven years ago)
and An Affair to Remember (a rotten movie), which ripped off LA

whoa I didn't even know the rollout had started
a lot of these I haven't seen or don't feel v strongly about, but I voted for Moonstruck & Muriel's Wedding :D
― SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:03 (eleven years ago)
my fave scenes in Moonstruck were between John Mahoney and Olympia Dukakis
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:05 (eleven years ago)
yeah they were fantastic -- Mahoney had such a small role but so memorable!!
― SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:27 (eleven years ago)
as 'romcoms' written by John Patrick Shanley go I prefer Five Corners, where John Turturro stalks Jodie Foster and throws his mama out the window.
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:30 (eleven years ago)
Five Corners is good, p odd movie
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:40 (eleven years ago)
I haven't seen Moonstruck, but Mahoney is also the key to Say Anything
― rob, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:49 (eleven years ago)
Moonstruck hits all the right notes for me, has a terrific cast...and I adore Cher.
― SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:58 (eleven years ago)
the best two parts of that movie:
"a bride without a head!" "a wolf without a foot!"
and:
"Bring me the big knife. I want to cut my throat." < which i love to quote

Everything I love about Gentlemen Prefer Blondes apparently has very little to do with Hawks (tho even the most recent re-watch didn't light my fire as the movie had in the past).

He's a jack-of-all-trades, silly... wait, that's MASTER of all. But you can't detect all his strengths in one genre.
