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?

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

SIS would've been approved with Edward Everett Horton and Lew Ayres as the leads.

i can't remember for sure but i'm pretty sure meg ryan just, like, left bill pullman with the check in a restaurant after she got him to agree she should call off their engagement and go meet a stranger at the top of the empire state building

so it ripped off Love Affair

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"

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 (nine years ago) link
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 (nine years ago) link
yeah they were fantastic -- Mahoney had such a small role but so memorable!!
― SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:27 (nine years ago) link
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 (nine years ago) link
Five Corners is good, p odd movie

I haven't seen Moonstruck, but Mahoney is also the key to Say Anything

Moonstruck hits all the right notes for me, has a terrific cast...and I adore Cher.

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
