I walked by Mark Harmon in Westwood a week or so ago. He's very, very, very short.

I would have loved to been in that summer school class. call me insane but I just watched "One Crazy Summer" yesterday. It was on one of the HBO's. That is such a cheezy cute movie too...

Demi Moore and a very very young John Cuszak... It was about a two buddies that go to spend a summer in a New england town and all the wackiness that ensues.. they help Demi Moore save her grandpa's house from being turned into a sprawling resort area..

there are some really wacky characters... like Billie Bird who plays this really insane grandma... and a really tore up dog ...... was cute..

stupid comidies in the 80's were fun... maybe i just feel more connected to them because i actually went to see them in the movie theater....

I was the one compelled to admit in a review for MousePlanet that I have a special place for Can't Buy Me Love.

I think it is mostly that teen movies are generally pretty stupid unless you're a teen when you first see them. And then they imprint and every generation ends up thinking their teen movies were the best while those of other (particularly later) generations are unbelievably stupid.

Oh, you don't need to describe that movie to me. One crazy summer I watched One Crazy Summer at least once a week. I loved, loved, loved that adorable movie, very much in the spirit of Better Off Dead - was it made by the same people? The cone dog! The girls with the faces that got "stuck that way". Ah!

I loved his friend George Years later, I was canvassing door to door and who should open their front door but Joel Murray. I believe the first words out of my mouth were, "One Crazy Summer!" He smiled and was very, very cordial. Gave me $80 too.

Oh my golly goodness y'all are discussing films that I love! How have I missed this Thread?

I LOVE Summer School. And Can't Buy Me Love. And a special shout-out to Back To The Beach!! My Mom just bought me Back To The Beach on DVD not that long ago. Swoon..I still think Zed, the villainous surf-gang leader, is tasty.

I ♥ 80's teen flicks. Especially ones that starred Molly Ringwald. Or Kim Cattrall as a mannequin.

My boyfriend & I just watched Animal House on some cable channel. I think it was my zillionth viewing. "Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? No!"

Heh, I'll cop to liking Summer School.

[innerSpaceman]

Yes, GD, you hated what almost EVERYONE considers the primo best Spider-Man movie, and admit to liking Summer School.


Your opinions are, hmmm, unique. Nothing wrong with that. Just sayin'.

Hmm, I don't recall ever saying I hated Spiderman II. (but for the record, the first one's got a higher rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so that kinda blows that theory out of the water).

I love that movie. Shawnee Smith in a pre-boob job state (see the new boobs in Becker), Wonderdog (I think that was his name), driver's ed, horror movie fake-out. Good times.

I liked Illusionist, too. Not ultra-fabulous, but nice. Just got Marie on Netflix and watched the first half. Like it so far. Music is wonderful. Versailles. Shoes. Pastries. It takes a little long to transition scenes which is sometimes good, sometimes boring. We'll see my final opinion once I watch the rest.

Oh, sorry, I'm mixing up my haters. GD, I now recall, simply liked Spidey1 better than 2.


And, ok yeah, I like Summer School a lot.

I loved Spiderman 2.
