Terrance Malicks's 1973 classic Badlands

FlorentinePogen · 10-23-2019, 12:32 AM

Painful movie to rewatch but worth it for the incredible performances of Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk - Cassavetes' A Woman Under the Influence

Weird Science is a classic, one of my childhood favs. She was also in "Woman in Red" with Gene Wilder which was pretty damn funny.

When you said Red, I immediately thought of another very overlooked 80's comedy, The Man with One Red Shoe. That film was hilarious, anything with Dabney Coleman cracks me up. I guess he's retired now just like Gene Hackman. This one was one of Tom Hanks early leading comedy roles, came out in '85. He was great in those comedies. It also has Carrie Fisher, Jim Belushi, a beautiful Lori Singer and Charles Durning.

Fantastic movie.

9 to 5 is another classic Dabney Coleman movie.

I saw Willy Wonka the other day for the first time in a long time. The original not the awful Depp Wonka. It holds up so well. I cannot stand musicals but even I like the musical sections of it.

Baby's Day Out. I loved this film when I was a child.

A movie that came out in 1999 called Bowfinger is funny as hell. I saw it last night on one of the premium channels. I was never a big Eddie Murphy fan, didn't watch SNL in the early 80's, but he is so funny. It's actually a Steve Martin film, but it's not his usual type and Eddie also plays his own brother but has braces and talks like a white guy.

Steve plays a shady director trying to make a film in Hollywood with no budget. He selected Eddie Murphy as the star of his film, but Eddie doesn't know it, so everytime he's in public Steve's film crew tries to film Eddie and the other actors just think that Eddie doesn't like to work when he sees the camera.

There's a great supporting cast in the film, along with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy there is Heather Graham who is hot as usual along with Jamie Kennedy, Christine Baranski and small parts by Terrence Stamp and Robert Downey Jr.

Bowfinger is a classic. Not really much to recommend against it. Just about everyone would end up enjoying themselves.

Was listening to some podcasts the other day and I guess a few classic 80s comedies are now considered “problematic”

Revenge of the Nerds (date rape. Gay stereotypes)

Sixteen Candles (date rape and offensive stereotypes)
