I liked those movies. Kirstie Alley was in summer school.

I only saw parts of Desperately Seeking Susan and i thought it was pretty stupid.

37. Desperately Seeking Susan with Madonna & Rosanna Arquette

42. Q&A with Nick Nolte & Timothy Hutton
-Involving crime drama, great acting. Some might find it boring.

46. St Elmo's Fire with Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy
-Very '80s dated, but worth a watch just for the actors.

47. About Last Night with James Belushi, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore
-Funny, most people seem to like it.

49. Masquerade with Rob Lowe
-Good movie that few have seen.

I haven't seen many of those, but Desperately Seeking Susan and St. Elmo's Fire are great movies! I love 80s movies and these two are right up there as favorites.

I think I saw Summer Rental...*shrugs* not sure

I watched Romancing the Stone at the beach, but I wasn't really paying that much attention to it so I thought it was stupid.

I looooooooooved Desperately Seeking Susan...it was really cute.

I thought Rocky 2 was terrible!!! Of the five Rocky movies, it was my least favorite. It was like watching a bad two hour soap opera. If you're going to check out the Rocky movies, I recommend part one, five, and three. Those were the best in my opinion.

Crimson and Clover
08-16-2003, 02:10 AM
anything with Sidney Poitier is great

I already saw Rocky III & V. I think Rocky III & IV are the best ones. Doesn't Jessica Lange play in The Postman Rings Twice?

I think the last movie Wilder and Radner were in together was Haunted Honeymoon.

74. The Godfather II with Al Pacino & Robert De Niro
Excellent

75. Serpico with Al Pacino
Good. But I don't love it.

76. Midnight Run with Robert De Niro & Charles Grodin
Everything about it is great.

77. Raging Bull with Robert De Niro
Brilliant stuff.

78. Taxi Driver with Robert De Niro
Compelling.

79. The Accused with Kelly McGillis & Jodie Foster
Never saw. Friends say it was very good.

80. The Road Warrior with Mel Gibson(I love the first Mad Max)
Never a Max fan, but supposedly better than the first.

81. The Secret Of My Success with Michael J Fox
Have a soft spot for this one. OK, a bit of fun.

82. Quick Change with Bill Murray, Geena Davis, Randy Quaid
Ok.

83. Wild At Heart with Nicolas Cage & Laura Dern
Can't believe I've never seen this. Lynch is a kook, so I'm sure it's good with these actors.

84. National Lampoon's European Vacation with Chevy Chase
Not so good, but you'll see it anyway.

85. Caddyshack with Bill Murray
Absolute classic. I could quote the entire movie. I'm almost numb to the comedy from having seen it so many times.

86. Caddyshack II with Chevy Chase(wasn't Dan Aykroyd & Bill Murray in this one too?)
Piece of crap. And no Murray.

94. Heathers with Christian Slater & Winona Ryder
Great movie. All around fun.

95. Donnie Brasco with Al Pacino & Johnny Depp
Good, not great.

96. Copland with Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta
Better than what I heard. A little quiet. Ray Liotta is awesome in his role.

98. Philadelphia with Tom Hanks & Denzel Washington
Have to see at least once. Hanks is awesome, Denzel too.

100. Traffic with Dennis Quaid, Don Cheadle, Michael Douglas
Good stuff, some people object to the diverse storylines- though they do connect- but in many ways an exceptional movie.

101. The Blues Brothers with Dan Aykroyd & John Belushi
Good movie. Not great, I don't care who claims that.

I saw Body of Evidence, and I dont know what u call explicit but I only remember seeing her breast, but the scene where she pores candlewax on his body was sort of explicit. I also remember one scene where.....um I'd better not say lol but I can PM u if u want...
