Look Who's Talking (1989)

[postmodel]

Yes!!! I wonder if Heckerling will touch upon George Segals character being based on Harold Ramis. That’s such a crazy story.

Blind Date is one of the very few romantic comedies I'll watch, and it's CRIMINALLY underrated. Aside from the leads doing a great job in their roles, every side actor steals the show for whichever fewer scenes they have. Phil Hartman was MADE to play a sleazy used car salesman, John Larroquette constantly crashing into things was probably the inspiration for "Home Alone", and of course William Daniels is sarcasm/condescension incarnate. I was lucky enough to see this as a kid because my mom had it on a tape alongside Die Hard (so a Bruce Willis double feature) and it's only gotten funnier as I grew up. I was with my parents just this last weekend and as we were driving home, a James Brown song played on the radio. So of course I punched this up and gave my parents a good laugh:

Funny... I always thought of Hudson Hawk as more of a tragedy.

That's when you should've said "even better, she can rock my world and then buy us beer!" I always had a little thing for her too, I think everyone of certain age did.

[McCrutchy]

I, uh...remember having a thing for Olympia Dukakis someone in these movies (Kirstie was cute but not old enough for me, yet).

And before anyone else posts it (0:40):

Great movie and excellent soundtrack.

[Slashman78]

Yay! Bummer about the lack of any other features though.. this was a mega hit for Tristar they coulda at least included TV spots or anything promotional. Hope at least 2 gets put out as well.. 3's awful so I don't really need it but I always loved 2 as a kid.

Really? She wasn't that old then lol.. she so perfect for a solid 12 years, 1985-1997 or so she was hands down one of the sexiest women in Hollywood. Having her in anything was a steal. Shame she let it slip away.. still love her though she's one of my faves.

This was the pre-MILF era, when teenage boys only wanted to get with teenage girls.

Few things make me angrier than when a formerly-gorgeous celeb either lets themselves go to the point where they become a disgusting blob (Alley), or else starve themselves until they look like an anorexic twig (Jennifer Connelly) After Cheers ended, Alley took a sharp nosedive, and it's tragic.

Where's Look Who's Talking Too? Gimme a double pack

I'm totally picking this up, though.

Kirstie Alley was a hottie. Loved her in Summer School and Madhouse. I adored this movie as a kid. It’s nice that Sony is finally releasing it on blu ray. Now can we get a 20th Anniversary Edition of SLC Punk! Pleeeease?

[TwinCitiesBluFan]

Awesome! This was a favorite of mine as a kid and I often rented it from the grocery store (hey, that's where we rented movies then ). Really looking forward to this release!

[prkchopexpress]

i’m surprised there are so many fans of this. i saw this in the theatre when i was little, and a lot on hbo when i was young, but i would never watch this again.

but hey. older movies getting released is still good,

Watch it again. It's easy to forget that this is a late 80's/early 90's pg-13 film and with that in mind is much more adult than you may remember. (This style of PG-13 film just doesn't seem to be made much anymore). It actually holds up remarkably well. My 6 year old daughter loves this one and likes the 2 sequels well enough (primarily because she loves babies) and the more adult humor makes it a fun watch as an adult.

On the topic of Summer School, it's a a total 80s classic. A lot of people probably don't know that it was co-written by Full House creator Jeff Franklin. He also was a writer for the screenplay of Just One of the Guys and obviously produced a lot of tv shows.

It's still pretty wild that a scene like this is in a PG-13 movie, even if it is in a 'comedic' context:

Agreed. I like the movie more now than I did as a kid.
