Best of Showgirls. I have always thought Elizabeth Berkley got a raw deal in that she was ostracized by the industry because of too much nudity in the movie. I know the pool sex is comical but I appreciate her willingness to get naked.

reply

She's a beautiful woman and average actress (but that's the majority of Hollywood). And you're right, her ostracization really does show the hypocrisy of the industry. Considering Eszterhas' script and Verhoeven's direction, they were clearly aiming for a very over the top movie. She went "all in" the same way that Channing Tatum did for Magic Mike. But while he was rewarded, she was criticized.

Just picturing Clint and Robin in a movie made me laugh. Can you imagine the annoyed looks Eastwood would've given Williams?

reply

Correct. Just thinking of the one word Clint would use on a Williams witticism, I settled on wonderful.

Holly Golightly has married an architect. It is only when their twelve year old son witnesses his father and a man named Connor gun down an associate and his men that they discover that he is in reality a mob enforcer. They must go on the run, as Connor has decided to kill them all to leave no loose ends, and although the father's mobster boss would normally protect him he will not do so now because Connor is his son. As they flee the couple recalls, in non-sequential flashbacks, their first meeting, memorable moments in their courtship and early wedded life, their travels through Europe, their broken vow never to have children, and their increasing tensions that led to both of them having extra-marital affairs.

Two for the Road to Perdition ;)

The second one is one of my all time favorites. And one of the best movies ever made about fathers and sons.

And if you happen to be an Audrey Hepburn fan, you might enjoy this story. Fair warning: You might get a little misty-eyed!

That's the title!

Thanks for the link; Hepburn is one of my all-time retro-crushes. Nice story but I didn't tear up. I'm level headed about such things, she was always way out of my league.

reply

From what I've read about her, she was just as lovely a human being as she was an actress.
