1983 movie starring Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay, rate it.

Good not great.  Good intro to boobs is what i remember best!-

 

[jon_mx]

Hot slutty girl always hold up well.  

 

[MikeIke]

Above average but not an all-time classic. I give it a 7. 

 

[Christo]

It's an All-Time Classic.

 

[Skipdog77]

I thought this was going to be one of your bathhouse stories.

Movie's ok, I guess.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Perfectly average 80s movie. 

 

[Hov34]

A preponderance of bass.

 

[The General]

Sometimes you just gotta say what the ####.

[fantasycurse42]

Yep.

You agree with him, yet you're at an 8 while he's at 5.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

In the overall Parthenon of movies I would say a 7.

Throw in the nostalgia factor (which I normally don't like doing) it moves up to a 7.6.

Lol...I read it as "perfectly AGED 80s movie" at first.  My bad.

And by nostalgia I don't mean "oh I loved it as a teen!".

I mean that it was a pretty good portrayal of 80s teens...or at least the rich kids.

 

[eoMMan]

I don't think I've seen this one. Is Rebecca Demorney a call girl that Cruise hires?

JFC yes.

Realted

My 27 year old nephew just admitted he has never seen Pulp Fiction or Saving Private Ryan.

No, she's his nanny, but it turns out she's evil and wants to have sex with Cruise's dad and tries to kill his mom. At one point she gets away in a speedboat with $2 million in bearer bonds, but Danny Glover busts her just before she reaches Cuban waters.

4/10 imo, not very much nudity but great music.

 

[joffer]

solid 7.5. rounded up.

 

[Ilov80s]

One of the better movies of the 80s and maybe kind of under appreciated today.

 

[saintfool]

One of Cruise's better movies because he wasn't "Tom Cruise". Beyond that it's a fun, well done 80's movie with terrific score.

Looks like the University of Illinois

Of course you didn't love it as a teen. You were already eligible for social security when it came out

This sounds like The Hand that Rocks the Cradle meets Lethal Weapon 2.

 

[Ilov80s]

Plus it has one of the better character actors of the 80s-90-00s in Joe Pantoliano plus Curtis Armstrong who is great

I've got a trig midterm tomorrow, and I'm being chased by Guido the killer pimp

Also, it doesn't get more early 80s than this 

It was great the way her mind worked. No guilt, no doubts, no fear. None of my specialties. Just the shameless pursuit of immediate gratification. What a capitalist.

Love to see @otb_lifer 's top 10 list. You've got Snatch as a 3, Inglourious Basterds as a 1, and now Risky Business as a 1 https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/topic/754439-rate-these-two-movies/#comment-19921306

Risky Business is a vastly underrated 1980s coming of age movie that sadly, people almost solely remember for the "dancing in the underpants" scene(although iconic.....it's kind of lame).  Great soundtrack, well writen dialogue that holds up today..... It's a little yuppish.....but what wasn't in the 1980s?
