80's Movies

So, last weekend there was nothing on TV. Gene left the TV on a random movie channel, and "Working Girl" came on. Much to my dismay, I was drawn to it and then had to watch the entire thing.

The big hair, shoulder pads, and horrible makeup were pretty entertaining. But overall this movie was just bad. Why in the world did we think these movies were so great at the time? I think it is interesting how the humor of any given culture changes over time.

This movie had a serious A-list cast: Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, Melanie Griffith, Joan Cusack, Alec Baldwin, Kevin Spacey. And, it was nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress in a Leading Role, and Best Actress in a Supporting Role. WHAT?!

Gotta' love those 80's movies...
