I recently watched this. I remember seeing parts of it 20 or so years ago and thinking it was funny. It was much more serious than I had remembered. Hawn was nominated for an Oscar for best actress, but it went to Sissy Spacek for Coal Minor's Daughter. I guess I'll have to watch that one. This was also nominated for best screenplay, which is a little surprising since it's a pretty simple movie.

PB was an interesting movie, but Coal Miner's Daughter was clearly better. Sissy was at her finest in that one... (IMHO, of course.... ;) )

What the h are you talking about Mulli?!? I've seen Star Wars 100x, since I was 2 years old.

You might be thinking of Dirty Dancing, the Lethal Weapons or Beverly Hills Cops. :shrug:

What kind of communist has never seen Star Wars.

For F's sake, abomb. It's 2 hours out of your life. Is that too hefty a price to pay to for being a red-blooded american?
