Great film from 1984 directed by Robert Zemeckis & music by Alan Silvestri.
Kathleen Turner is romance writer Joan Wilder who travels to Columbia to find her kidnapped sister. She is detoured upon her arrival in Columbia and rescued by Jack T. Colton (Michael Douglas), who agrees to see her safely to her destination for a fee.
It was surprisingly hard to find any good clips from the film -
apparently FOX studios remove them as soon as they appear online.
The original trailer is one of the few clips I could find.
There has been buzz online for years now that a remake is in the works.
Hmmm, think it would all come down to the right casting.
The 80's original would be pretty hard to beat though.
I saw a photo of Michael Douglas the other day and was shocked at how old he looks...but, of course, I feel the same way every time I look in the mirror...LOL
ReplyDeleteI saw a pic of him recently too Dana and thought exactly the same thing. And I'm feelin' ya about the mirror thing too!! : )
DeleteGosh, Michael Douglas is almost handsome in these pics, although I have to admit I haven't seen the flick.
ReplyDeleteYes, he was great in the movie. Def worth a look if you don't mind abit of an 80's adventure rom/com type thing. : )
DeleteI love this movie! It was made the year before I was born, but I remember watching it as a little kid and thinking that it had the coolest story ever. Even though I don't really remember the 80's very well, I have a minor obsession with the movies from that decade. Seems like it would have been a really cool time to be a young person.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather! It's such a great movie isn't it? I love movies from the 80's too. Fun and easy to watch. xx
DeleteHa, too funny,hubby has this movie on the computer waiting for a night with nothing on tele (most nights)We both think it's better than The Jewel of the Nile,Is this the one with the plane wreck pot smoking?
ReplyDeleteHi Simmone! Yes - this is the one! I think it was better than the sequel as well. Yep - agreed that there is not much on to watch at the moment. Although, I have recently discovered 'Dance Moms' and I'm obsessed.
DeleteTragic, but true. xx
