I love the 80's cover art!

 -

A man meets a woman at a gym who turns out to be from his 8th grade class. She had been voted "Best legs" in his class, and he thinks she looks gorgeous now. The chance meeting causes him to reflect on his life up until then and the choices he's made, including how his current girlfriend pales by comparison.

Uh-oh! Sounds interesting, I thought. I sort of feel like I've overplayed the usual 80's movies (with the exception of my favorites, of course) and I have been looking for some obscure titles lately. I know this one was made for tv in the 80s.. I did a search here and nothing came up.

Another cover I found...
 -

Did anyone catch this back in the day? The reviews aren't that good, but what does that matter, when it comes to the 80's movies we tend to like? [Smile]

I do not even vaguely remember this one but it is definitely viewable with Belushi and Matheson in it. The leg thing sounds intriguing also. Is that chick on the poster really her. It looks like her head was put on someone elses body.

Jesus... you're on a roll! Another hidden treasure! The cast sounds good and the plot sounds passable... so why is it not well-known? Junk? Lost because it was made for TV? Let's hope it's the latter...

Hey Ronnie.. I saw this on HBO back in the 80's .. it was definitely cute, but it had more of a sitcom episode feel than a movie in my opinion. Worth picking up if you can find cheap.

Tim Matheson is great in it.

Ronnie .. I could be wrong about the HBO thing .. but it was like a stage play - short film and that just seemed like something I would have watch on there.

Dunno... I kind of like movies that feel like plays. It makes me want to see it even more!

Devolution here,

I totally remember this TV movie. I haven't thought about it in forever. Man, I remember the conversation, and I remember the bike. Wow, that's weird.

WE are DEVO
