Okay when you think back to characters from the 80s that were a couple that you absolutely fell in love with, who exactly comes to mind??
I definately think of Joe and Lisa from Fire with Fire.
I also think of Dan and Debbie from About Last Night..
Okay those are the two main ones that stick out in my head? Can you help me think of any others????? Posted by Mane1980 (Member # 4240) on :
Hi, I'm New in this forum.
About your question How about Mike/Elmo and Annie/Ally in Made in Heaven?

Valerie/Mac from Earth Girls Are Easy. Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
I definately like Joe and Lisa from Fire with Fire too.
Randy and Julie from Valley Girl have to be one of the best couples.
I love Jack and Ginny in the movie Liar's Moon.

I have never seen Liar's Moon. That is one that I know you have talked about a lot on here Lisa.
I had forgotten about Randy and Julie, how could I have done that??
I have seen Made in Heaven but it was a little to slow moving for me.

Jessie...you need to see Liar's Moon...I know you would love it. I don't know how anyone could not like it.
I just realized not long ago that the actress that plays Jack Duncan's(Matt Dillon) mom is Maggie Blye and she played Kristy McNichol's mom in Little Darlings. I always liked her as an actress.
It is the perfect movie...it is very sad...but they are so cute together, I think it is set in either the 40's or the 50's. I am not sure if they ever released it on DVD. I am going to have to look, cause it is one of my favorites. I should have put it on my top 15 favorites, and forgot.

I just looked it up on Ebay...you can get it on DVD for like $4.00. I just went and bought it for myself, cause I only have it on VHS.
Yippee...I am so glad I did that.

I haven't seen that many romantic movies, although I have seen movies with 2 people that have homoerotic ("Lethal Weapon") or Sapphic ("Beaches") overtones.
If I had to pick one, I would choose Frank Drebin and Jane Spencer from "The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad".
Sincerely,
John Kilduff

Exactly how is Leathal Weapon homoerotic John?
Posted by Mane1980 (Member # 4240) on :
I forgot about Randy and Julie from Valley Girl. Good Option.
How about Diane Court and Lloyd Dobler from Say Anythig..
Also Millie and Eric from The Boy who Could Fly. It is very sad but very cute.

Sorry I'm late...
It's one of my favorite movies (I did the page on it for the Rewind), but it's homoerotic because...well, most 80s action movies were. Although I'm a major conservative, I can see how people would construe movies with half-naked men and phallic guns as homoerotic.
Here's another example of what I mean:
Did you notice that in "Top Gun", the most Kelly McGillis did was unbutton her shirt while Tom Cruise, on the other hand, got oiled up and stripped down to his skivvies for a hearty all-male game of volleyball?
