Cass, OMG. I am rolling on the floor... "Is he eating at this point?" Oh, man... so funny. RED MAN.. Chewing tobacco.

The guy who created the computer program is Sabrina’s dad, the chaeuffer, from the remake. I can’t believe it took you that long to recognize Whitey. I initially thought it was edited out because I thought his voice was so recognizable and you’d have known it was him immediately.

As with several of these movies, it's been a while since I've seen this one. I've always enjoyed it, but it is very 80's. The two guys in the beginning are John Spencer and Michael Madsen. They would become more popular in future movies; I had no idea they were in this. The one thing about the movie that I find least believable is that they let the kid take control in the end, instead of the professor. I'm sure they wanted to keep broad appeal and the PG rating. Seeing Matthew Broderick and John Wood together makes me think of "Ladyhawke."

The MNF watching scene is hilarious!!

Surprised it was #1 I have seen it .

Cassie

yes it did

Carlos Stevens

"it's the microphone..." Some how... I'm skeptical.

Mannygogou

oh I was trying to figure out whose face that was...

Chris B.

Was just coming to bring this up, sad news but at the same time: what a time he had in this life, and now I'm sure he's being welcomed into the next adventure by some of his old friends from the program, such as the Apollo 1 crew.

Jim Lovell, the Commander of Apollo 13, passed away today at age 97(!). I know the movie of the same name with Tom Hanks really moved Cassie. Lovell actually had a cameo in that as the admiral who meets the Apollo 13 crew on the carrier deck. God's speed, sir, and thank you for your service and leadership.

What a good list. My favorites off your list: THE PHILADEPHIA STORY OUT OF SIGHT (George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez) THE HORSE WHISPERER (Scarlett Johansson at 13 years old) THE ENGLISH PATIENT

Winter came for Cassie last night...she started GoT. 😳

A random list of Romance/Romatic Comedies/Star-Crossed Romances that Cassie has yet to see. (ADDED: Cassie and Carly — knowing your long-abiding Health Ledger love/swoonage, CASSANOVA is a very underated film that you must see somewhere along the way, whether for The Channel™ or in the screening room with your gfs/female cousins).

+1 for Urban Cowboy +1 for The Philadelphia Story As for modern 'non-traditional' romances, I suggest: -Lost in Translation (2003) -Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I would like to see more romance on the channel.

Johnny Salinas

A good one for Father's Day next could be Max Dugan Returns 😀 Matthew Broderick is a kid in that one as well

Brian McGovern

I thought she had already done this one. Maybe I watch too many reactors who have done this one. TBR Schmitt, JustSumm, Christie reacts are the only ones I watch.

TheSingulatarian

That guy you recognized but didn't recognize was on "The West Wing" perhaps that's where you know him from.

TheSingulatarian

Cassie and Carly were bemoaning recently the lack of modern romance or romantic comedies. So, I say look back young woman look back. On the Town The Philadelphia Story In the Good Old Summertime Marty Easter Parade The Band Wagon Love Story The Way We Were Murphy's Romance An Affair to Remember Urban Cowboy And many, many more.

ArsTropica

A lot of that uncertainty back then came from an information vacuum. Take away the internet and this seems very plausible.

TheSingulatarian

There was also "The Invisible Boy" (1957) and other rampaging robot movies like "Gog" (1954).

Chris Davis

I hope her next '80's movie will be my Pick, "Best of Times" with Robin Williams and Kurt Russell....I won't rest until she sees this movie!!!

Bill W

This came out in June '83. Five months later we'd have another cinematic nuclear scare: made for tv movie "The Day After" (starring Jason Robards) aired on ABC. Sobering to say the least.

Bill W

The original Mac Guyver.

3 people. Art La Fleur (The Sandlot, Field of Dreams) died in 2021. Also, Dabney Coleman died last year.

Cory H

Cassie, I like that you recognized that this was Whitey from OTH!

Michael Siegel

You're younger than me -- I was 13 when this came out -- and it came in a context where we were expecting a nuclear war to break out at any moment. So this movie felt all too real. Watching it again with you shows that it has aged quite well (unlike some 80's movies). Just solid performances, musics and directing all around.

Chris

Seeing this on a movie screen with all the flashing towards the end was amazing! I loved this movie as a young man (it may have had something to do with how cute Ally Sheedy was)..
