I really liked this video! There is something kind of dreamy about beachy B&W. I think she's gorgeous here...she never seems to be too "done" in any of these shots. And her acting is pretty good here too.
This also reminds me that I'm seeing Chris Isaak in concert in August! :)
Big thanks for rounding out what I'll be watching the rest of the afternoon - Chris Isaak is the man. (Damn you Showtime, when will you release a Chris Isaak Show box set?!)
@labeled: Guarantee you music licensing is the hold up. Well, that and probably only three of us wanting it and I only want the season where Bridget Fonda showed up.
Woooooow. I'm not really a big movie fan but I know enough to know that this a classic. They just don't make movies like Beaches anymore. I've never heard of anyone even disliking this movie, let alone calling it one of the worst movies ever made!
I made my best friend watch it for the first time about a month ago. She's Australian and I'm American, so the majority of our friendship is spent apart. We both cried for the entire last 1/4th of the movie.
My only complaint is the actress they had for Victoria..ew. How can you hate this movie?!?!?!?
@jessacecilia: I can see not liking it if you dislike Bette Midle (what?!) or super-sentimental films. Or are not a lady, I guess. Or hate friends, New York, the '70s and '80s and the beach.
Calling it "one of the worst movies ever made," however, means either you're prone to hyperbole or you've only seen a handful of movies and they were pretty good ones.

I am apparently very grumpy today. But yes, she does look very pretty.

But... there are dozens of us.. maybe even twenty or more... Or, yk, you're right. But you know that still makes us cooler than everyone else.

And I can't decide who I dislike more, Bette Midler or Barbara Hershey and her collagen injections.

Jeez. Seriously?
