James,
Many people on this site LOVE this movie, myself included. It's a classic! I like movies where they clear out parts of an entire city to film scenes...

I agree with you Jdocster, the film has a cool atmosphere because of that feeling in the streets. It's awesome when Samantha and Regina go shopping, to the song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Posted by james Andrews (Member # 1425) on :
How did you find it Mire Mare?
Posted by Mire Mare (Member # 5900) on :
Hi James I have to say a little disappointed, but then again I do have high expectations of most things! (ask the wife).
The story was good but the whole thing felt a little confined, considering the world was there oyster the location shots where ltd!
The mall was a prime example!
This was down to budget I'm sure but Day of the Dead managed to capture the same feeling much better!
Overall 7/10

I think I disliked it when I first saw it also, but after repeat viewings it's become one of my favourites. Samantha, when her gun jams: "Daddy would have gotten us Uzis." "What! You don't believe in Santa?".

I only saw it recently for the first time and I'm sure it's scope was limited by budget, but I thought it had a lot of charm 8/10

Did you watch it on the Sci-Fi channel Nick? They played it quite alot early this year and last year I think. Did any of you guys like the music?

I bought the USA DVD when it came out... There's just been sooooo much lovin' on these boards over the years that I just had to see it...
PS: Lovin' that movie poster too... Posted by Mane1980 (Member # 4240) on :
I bought it when it came out. The cover did not like tough.

It was just on SciFi maybe a month ago.
At first, i thought i wasn't a big fan of this movie but when i saw it again a month ago i really liked it.

Great great movie, it's pure 80's! I got the dvd, shame about no extras on it.

Posted by evilash (Member # 6155) on :
I hate it when there aren't any extras.

yes love the movie

one of my faves. Kelly Mahoney said she approached (the distributor)about doing all the extra's stuff but was snubbed. I think she is still looking into it for a possible blu-ray release ? ? ? ? ?

This is still a classic in my book, is it wrong to consider it a Christmas movie?
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
It’s available on Tubi to watch free. Also on my local library app (Kanopy). I have added it to my list. Saw it years ago. Due for a rewatch.

I know this is an 80's classic to many. But I just never could get into it. Especially strange considering how much of a B-Movie/Horror fan I am. But idk, just something about this one that never caught my fancy. *shrug

Haven't seen this one in forever but it's a great companion to Fast Times and Valley Girl. Also, doesn't it take place at Christmastime too??
