One of the best movies that the 80's has to offer!

Ok I've only seen this as a kid and thought Kilmer's character was annoying (he has such a blahness to him) but take that was my impression as a kid.
And every guy friend of mine quotes this movie all the time...Especially the Deborah Foreman line....and I still need to watch it.....so let us know when you do Miss Mia

Get the movie, get ready to laugh. Some of the best lines and quotes from the 80s came out of this movie...
Don't worry about popcorn, it's provided... Posted by Spreadking (Member # 7280) on :
filled with envy, that you get to enjoy it for the 1st time.
but there's nothing better than enjoying it the 100th time.

"Okay, Kent, but I don't think that's going to help your confidence any, do you?"

Sorry, I've had to report you to the Police for that.
Real Genius is terrific and has one of the most uplifting endings in movie history. It's got great lines, great performances and a great 80's score. Ok, maybe that's overselling it. It's a B-movie, but it's a really good B-movie. Better than 'Weird Science' (in my opinion).

I've never seen it either.
I'll pick up a copy and let you know what I think.

Please do, but first, let me take this moment to compliment you on your fashion sense, particularly your slippers. Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :

I think the young people enjoy it when I "get down" verbally, don't you?

Take it back!!! Posted by journey (Member # 7316) on :
Blasphemy! Jay Lee needs some forced attrition for that remark.
Posted by jdocster (Member # 5752) on :
OK. Here's what we do... We'll all meet outside JAY LEE's house. I'll bring the movie, journey, you bring the pizza, 80srocked you bring the popcorn, mama you bring the beer, the rest of you need to distract JAY LEE long enough to put the movie on... Then.....
Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
If you have food and beer, I guess I could give it another chance!
Although I have watched it 4 or 5 times, and have never been that impressed. It's not awful..... just... blaaah!
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
That's too bad Jay Lee, which do you prefer more Top Secret or Real Genius?
Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
Then I would probably say Real Genius, Cuz i didn't like Top Secret at all:)

Sounds good to me....I'll bring "extra" beer too....as if there's such a thing. Posted by journey (Member # 7316) on :
You guys can meet me inside. I'm gonna just do a Lazlo Hollyfeld and emerge from Jay Lee's closet with the pizza in hand. Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
You can never go wrong with "extra beer". I have been telling my husband for YEARS its better to have too much than not enough. After all "its not like its gonna go bad"!

I caught the second half of this movie last night. I hadn't seen it in a long long time (but watched it several times as a kid). Man, I forgot how great it is. I also forgot how many montages there are in this movie!! Amazing. Fun fact I realized after trying to think where I knew Lazlo from....Uncle Rico from Napoleon!!
Posted by TerdNthePoolGGB (Member # 9818) on :

Posted by gordongecko (Member # 4685) on :
You know it!! It was almost like watching it for the first time again. I kind of knew what was going to happen but didn't know the details. It was so fun.
