...........even though i've seen it a million times.....every time it's on tv it still sucks me in...and here is why I think it does.......
God dang sexy Harrison Ford!.......oh Jack Trainer and your half smiles.
Joan Cusack was a Jersey girl before it was cool!
Weaver was so awful!!! like just awful! she couldn't push around the dim sum?
some of the best lines.....
"I am not steak....you can not just order me"
"Can I get you anything?, coffee, tea, me?"
"now get your, what did you call it? boney ***.....get your boney *** out of my sight"
I really loved Melanie Griffith and I know some may disagree but when she cuts her hair she was just an 80's fox!
Let the rivvvvvvvvvver ruuuuuuuuuun......who doesn't get up and cheer at the end?........go Tess!!
honestly this song always gets stuck in my head now The Members- Working Girl even though it's only the title.....
Well I know it's because I grew up with Working Girl........but it always sucks me in every time....it makes me happy and smile.........oh so you all don't agree? not even a little? what are you throwing at me? rotten tomatoes? ha Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Muffy.. I do enjoy "Working Girl" and Melanie Griffith is so very great as Tess. I don't own it, but definitely watch it if I catch it on one of the movie channels.
Great write-up and pics.
What's the famous quote? Something like.. "I have a head for business and a bod for sin".. ha.. maybe
I always like the wacky way she came up with the idea for the merger!
And Joan Cuscack is a scene stealer with those outrageous looks!

That is the precise quote. And it is asked by Tess McGill to Jack Trainer in the bar.

Thanks Val! How could I forget the best quote from the movie!! lol and one of the best parts!
Atomik i'm excited to see what you think of it......it's really just a great girlpower movie with lots of 80's greatness. Well maybe not even so much girlpower...but the littleman with brains beats the bitch! yeah! love it!
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Just watched the movie and it was great!
Damn, Melanie was sexy, never too shy to show her body and i love that BIG 80s hair
That short Kevin Spacey scene was hilarious and the Carly Simon theme tune "Let the River Run" fits like a glove.
This movie is soooo 80s, i love it
Muffy, have you seen the 12 episode Working Girl tv-series starring Sandra Bullock as Tess McGill? I would love to see it!
Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
I'm so glad you liked it Atomik!
I saw that picture when I was hunting for pics....no i've never even heard of it....it's probaly bad and a comedy lol

Hey Muffy, this movie is always one I like watching as well.
I'm not a Melanie Griffith fan at all, but she was charming in this one. I do like Harrison Ford's character a lot though! And I had once read that Joan Cusack was nominated for some awards for her role as well, but I never really understood that because to me she didn't do much?
The ending is just the best, from the moment outside the elevator, and on.. Posted by cindymancini (Member # 679) on :
Umm, I've never seen this but I think I'll add it to my Netflix queue now! Thanks Muffy for another great suggestion !
P.S. Joan is scaring me a little in that pic! LOL!! Posted by The Good Package (Member # 9492) on :
i bet bullock did a good job on that show

thread Muffy! Not seen the movie, but the idea of Sigourney Weaver armed with a quiver of pithy one-liners sounds good.
Posted by Logan 5 (Member # 1467) on :
Weaver rules this movie. Classic.
Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
Kash you haven't seen it?! you gotta......you'd love it!
Logan bud, nice to see you back! Oh Weaver makes me cringe......I wanna kick her butt! arghhhhh
Even her Warhol-like prints make me laugh.

A definite favorite of mine! I've watched it sooo many times. Great movie! I didn't know there was a tv series based on it with Sandra though. I'll have to see if I can find it anywhere. =)
