Cocktail

Well, here's an oldie but goodie. I don't even want to guess at how many years it's been since I've watched Cocktail. I used to watch it all the time though. I love love love the soundtrack. My cousin and I used to listen to it all the time--I think it's how I was introduced to the Beach Boys.

The poem that young Brian Flannigan recites always cracks me up--of course partly that's because he mentioned drinks like Sex on the Beach and the Orgasm, and I was like 9. Well, 9 when the movie came out. Here's hoping that my parents didn't actually let me watch it when I was that young. Of course my little sister's favorite movie at the age of 9 was Pretty Woman. That's pretty much my fault though, 'cause I watched it all the time, at the ripe old age of 14. But that's for a later post.

I love how Brian works really hard to make something of himself, and learns that fast and easy is not the best way to get to the top and stay there. Here's hoping that I can take that advice, and find my Flugalbinder out there somewhere.

And if you're still keeping track, Elizabeth Shue is now connected to Kevin Bacon... and so is everyone else from Adventures in Babysitting, Back to the Future, and the Karate Kid. :)
