I'd give anything for it to be 1984 again, greatest times, me and my dad used to watch this and reenact the movie, best of times, I miss you 1984...I miss the way we were...
Hollywood is so political it's scary. Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts and Kim Basinger getting Oscars? Are you kidding? Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Kate Hepburn, Peck, Mitcham, Bogart, and the Hustons, those are Oscar actors. Only Hanks and Streep come close today. What's wrong with giving them the Oscar year after year if they deserve it instead of giving it to high school actors like Bullock and Roberts. Eric Roberts can act circles around his sister. Just look at RAGGEDY MAN.
@taypar11 I really miss it back then, the fucking world has gone to the toilet unfortunately, what a god damn shame...what the fuck happened??????????????????
Hard to improve on all the great things said about this film. I just love this movie. It epitomizes 'cool'. Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts were fantastic. It too was was the first time I heard Sinatra's classic (back around 1986). Now I can't remember not knowing it. Thanks for putting it up WYouBee21.
If you don't want to consider it an alternate take, that's your prerogative. But it's not the take that was included in the "Strangers in the Night" LP, nor on the 45. The version from the "Strangers in the Night" LP was the one used in the theatrical and dvd versions of the film. Whoever uploaded it here obviously re-edited it. But you're right, Frank revisited almost all of his songs over the years, with slightly different arrangements.
This is not an "alternate take"of Johnny Mercer's The Summer Wind! Sinatra made dozens of recordings of this popular song and not one was the same as the other. Sinatra improvised his melodies and you should make the point of collecting his music so you can hear his countless variations! Miles Davis said that Sinatra was one of the greatest improvisers of the 20th Century! Miles wasn't known for complimenting white boys for no reason!
Dude, why'd you sub out the original music track with an alternate? I can't even hear the answering machine or the Rourke's line about "don't cook" before he takes off to work.
Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts were ridiculous in this. These two guys lost more talent taking this morning's shit than actors like Mark Wahlberg could ever hope to possess in their entire lives.
Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts were ridiculous in this. These two guys lost more talent taking this morning's shit than actors like Mark Wahlberg could ever hope to possess in their entire lives.
Fantabulous movie and great story behind it with Mickey getting Stuart to direct post the prior director wanting to shitcan Eric and Rourke had the juice to do so.
@Hardliner1269 I always say that Eric Roberts got all the talent (and all the beauty!) in that family. I marvel that little sis Julia has a bigger film career. It isn't right.
@KellyGreen5555 Correct, indeed. From what I've read, she shadowed him when he was in Hollywood, slept with right folks to get ahead {Satisfaction, Mystic Pizza}, dissed Georgia Southern roots/erased accent, when he fell into drug dependency AFTER car accident, she turned her back on him, cut off communication. Once she dated/engaged all her costars, stole baby's daddy from his wife, she became Liberal to get the Oscar (undeserved}
@Hardliner1269 Agreed. Eric was dating Sandy Dennis in the early 1980's, and "Julie" would always tag along, hoping to catch a break. Eric landed her her first film (1986's Blood Red)
Julia abandons Eric in his darkest hour and won't speak to him for decades.
Another fact about America's Sweetheart: Julia Roberts has a nasty habit of parking her car in handicapped spaces!
@KellyGreen5555 Plus, as soon as she got the oscar for 'Erin Brokovich' {undeserved-it belonged to Joan Allen, Laura Linney, Juliette Binoche,or Ellen Burstyn--take a pick} she dumped Benjamin Bratt like the next day {3 mos. later}, she then broke up danny moder's marriage & married him. She has no scruples. She dumped lyle lovett when it turned out to be a drag for her. Now that Eric's daughter Emma is in the spotlight & Eric is doing the series 'Chuck' now she's trying to get back in picture.
@pdonster2 Last year the award belonged to Meryl Streep [Julie & Julia] --OR-- Carey Mulligan [An Education] who got more industry nominations/awards than her from powerful industry organizations.
@pdonster2 Yeah, you're right about Gabourey Sibidie deserving the Oscar. On Meryl Streep's defense, since 1992 the academy has snubbed her in favor of younger women when it definitely was her win. Usually the actress who wins must play a lesbian, killer, handicap, be very liberal, be foreigner, drug addict, or be in a film dealing with black racism
@pdonster2 This year it could have gone to Annette Bening because she plays a lesbian wife which is a Hollywood Plus for the Liberals --OR-- Natalie Portman because she is young [MANDATORY FOR A WIN] gorgeous [ A PLUS], the 'it' girl, pregnant from a foreigner Frenchman {A PLUS}, Jewish { A PLUS], plays a demented killer who has a death wish [ MANDATORY FOR A WIN ]
@pdonster2 Hollywood gives best actress to accents, black racism issues, foreigner, suicidal, drug addicts, liberal issues, diseased/illness/handicap, lesbian, killer, whistle-blower for liberal issues, young, dementia, victim {example rape, amputated finger}. Mark my words. I cross checked the list going back to 1983 AFTER Meryl won the award.
@pdonster2 Gabourey Sibidie from Precious fit Hollywood definition for Oscar because the role was black young victim of abuse & gets disease. But then the academy wanted it to go to Bullock because it was film about black racism in the South, interracial, accent, foster kid, homelessness. Precious situation was worse if you ask me. Gabourey deserved it more according to Hollywood Elite Standard but was Obese-a no no. Then Sandra kissed Meryl Streep on the lips to sway for the lesbian vote
@pdonster2 This year the oscar is supposed was supposed to go Annette Bening [The Kids Are All Right] [23 industry award nominations] --OR-- Jennifer Lawrence [Winter's Bone] [19 industry award nomations] but Hollywood always gives it to the 'IT' girl
@KellyGreen5555 Correct. Put it like this. Imagine Ferris Bueler-popular kid in school. Think Jennifer Grey-little sister, decides to copy brother & leaves southern Georgia, dismisses humble beginnings, starts showing up in studios where Ferris is doing films, sleeps around, hooks up with right click, gets small parts {Satisfaction/Mystic Pizza}. Ferris is in bad auto accident that leaves him in coma, gets drug addicted from meds, face is disfigured/body messed up. Sister takes over.
WHO'S THE IDIOT WHO TOOK OUT THE ORIGINAL TRACK BY SINATRA, REPLACED IT WITH THIS CRAPPY VERSION THEN GOT RID OF DIANE ON THE ANSWERING MACHINE AND CHARLIE'S FIRST DIALOGUE?????
@frickadele Interesting thought - this is a far inferior version of Sinatra's Summer Wind than the one they used in the original film. His voice is still awesome though.
Great film and one of the best opening scenes in any film. The great Eric Roberts --his career was fucked by his sister Julia. And the marvelous Mickey Rourke...great comeback in The Wrestler and now The Expendibles. Look for my ex -- the hat check gal..Randall.
I remember when this movie first came out,saw in the theater.Always loved it. It"s one of those movies i can watch a million times and never get tired of it. It turned out to be a CLASSIC !!
