Moonstruck (1987)
WELL DESERVED OSCAR FOR CHER
Loretta recently lost her husband and she thinks it's because of "BAD LUCK", and she believes this bad luck will follow her the rest of her life. But, after a while she decides to get married again; to Johnny Cammareri (Danny Aiello). The only thing is he asks her to invite his brother to the wedding; the brother he hasn't spoken to in years because of "Bad Blood" When she goes to see him, she is instantly attracted to him, and it goes on from there.
I must admit that although I'm not crazy about Cher's music, she is definitely one of America's most underrated actors. She so deserved her Oscar for Moonstruck. This is one of my favorite movies and I watch it at least 2 or 3 times a year. Olympia Dukakis was hilarious as Cher's mother, and her line about kicking the old man til he's dead makes me laugh no matter how many times I see that scene.
This movie is incredibly endearing and the characters (just about all of them) will steal your heart. If you haven't seen this movie, by all means, get to the video store and rent it NOW !! I, on the otherhand, have it on DVD and VHS, so I can watch it anytime (and I do often).

Red Shoe Diaries (1992)
Heart Wrenching Love Story
My husband says I am way too picky about movies and maybe I am. But, for some reason this movie really gets to me. It's kinda like Bridges of Madison County, but with a highly erotic twist. Maybe I love this movie because I know what it's like to be with a nice guy who is so in love with you (and you love him), but there's this BAD BOY who draws you in like a sexual magnet; and it tears your heart having to choose. Not being able to choose between her two lovers, Brigitte Bako (Alex) decides to end her life. Did she leave her diary behind for Jake to find? I wonder. Anyway, if you like erotic movies where someone is torn between two lovers, then this movie is for you. If you think those kind of movies are CRAP, then do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY!! In general I don't think guys would like this movie. I, however, have always loved this movie and have waited for years for it to come out on DVD, and it finally has.
