Risky Business (25th Anniversary Edition)

Happy with purchase--perfect

Saw this when I was 18 at the theater. Thought it’d be fun to revisit. Safe to say I’ve outgrown the genre. But it was fun to rewatch and remember that night in the 80’s

Classic.

We--much older than target audience-- had fun watching this unoffensive and light movie. Good to see Tom Cruise's talent in his early years.

While no Academy Award Winner, I'd forgotten what a great movie this is!This was THE movie of 1983, for anyone remotely near their teenage years at the time. Has it really been nearly 30 years? It's easy to bury this in a sea of teenage coming-of-age comedies that were the rage at that time, but this one's a stand-out!The movie that made Tom Cruise's career (well before he became a wack-a-doo tabloid-fodder Scientologist talk-show freak, LOL!). This movie was basically a "first" for several up-coming '80's actors like Bronson Pinchot ("Beverly Hills Cop"), Curtis Armstrong ("Revenge of the Nerds", "Moonlighting"), Joe Pantoliano ("The Soprano's"), in addition to the lovely Rebecca DeMornay ("Hand That Rocks the Cradle") and, of course, Cruise. The "Stars" (actually not yet quite stars), DeMornay and Cruise, deliver honest performances: you actually believe they are who they're portraying! DeMornay in particular is a standout as a gorgeous, young street-wise yet vulnerable "lady of the night".Amazing vid and audio quality for a shoe-string budget '80's flick. I've never seen this movie look this good! The moody Tangerine Dream synth soundtrack melds well interspersed with some good 'ole Rock 'n Roll. While the cars, clothes, hairstyles and "props" may be dated, the movie has aged remarkably well. While there is a certain sense of nostalgia to the piece...for those of us who lived throught the period and were of the same age as the featured actors...you tend to forget that its 1983 and just enjoy the movie.Lots of great movie quotes and memorable scenes abound amongst the outrageous storyline, and they throw in a bunch of extras features, like a "making of" documenatry, alternate ending, trailer, etc...all mostly in HD (except the Cruise/DeMornay Screen test, which was videotaped at the producer's house). There's also the obligatory comment track by Cruise, the producer, etc.While clearly a reflection of the Reaganomics capitalistic mindset pervasive in the early '80's, this is a movie that, IMHO, will resonate with many generations, not just those Baby and post-Baby Boomers who saw this first run! This "adolescent" comedy is quite a bit darker and much more substantive than the typical ilk that abounded at that time.Highly Recommmended!

Exactly as expected

Cute movie, lots of humor

I remember this being funny. It was outdated and old

Great Tom Cruise earlier movie!!

Un classico della commedia con un giovanissimo Tom Cruise.

Joel, Sohn reicher Eltern schrottet den Wagen seines Vaters und zieht mit dem "leichten" Mädchen Lana, während seine Eltern auf Reisen sind, lockere Geschäfte im Haus seiner Eltern auf, um die Reparatur des Wagens bezahlen zu können. Witzig, und für die Männer die traumhafte Rebecca de Mornay, für die Frauen Tom Cruise, was will man mehr.

トムクルーズの青春ドラマだけど、なぜか無性に見たくなった。そしてある意味ガッカリし、ある意味楽しかった。ファンなら必見。マーヴェリックとは違うトムクルーズはなかなかですよ。

Un peu déçu, l'histoire n'est pas intéressante mais le film à bientôt 40 ans.
