[Full Reaction] Working Girl (1988)

Comments

Wes

This one is a gem. With your main screen crush so of course you loved it!!!

Michael Lynch

I had a massive crush on Melanie Griffith. A lot of men did. She was so beautiful and her voice was so soft and sensual. I can’t wait to watch this.

Mike LL

Very happy that this fantastic movie is on the channel. Sorta unhappy that I have to be at work in 45 minutes! As most of you will be watching sportsball this evening, I'll be watching Cassie and Carly and Working Girl!

Larry Darrell

Whoa!! Wasn’t expecting this today. Sweet!! Thank You.

Zane From Canada

Fun Personal Fact: I sang Let The River Run by Carly Simon at karaoke on a dare. I actually did pretty well. 🤭

nick bell

I love this movie. Harrison Ford was such a different actor before Regarding Henry.

Rob Galloway

Saw this in theaters the day it came out, I didn't even know what it was about! Just saw the poster in the lobby and I was sold, plus it was a pretty good movie as it turned out!

Scott Macaulay

Ok. I’ll watch this to dip my feet into your world for a bit. It’s only fair after you committed so much time to Star Trek.

Jenny_M

One of my favorite movies, and with Carly, to boot! Can't wait to settle in and watch this with you two tonight.

Steve Mercier

Loooooooooooove this movie...the cast is amazing, and funny, and HOLY S#!% the hair.

Jason Henderson

One of the best 80 s Nostalgia movies ever made!! It just had a feel to it! Melanie Griffith was so amazing ,capturing the innocence and Perseverance of her character. Harrison ford was such a presence! Miss weaver was So nasty ! But was totally believable. Was so excited and happy for the stories Conclusion! So happy you enjoyed it!☺️

Dan M

Well, my Sunday afternoon is officially set. I just finished shoveling snow and cleaning off cars for an hour and a half. I’m back in my sweats, and I’m snuggled up on the couch. I’m starting off by listening/watching the latest episode of Popcorn to Go, and then I’ll cap off the afternoon with this movie before settling in for the Super Bowl. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve seen this movie. I don’t remember too much of it, but I do remember that famous line by Melanie Griffith. “I’ve got a mind for business and a bod for sin. Is there anything wrong with that?” And I also remember the title song from the soundtrack…”Let the Rivers Run”, which won Carly Simon a Grammy, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award.

2-Can

Katherine is a female Drumlin (Tom Skerritt of Contact). There to take credit earned by her underlings.

Milton William Burray

Thanks very much for getting this up in time for Sunday evening in Europe 👍

Dan M

It’s also easy to forget that Harrison Ford had some really good roles in movies that are not action/adventure/sci fi movies. With that being said, I’d like to recommend his movie Regarding Henry. I think you and Carly would love this tender side of Harrison Ford.

Tara

Hi Cassie and Carly, Melanie Griffin is Dakota Johnson’s mother with Don Johnson. You know Sigourney Weaver from the Alien movies, Avatar, Ghostbusters, Holes and Dave. Yes that is Alec Baldwin. This was around the time he was in Beetlejuice and was very handsome.

Darren Harrison

Remember seeing this in the theaters. The initial posters focused on Ford and Weaver who were the two known bankable stars of the picture. Of course it quickly became apparent that Griffith was indeed a star and later iterations of the poster featured her alongside her co-stars. I’m not at all surprised you liked it. I find it an enjoyable rom com of the period. Off topic but just before she made this picture Griffith made a movie with Sting, Tommy Lee Jones and Sean Bean called “Stormy Monday”. Neither her or Bean were big names at the time so the posters for that picture and publicity focused on Sting and Lee Jones.

Rose

This is like the classic Cinderella story. “Maid in Manhattan” with JLO was actually inspired by “Working Girl.” The opening credits is so iconic - and the final scene with Tess 🥺 Melanie Griffith is just brilliant. Never give up on your dreams!

Vwlss Nvwls

I cannot wait to watch this one with you two. I know you two will love it. I have always been a Melanie Griffith fan, and this is one of my favorite movies of hers. Such a fun movie. I do not think you have watched Melanie Griffith in anything else, but she has been in a lot of great movies. Like... Body Double Bonfire of the Vanities Something Wild Pacific Heights

2-Can

Matinee Carly is fun!

Mark White

This is such a no-brainer for you both. Perfect Cass and Car movie! 😃

Rose

“Jersey Girl” (1992) starring Jamie Gertz & Dylan McDermott. Love this movie, too.

Vwlss Nvwls

A couple movies that people often forget Sigourney Weaver was in are the first two Ghostbuster movies.

D. T. Nelson

Been a long time since I watched this movie. I owned a copy on VHS tape (to show how long ago it was). If you still haven't wiped away the image of Harrison Ford in What Lies Beneath, other movies of his you should check out are Six Days, Seven Nights and Regarding Henry.

Tyler Foster

I'm telling you, just wait until you two see Moonstruck.

Joe

Glad the ladies liked it. Rom-Coms are not my favorite genre, LOL. Always had trouble with Ford in these types of roles, I just see him as a action star.

Matt Rose

another 'Joan Cusack steals the movie' movie. Great fun.

Philip G.

Cassie perfect time to watch Your name (2016) for Feb

TheSingulatarian

You are on fire to day Cassie. When do you sleep? I graduated from business school in 1987 so this movie was right in my wheelhouse in 1988. My girlfriend /later wife/ later ex-wife graduated in 1989. She also loved Harrison Ford. She loved the movie too.

Vwlss Nvwls

Carly "I don't think my hair could get that kind of volume if I tried." Cass "I know. What were they using?" In my ex-wife's case... tons of Aqua Net. :) She used to do that when we met, and I called it her Woody Woodpecker hair do, because it literally went up and curved forward. :D

TheSingulatarian

Yes, the hair really was that big in the 1980s.

JL_83

I actually saw this for the first time only a few years ago and really enjoyed it; once I saw it on your watch list I knew it was perfect for February; all the actors I think were cast to perfection 👏

TheSingulatarian

Strange Melanie Griffith fact. Her stepfather was really into lions. Thought they were house cats. He made a movie about a family that lives with lions called "Roar". It was insane. Melanie, her mother Tippi Hedren and the crew were in constant danger. One of lions got spooked attacked Melanie and peeled her scalp back like a grape. The Surgeons did a remarkable job. You cannot even see the scar.

Chris Thom

Glad you two liked it! Had a feeling you would. The extra later 80's is a nice touch watching nowadays with the music and fashion, suits and hair and all that, for the nostalgia. Mike Nichols is a great, and diversified director. His Closer film with Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Clive Owen and Natalie portman is also very good but in a VERY different way. That is a harder watch with a harder edge. But also fascinating (and darker/more cynical). But it's one of my favorites from the 2000s and Nichols in general.

Nick Stark

Fun Fact: The actress that plays Tess is the daughter of Tippi. Tippi played the lead character in the Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds that the two of you saw together.

Chris Thom
>>164151347

Ohhhh that's right. Ever since I saw The Birds I thought she looked familiar. That makes sense.

Nick Ireland

It's no wonder this movie reminded you of Maid in Manhattan, they were written by the same person! This was a great reaction and a perfect Sunday afternoon re-watch.

Just Plain Bob
>>164151098

Tippi lives with lions to this day. Alamo Drafthouse brought “Roar” to theaters and gave it a blu ray release a few years ago. Not a particularly good movie. But it is interesting to watch the entire blended family interact with the big cats, knowing that multiple serious injuries resulted. The production bragged that 70 people were injured in the making of the film, but none of the animals were. If memory serves, Tippi got her arm broken or dislocated by an elephant.

John

A silly one wit Melanie Cherry 2000(1987)

Brett Richey

Is it wrong that I totally fancied Sigourney Weaver more in this movie than Melanie Griffith? Don't answer... I don't care... I do. I'd sign her cast in this so hard. Don't judge me... I'm only human.

Björn Karlsson

.......and there went "The Fly" up to top 100 on popcorn request 😄😄😄

Chris Thom
>>164139000

Aww I remember picking movies just from a poster. Good times. And as fun as talking about movies online can be, I do kind of miss the days when they weren't driven into the ground by armchair critics before they even came out.

Chris Thom
>>164139611

I definitely have a category of movies I call 'grandma's house'. lol. They his a bit different for some reason.

Gábor Árki

I've always enjoyed this movie, and it still holds up. Rewatching it with a reaction was great. It's fascinating how men's fashion has barely changed in 35 years. Those suits would still look perfectly fine today. Meanwhile, women's fashion from the '80s, both in clothing and hairstyles, feels so distinctly tied to its era. That’s another movie checked off my “Can’t believe Cassie and Carly haven’t seen this rom-com yet” list. But there are still several left: - SIX DAYS SEVEN NIGHTS with older and grumpier Harrison Ford - A WALK IN THE CLOUDS with Keanu Reeves - DOC HOLLYWOOD with Michael J Fox - FRENCH KISS with Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan - FOOL'S GOLD with Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson

Jason Henderson
>>164139611

I hope everyone enjoys this one! It brings back memories of a simpler time , the 80s of course, and I love it! Lol

Brett Richey
>>164157661

I like 'em sexy. Those schoolboy crushes never leave you. Always loved Sigourney, alway will. Alien started it; not my fault she was in her underwear. Also see Ghostbusters and Galaxy Quest (where I personally think she encompassed ultimate sexuality). She's for me, Chris - It's just simple biology 😌 Good film though and glad she gets her cumuppence; all for the story. This is just my loins taking the lead. Forgive me.

Chris Thom
>>164157661

Pretty rare that she plays the villain. This is the only one I can think of.

Darren Harrison
>>164142524

“Stormy Monday” has an impressive cast and crew that went on to even greater heights, including the director winning an Oscar for “Leaving Las Vegas” several years later. It was a very personal film for the director who had wanted to make a movie in his native Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Interesting factoid about the behind the scenes of “Stormy Monday”. Sting was originally from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (was even a teacher there before his career with rock band The Police took off). When his agent received the script for “Stormy Monday” he called Sting and asked him if he had ever heard of a place called Newcastle.

Mike Lemon
>>164151098

Oh, that is the other "Roar". I think I saw mention of it back in the day when I was looking up Heath Ledger's Roar (1997) but never bothered to look into it further.

fish_thefilmcollector

I absolutely adore this movie. If you enjoyed Melanie Griffith in this I think you'd like SHINING THROUGH with Michael Douglas.

Mike Lemon
>>164147522

Always liked her in Toys (1992). Too bad that movie doesn't get much love.

Canadianant

First time time watch for me. Perfect timing for a Sunday matinee. As much as it's fun to watch movies where you broaden your horizons and watch something outside your comfort zone, it's also fun to kick back and watch something with you ladies that's right up your alley with lots of great big smile moments. My only complaint is that I'm not sure why they had to lie in the movie, everyone knows that he got the scar on his chin fighting off a lion with a whip inside a train car. 😉

Larry Darrell
>>164162998

+1 for Matinee (1993) I’ve recommend it a few times in October. It’s like a love letter to Horror films, and considering the Cuban Missile Crisis setting, October is a Perfect time to watch it. Anytime is good too ;-)

Clay F
>>164142524

She was relatively well known at the time, but she was no Weaver or Ford.

Clay F

There is a feel of uncertainty through the movie, which both of you seemed to appreciate. Yes, that is John Cusack's sister (Joan Cusack) who is also great as the principal in School of Rock (2004) alluded to by Carly. My kids loved School of Rock [PG-13] back in the day. I remember when this movie Working Girl (1986) was released. Melanie Griffith was well known at the time. I liked her 2 years earlier in "Body Double" (1984) (Thriller/Mystery) [Brian De Palma]. Yes, as a comment indicated below, that is Alec Baldwin -- 4 years before he was in The Hunt for Red October (1990) with Sean Connery. I generally like 80s movies to see depictions of the time. Thanks for the reaction.

Mike LL
>>164177242

Yes Melanie Griffith was well known at the time, but obviously she was not a real big star at the time like Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver were. I mean, they were huge stars. Which is strange because it is so obvious when watching Working Girl that Melanie Griffith is the star of the movie. The whole story is about her. It is a shame that they had to give her third billing status, but those are the realities in Hollywood when you have bigger stars to headline your movie. It's almost an injustice! 😏 Which is all kind of ironic given the storyline of the movie!

Larry Darrell

I knew y’all would Love this movie. Anyone would have been a fool to bet against it… like betting on the Chiefs :-) I noticed y’all really liked the word, “Gumption.” I wonder where you’ve heard that word before. Could it have been the modern Classic Christmas film… The Holiday? ;-) In all the times that you both have seen The Holiday, have either of you ever been interested in Arthur’s long list of old movies featuring Powerhouse women? Have either of you, in all these years, ever been curious to find out who Irene Dunne is? Well, just in case you have, but maybe didn’t know where to look… here is Arthur’s List of 15 films that feature that same certain endearing quality that Ms. Tess McGill exudes. Trouble in Paradise (1932) My Man Godfrey (1936) Libeled Lady (1936) The Awful Truth (1937) Easy Living (1937) Nothing Sacred (1937) Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife (1938) Holiday (1938) Bachelor Mother (1939) His Girl Friday (1940) My Favorite Wife (1940) The Philadelphia Story (1940) Ball of Fire (1941) The Lady Eve (1941) The Palm Beach Story (1942) Bonus: 2 more modern films, not recommended enough, that fit the bill… 9 to 5 (1980) Juliet, Naked (2018)

Larry Darrell
>>164177242

Melanie Griffith was already a 2 time Golden Globe nominated actress before Working Girl, for which she was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. Golden Globe nominated for… Body Double (1984) & Something Wild (1986)

Mike LL

Yes Cassie, you loved this movie like I knew you would. Having Carly watch it too just made it so much better. The movie was nominated for Best Picture, Melaine Griffith for Best Actress, Joan Cusak and Sigouney Weaver both were nominated for Best Supporting Actress as well as Mike Nichols for Best Director. But Carly Simon got the only Oscar for the movie, for writing Let the River Run which won for Best Song.

YodatheHobbit

Hair spray! My mom used to use it on my blond curly hair in the first and second grade to straighten it out a bit for school picture day. The smell of it I definitely won't ever miss. Then after that I remember in the 5 and 6th grades all the other guys were suddenly using gel in their hair, almost every day. I didn't try that kind of stuff till later in highschool when my hair was longer and I put just a little bit in before drying with a towel to make my natural curls a bit straighter, tried to have a poofy blond afro kind of thing. Sort of like Heath Ledger in A Knight's Tale. Little secret, us now totally bald guys really miss having hair options, like removing a customizable feature in a video game, like a car. At least I do. Before getting used to it, it's like you're in the mirror and say "Oh hi head. You're so boring now."

Clay F
>>164177242

Yeah, good point. Melanie Griffith was no Weaver or Ford.

Walter

I've always loved this movie. I was 15 when I saw it in the theater (because of Harrison Ford) and was so pissed when Melanie Griffith, Sigourney Weaver and Joan Cusack were all nominated for Academy Awards, but Harrison Ford was not. I was outraged :)

Sandra Jewitt

The other movies was, It Could Happen to You. The lead actress was Bridget Fonda who is part of the Fonda acting dynasty.

Chris Thom
>>164186068

Pretty sure he knew the assignment with that one. He did great and dutifully but that movie was always going to be more of a glory for the women kind of thing. Granted, the movie is definitely better for having him and he probably knows that.

Chris Thom
>>164177242

Body Double sounds good. Gonna look for that one. Was just wondering the other day if there were any DePalma's I hadn't seen yet. Is Mission Impossible the only one by the director on PIB channel?

Chris Thom
>>164162998

Haven't seen that one since 1993. John Goodman is in it right? About South Florida during the missile crisis?

Chris Thom
>>164151098

It's fascinating, but it does make the family look like complete nutcases. Like to the point where CPS or FBI or something should've probably intervened.

Bert Towle

My wife and I saw it when it was new. We bought a copy on DVD when it was available and watch it every few years. It wasn't until last Fall that my wife finally noticed the nearly naked vacuuming scene. Somehow that practice wasn't widely adopted...

Larry Darrell
>>164177242

She’s reacted to The Untouchables (1987)… and I’m still hoping for Blow Out (1981)

Clay F
>>164177242

+1 for Blow Out (1981). She liked The Untouchables (1987).

Shawn Kildal

This is the second movie the ladies saw featuring a Carly Simon song. The other was "Nobody does it better" from the 007 film The Spy Who Loves Me

Super Powered Design (Jim)

"I couldn't get that volume to me hair if I tried."... "I know. what were they using?"... AQUANET

Clay F
>>164194113

At least that obligatory 1980s breasts shot was at a distance.

Chris Thom
>>164161515

Never heard of that one. Haven't seen Melanie Griffith in a while. Wonder if she retired.

Chris Thom
>>164157661

That Disney movie? With Shia? Don't think I ever saw that but I remember the commercials.

Chris Thom
>>164151283

Love that scene in the art gallery with the music. One of my all time favorite scenes.

Chris Thom
>>164147522

Yeah she was great in that. Always respect when an actor can make a ridiculous premise and role work. I really like her.

Chris Thom
>>164142637

I never saw Bonfire because the reviews were so bad. But the book is by maybe my favorite author. Was it any good?

Chris Thom
>>164142582

She was adorable. And she walked that line really well. In other hands it could've been a pretty unlikeable role.

Mojo One Thousand
>>164164314

"Broadening horizons" is phrase that gets thrown around a bit... the horizon is 360 degrees, you sometimes only need to go 1 degree from where you are to find yourself somewhere new...

Walter
>>164186068

I agree where Griffith and Weaver are concerned. But Cusack gets a nomination? And not Ford? No, sorry, unacceptable. 😀 apparently I’m still mad about it 😀

Mojo One Thousand

"No, no bones... you've already thrown plenty!" I am guessing Cassie didn't mean that to sound as filthy as it do, or had I misheard it... was there a 'been' that I didn't hear? Made me laugh. This had more familiar faces than I remember, including two "Jack Ryans" with Ford and Baldwin, David Duchovny ("Return to me") hiding in the shower at the surprise party, among of bunch of other faces just in background roles that are in movies on the channel. Others have already gone into the legacy acting families that were mixed up, the Hedren/Griffith/Johnson clan and the Fondas. The roots of "Linus Larabee" in the "Sabrina" remake can be seen in "Jack Trainer". I did enjoy it better than the first time I saw it.

Clarence Newman
>>164181045

I feel, with Larry’s post, The Philadelphia Story has now achieved the legally required volume of traction to make it a compulsory Popcorn pick. It’s also very topical because Philadelphia just won the Super Bowl.

Chris Thom
>>164186068

I actually don't know if he's ever been nominated? Thought for sure he was but I can't think of any.

thomas king

Harrison Ford You guys will like 6 days and 7 seven nights its a Rom Com. Others to see Witness, Presumed Innocent, American Graffiti, the Devil's Own cause it has Brad Pitt too.

Larry Darrell
>>164181045

It was the Highest voted 30s & 40s film in the Classic Romantic Poll. That’s something to note. But Philadelphia winning the Championship is a pretty good kicker too. :-)

Rick Rodriguez

As many I'm sure have said here, this is one of my favorite Ford performances. He evokes the greats of the past while being distinctly him. Light, charming, rougishly funny in the way he was in Star Wars 1 ( I know what I called it and I stand by it). It's crazy how much chemistry he has with Griffith, who was never better. Also, this and Galaxy Quest proves the great Sigourney Weaver's secret weapon is comedy.

Philip Herman

I’ve been waiting for this PIB reaction since I first started watching many years ago.

Vwlss Nvwls
>>164142637

I am a partial to this one because it is Brian De Palma directing, and he has always been my favorite director since I saw some of his movies on t.v. as a kid. I just love his style and scope.

Vwlss Nvwls
>>164142637

I never understood the bad reviews. I thought it was a really fun movie. Tom Hanks was excellent, and it is a fun story. At the time the movie came out, my girlfriend worked at a movie theater. When they were done showing the movie she brought me home the giant banner they had to promote it, because I was such a big Melanie Griffith fan at the time. I lugged that around for years from house to house before finally selling it. :D

Rick Williams

This took me back. Fun 80's movie. I loved revisiting it with you ladies. It had been so long since I saw this movie that I only remember bits and pieces of it. It was great to rediscover it.

REDR58

Fun reaction. First time watch for me, despite being older than your 2. I have to say it really hit me when you asked if those were the Twin Towers, then I remember it was 24 years ago now when they were destroyed and I watched it live on TV. Holy time flying.

REDR58

Another classics 1980s recommendation is “Wall Street” with Michael Douglas from 1987.

Allen Bond

Watched it twice, so far.

Dean Holt

First time watching this one and although it had a good ending, I thought it was boring most most of the time. As it kinda felt like it took ages get thought it. But glad the ladies liked it.

Jen Barnes

This hair was 100% accurate for a lot of girls. I graduated high school in 1988 and there was a can of aqua net in many lockers. Mousse and hairspray. So much hairspray.

Chris Thom
>>164385164

Hopefully that Aqua Net stuff smelled good. Looks like it was everywhere. Don't think I've ever seen a bottle in real life.

Mike Lemon
>>164385164

How... how could you have never seen Aqua Net??? What did you use to power your potato guns or make flame throwers out of?

Luke Godfrey

Great reaction. I knew Cassie would enjoy this movie. I didn’t realise Carly was watching this one too so that was a nice surprise. Is it just me or does this movie make anyone else want to watch Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991) starring Christina Applegate? Cassie hasn’t seen it yet so fingers crossed she sees this comment and adds it to her watchlist. It’s right up her street! 🤞🏻

Stephen Dias

You guys are just watching all the movies that I've loved, but have not seen in years!

JPDotCom23

Nicholas Cage starred in 'It Could Happen to You' with Bridget Fonda, not Melanie Griffith

JPDotCom23

Well, you've seen 'Witness', I think. I think you should watch 'Something Wild', which is an introduction of Melanie Griffith to the movie industry, and was directed by Martin Scorsesse, Ray Liotta is incredible in it. You've watched 'Sabrina' starring Ford, nothing more cute to watch with Harrison Ford, other than 'Morning Glory' with Diane Keaton and Rachel McAdams.

Chris Thom
>>164385164

Woah memory unlocked. I DID use mom's hairspray to make a flamethrower. lol. But it wasn't Aqua Net.

Chris Thom
>>164407265

I have a ton of nostalgia for that one but I don't remember why. Zero memories of it other than Applegate in a power suit at an office.

Chris Thom
>>164430093

Never heard of that one. I don't think I've seen much of Scorsese's coked up years. But a lot of them sound interesting.

Chris Thom

Really nice to see both sisters looking so happy and engaged during a watch/review. It's nice. Glad they enjoyed.

Chris Thom
>>164407265

Last time was probably 1992 when it was on VHS. Trying to remember if the brother character is famous too without looking it up. Want to say it's the same kid that was in Married With Children but that can't be right.

John Drake

I love the innocence "is he doing drugs?". Also nice cameo from Ricky Lake at the wedding

JPDotCom23
>>164430093

Oh crap, my mistake, Jonathan Demme directed 'Something Wild', I confused it with 'After Hours' with Griffin Dunne and Rosanna Arquette.

Chris Thom
>>164744507

I remember when she had her talk show and it was super weird when she showed up in Serial Mom. I didn't even know she was an actor at the time.
