In my opinion, there are certain modern films I'd call "classic" Romancing the Stone is one of these. With lines that are still quotable, "My minumum price for taking a stranded woman to a telephone is $500", heroines that are still as beautiful, (Joan Wilder) heroes that are still as hopelessly over-confident, (Jack T Colton) and bad guys that are still crazily mis-directed (Ira and Ralph) over 20 years hasn't taken away the appeal of this great simple adventure film. Great setting, humor, action, vehicles and ending make this movie worth re-watching again and again. If you like searching for treasure, fighting the bad guys, saving the girl and sailing into the horizon on your dream boat than this ones for you. Not too violent, sexual or profane...but maybe just enough this movie also has balance that you dont often see in movies now that go either too sexual, too violent, or have so much swearing you dont even care what happens in the movie. Worth every penny. |
