Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

kittysmith-23122 The film that made Tom Cruise into a megastar. Risky Business is about an 18-year-old kid whose parents leave him for the weekend and he ends up doing some crazy things. Its strange to see Tom Cruise so young, especially dancing in his undies to "old time rock and roll". The film has an amazing collection of songs and the soundtrack by Tangerine Dream is out of this world. You have to see this film just to see where it all began for a guy who is quite possibly the biggest movie star on Earth for the past few decades.

Smokemsj Is a genius. A visual masterpiece, and one of the most underrated movies of the genre to ever be made. It's too bad Brickman only made one movie in the 80's, and walked away from Hollywood for 7 years due to the success of the film. Do yourself a favor, rewatch it again...

gavin6942 A Chicago teenager (Thomas Mapother) is looking for fun at home while his parents are away, but the situation quickly gets out of hand.Looking back now (2015), the 1980s are seen as the decade of greed and unrestrained capitalism. This may not be accurate, but it is the caricature. How interesting that this film arrived so early in the decade, promoting "business" and capitalism through the view of prostitution and pimping. There must be a social message here, but I am not sure what.What really stands out is how "clean" it all is. The pimp is a bad guy, but never really dangerous. Prostitutes are shown as fun-loving, rather than strung out on drugs or with other issues. And even the main character sees dating a prostitute as a great thing, ignoring the reality of disease and the fact his girlfriend is sleeping with his friends for money. So strange!

FlashCallahan Left alone in the wealthy northern Chicago suburbs with the family house and Porsche at his disposal, Joel, through his scheming friends, finds himself entertaining call girl Lana. After meeting Joel's enthusiastic friends, Lana spots a business opportunity, and suggests bringing in some of her equally stunning colleagues. Joel is initially against such an idea, at least until the Porsche accidentally falls into Lake Michigan, requiring a quick infusion of ready cash......With such an illustrious career, probably one of the biggest successes in Hollywoods history, it's clear that Cruise is not just a bona-fide movie star, the man is a living legend.And then there's this film.....I must be missing something, I know that this kick-started his career into the stratospheric place it is now, but it's one of the most abhorrent, dislikable roles he's ever played.He basically plays a smug little rich boy who gets done over by a pimp and has to make ex amount of cash before his parents get home.Despite the screen presence he has in this, it's impossible to care about the situation he's got himself into because there is no empathetic repercussions to he character. in fact, he almost takes advantage of his situation to start the titular hobby.So if you want to watch a film where a smug little rich boy thinks about turning his back on education for all the wrong reasons, then this is for you.I found myself getting more angrier as the film went on.
