30 years of "Risky business", the movie that brought the concept of high class prostitution to many American homes.

 

Btw, I uploaded this on here because if I do it in the comedy section nobody will notice it.

Oh, wow! that was my favorite movie--right along with Ferris Bueller's Day Off--but I had a VHS copy of Risky Business; it had everything--Tom Cruise, Rebecca de Mornay, call girls and Chicago; and he gets into Princeton after all!!!

That was before Scientology and all the "closet" rumors...

30 years!! That's always been one of my favorite movies, right up there with "Casablanca" and "Dr. Strangelove." The first time I saw "Risky Business," I was visiting a friend who was teaching at Northwestern in Evanston, Illinois. When Joel (Tom Cruise) thought that he wasn't going to Princeton, he said, "Oh, well, I guess there's always Northwestern." You should have heard how that movie audience howled!!! Great moment -- especially for a New Yorker like me.

from NBC Today....best quotes from the movie....

 

 

 

1. Mrs. Goodson in Joel's dream: "Please, Joel, do what they say, just get off the babysitter."

2. Joel to his friends: "Doesn't anyone want to accomplish anything, or do we just wanna make money?"

Friends: "Make money." "Make a lotta money."

 

2. Joel in his Princeton interview: "Sometimes you just have to say, 'What the (expletive)?' "

3. Lana, after Joel's Princeton interview: "So how are we doing?"

Joel: "Looks like University of Illinois!"

 

4. Joel's dad: "I don't remember giving permission for a party, Joel."

 

5. Joel's pal Miles: "I don't believe this! I've got a trig midterm tomorrow, and I'm being chased by Guido the Killer Pimp."

6. Joel: "Porsche. There is no substitute."

 

7. Auto-repair shop guy, after Joel's dad's Porsche is pulled out of Lake Michigan: "Who's the U-Boat commander?"

 

8. Miles to Joel after the car sinks: "You OK? Do you want an aspirin? Your dad own a gun?"

I wasn't allowed to watch it, so maybe Mom guessed something about me. Or him.

can i add one more quote:

 

Joel's dad shocked his son by relating the Princeton rep's evaluation of Joel after his college interview (taken place while Joel turned his parents' home into a brothel):

 

"Princeton could use a guy like Joel"
