Good grief!

I have *so* many movies I like!
I guess I'll talk about the movie I'm re-watching at the moment, "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere! I saw this when I was probably too young

, and I simply fell in love with it!
First of all, Jason Alexander (George on "Seinfeld") during his "pre-Seinfeld" days . . . he was so good as a cad!

Richard Gere was quite the charmer . . . I mean, he was *much* older than me (and still is, though, I'm older, so it's not as dramatic) when this movie came out and I saw it, but I totally fell in love with him . . . there was just something about him . . . he really was "the prince" . . . I know this movie is supposed to be a modern re-telling of 'Cinderella' (and quite a re-telling it is!

LOL!), and I believe that.
Miss Julia, who had been in 'Mystic Pizza' and 'Steel Magnolias' (which I think she was better known for at this point) was magical . . . and 18 years-old, if you can believe that!

WOW!

She sure didn't look or seem 18!!!

Anyway, Julia (as Vivian) lights up the screen in this movie, and I even enjoyed the scenes she had with the manager of the hotel where she was staying with Edward (Gere's character). And I loved her best friend, Kit Deluca, and gosh, I can't remember the actress's name at the moment . . . I do know she later went on to play "Nadine" in Stephen King's miniseries "The Stand" and she was on the sitcom "Just Shoot Me". Yes, I am *full* of random fun-facts . . . don't you just love the Internet?!
Anyway, I loved this movie . . . I may be the only one, but oh well!

It rocked . . . and though Julia and Richard paired up again, 10 years later, in "Runaway Bride", it wasn't nearly as good as this movie . . . and oddly enough, they (Julia and Richard) are rather far apart in age, and yet, somehow, it *really* works . . . they have chemistry *and* humour!
