This is inspired by a viewing last weekend. I tried so hard not to watch it. I've seen it so many times it's not funny, so definitely didn't need to watch it. Maybe I could just watch the start and then I'll watch something else. Of course I couldn't stop. I am talking about the masterpiece that is PRETTY WOMAN. The funny thing is that next time it's on, I'll do exactly the same thing!
We'd already loved her in SATISFACTION, MYSTIC PIZZA and STEEL MAGNOLIAS, but this is where we fell in love with Julia Roberts. She makes it totally believable and fun to be a hooker. Did I want to grow up and be one? maybe, if I got to go and stay in the penthouse apartment with Richard Gere and watch 'I love lucy'! Cool!
We sang along to Roy Orbison's 'Pretty Woman' and were introduced to songs by Go West and 'it must have been love' by Roxette.
And this film has some of my fave lines from a film ever, and some that are used in my everyday language!
Remember Julia singing in the bath with her yellow sony walkman (yes I had one exactly the same)
Julia: Don't you just love Prince?
Richard: More than life itself!
And these classics:
Vivian: Tell me one person who it's worked out for.
Kit: What, you want me to name someone? You want like a name? Oh, God, the pressure of a name... I got it. Cindafuckin'rella
Vivian: Let's watch old movies all night... we'll just veg out in front of the TV.
Edward Lewis: Veg out?
Vivian: Yeah. Be still like vegetables. Lay like broccoli.
Vivian: i want more
Edward: how much more?
Vivian: I want the fairytale.
Vivian: It's a really good offer for a girl like me!
And my very fave:
Vivian: We think you got a lot of potential Kit De Luca!
