Risky Business (1983 Paul Brickman & scr)

Altogether not entirely lacking in style, though pretty shallow - sex on train scene is utterly ridiculous. Why on earth is the film still 18 rated - it deserves to be a 12! (The Spanish advice on the disc recommends it for 'not below 13' - exactly.)

The one where Cruise dances in his underpants. Rebecca de Morney has the charisma of a turtleneck sweater. The initial sex scene between them is hilarious.

Liked the Tangerine Dream bits. Photography is by Reynaldo Villalobos (Blame it on Rio, Punchline, A Bronx Tale) and Bruce Surtees (not sure why they both were on it). Loved the extreme close up of eye through Ray Bans which begins and ends the movie.

With Joe Pantoliano (bearded friend), Richard Masur (Princeton interviewer), Bronson Pinchot (maybe we recognise him from After Hours?)
