    I’m a 37 year old man, and I unapologetically love this movie. It’s about human being’s connecting. It’s more than a Rom-Com, it’s about society, circumstances, and treating everyone the same, regardless of your social class.

    The song wasn't written for the movie. It's called "Oh, Pretty Woman," written by Roy Orbison (1936-1988) and recorded by him. It was released as a single in 1964 and was a big hit.
    The opera they went to was La Traviata (The Fallen Woman), written by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) in 1852 and first performed in 1853. It's about a prostitute who falls in love with a rich guy.

    This movie is what made Julia Roberts a star. She was irresistible & always remained grateful to director Gary Marshall (his movies are always good) and appeared in every film of us he asked her to until his death. She was in his final film. She & Richard Gere had such good chemistry & loved working with Gary so much they looked for another project for years. The result was the delightful The Runaway Bride - funny, romantic & Roberts & Gere still had the chemistry. Gary Marshall had a loyal group of actors who were in every film he made. The most important was his lucky charm, Hector Elizondo (hotel manager in Pretty Women) who is at his best in The Princess Diaries 1 & 2. Also the sucking up store manager was in every film after Pretty Woman and also had his best part in both Princess Diaries films. You can never go wrong with Gary Marshall.

    Great reaction you two. I love this movie. 1) He didn't judge her profession. He liked her for her. This applies to both men and women. 2) It showed poor people are judged regardless of race. The way she was treated and judged was horrible. 3) Julia changed people because she was genuine. That is why she was lovable. She was friendly and charismatic. 4) What this movie showed is the while she made him better but making him see and enjoy life and realizing tearing down stuff is bad and hurts people. He helped her to. She was more than just street worker. She was a woman, feminine and beautiful, smart, and caring. She was a human being just like everyone else. So, in essence they made each other better people :)

    The story line of a rich man transforming a poor woman into someone fantastic goes back over 100 years to the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. The basic premise has been rewritten into several other films and musicals such as My Fair Lady, Educating Rita and, of course, Pretty Woman. Each story is charming and worth watching. My Fair Lady is a classic you would both enjoy and greatly appreciate.

    For your next Romantic Comedy please consider The Goodbye Girl , starring Richard Dreyfus, who played Matt Hooper in Jaws. Richard won an Oscar for his role in the film. I believe Julia's first film was Mystic PIzza, which is a small budget coming of age film and it got Julia noticed and on the map, then Pretty Woman rocketed her to super stardom. Her smile lights up the screen. One of Richard Geres early films is called American Gigolo , where he plays a male prostitute. Its a good movie but R rated , the song Call Me by Blondie is on the soundtrack and I believe it is the theme song.

    The original version of this story was a dark drama. Titled "$3,000", it ended with Edward throwing Vivian out of his car onto Hollywood Blvd. It got shopped around until Garry Marshall got hold of it, and he saw it as a Cinderella story. So he went through and did a total rewrite, and the rest is history. It made Julia Roberts a star, and personally, I wish she'd stuck with that great curly mane.

    I think you recognized the older business owner James, that is Ralph Bellamy who was in “Trading Places” as one half of the Duke brothers with Don Ameche (and also in their cameo in “Coming to America”). They were both classic movie actors as far back as the 30s. Ralph Bellamy is in a great screwball comedy (a term used back then for a rom-com) from 1937 called “The Awful Truth” starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, that would be a fantastic watch for the channel! Great witty banter, fast-paced, and so fun!
    The old movie that is shown on tv is “Charade” (1963) starring Cary Grant (speaking of) and Audrey Hepburn, combo suspense romance, that would also be a fun movie for the channel!
    And of course the black & white tv show she’s watching early on is I Love Lucy! The famous grape-stomping scene ❤

    The soundtrack of this movie is very good! I remember that it competed with the soundtrack of Days Of Thunder, the movie with Tom Cruise, by the same director of Top Gun, Tony Scott, also released in 1990, a soundtrack also very good and containing songs by Guns and Roses, Tina Turner, Elton John, Chicago, Joan Jett, Cher, John Waite, David Coverdale, etc.

    My mum taught me about fine dining when I was twelve. Basically when it comes to cutlery (silverware) you start on the outside and work your way in. Also if you're unsure watch what other people are using. As a reward for long service, working for Queensland Rail dad was given free first-class passes to travel anywhere in Australia for himself, mum and I. We travelled from Brissie (Brisbane), Queensland to Perth, Western Australia and back. From one side of the country to the other. That's when mum taught me about fine dining, because first-class meals were included. Also never do what she did with that Ketchup, that's considered an insult to the chef and staff.

    A favorite of mine. Richard Gere is stunning and Julia Roberts got her first big break with this movie … and Richard Gere fought to give her that first big break. First Gere movie I saw was American Gigolo, in 1980. Not a romcom but still a unique mature rated movie. It set Gere up for a lifetime career as a leading man in any genre of movie. He did another movie with Julia called Runaway Bride. Others are thrillers, suspense, mystery, etc. he’s a good actor, incredibly attractive and has played opposite most Hollywood leading ladies. Gere and Costner are my favorite contemporary actors. Versatile. He can play a murderer and then sing and dance in a musical like Chicago on Broadway. Over 50 movies. I hope you check out his other films. Also, this film showcased a song by the group Roxette. It also put them on the map. The song played in the limo as she was leaving the hotel, it Must Have Been Love. The soundtrack not only featured Roy Orbison, but Red Hot Chili Peppers, Davie Bowie and Peter Cetera, among others. Popular music in movie soundtracks in the 80s was huge.

Garry Marshall would always cast him in, at least, a small role in every single movie he ever directed from his very first in 1982 until his very last in 2016. ❤

    The use of multiple pieces of tableware goes back to when such items were made of silver. Silver can 'pick up' a taste of acidic foods and seafood so it was better to have a specific utensil for different types of food. Since real 'silver' silverware was used mainly among the upper class, the tradition continued even with stainless steel as a 'mark of social class'.

    I've only seen this movie twice, but this movie should be watched every year, maybe on Valentines Day. Obviously they both liked each other but their relationship was built on a transaction, both were afraid to show their feelings because they didn't want to over step their boundaries. Especially for her, she didn't want to come off as a gold digger. For him, he didn't want to come off as rescuing a damsel in distress. Now then, the next Julia Roberts movie reaction should be the thriller "Sleeping with the enemy". She has so many movies, maybe eventually you can catch the reunion with her and Richard Gere in "Runaway Bride". I've never seen it, but I'm sure the chemistry is still there.

    So glad you enjoyed this! It's one of my "guilty pleasure films"...one of those that would never be made.
    Three others I'd like to suggest are "Moonstruck" "Under the Tuscan Sun" and "Julie and Julia" they are all very diffetent films but what they have in common are female central characters each dealing with major crossroads in their lives. Actually I'm going to toss in a fourth called "Shirley Valentine" which has a similar theme and has been a fave for me for many years AND I recently found out was a fave of the late Queen Elizabeth.
