Who loves the movie Cocktail?!
Question: I absolutely love the movie Cocktail! :D
It's one of those all time classic's that never gets old! It's like also my mom's favorite movie! :)
The story is so bitter sweet, and the characters you can't help but feel for them!
Plus Brian and Doug are like the two of the best friends; until things go downhill for them.
Plus you can always love Brian and Jordan, who really have feelings for each other! I like the ending when they get married the best!
"I bet I can still spook you?"
:)
Plus I absolutely love the soundtrack; it has my all time favorite songs on there, like Beach Boy's Kokomo, Don't Worry Be Happy, Little Richard's Titti Frutti, Wild Again, Rave On, and many other favorites!

I DO TOOOO.....ITS SOOOOO GOOD
Not me. Well, not entirely.
I worked in a movie theater in San Francisco when this first opened and must of seen it a hundred times.
While Cruise's (who i don't like) acting is, as usual, very good and Bryan Brown makes for a very entertaining dynamic between the characters, the film itself for some reason seems to sit like a martini that's too dry with a black olive in it.
I'll agree with you, there are a ton of cool optical and auditory aesthetics in the film. From a very cool soundtrack, to some very nice coastal scenes and Gina Gershon dressed in black with that blue beverage and neon in the background, might be the image I have painting on my coffin.
Then there's Liz Shue.
Her performance in this piece was not very ....well, good.
I mean, I wouldnt have expected a performance like in "Leavng Las Vegas" from her at this stage, but she actually did a better job in "Advenures in Babysitting" (released the previous year; 87') than she did in this film.
For a freebie that comes on tv its not bad to zone out on for an hour and forty some-odd minutes.
Like i said its very appealing to watch and listen to, but still very contrived, obvious and basically just a star vehicle for Cruise (although Brown definately stole the show).
Kelly Lynch was not hard on the eyes either.
A person could certinly do worse and after writing this and thinking back on it, I may just take a walk down memory lane and give it another look.
Although, like the first hundred times, I certainly won't/wouldn't pay for it.
I remembered loving this film when it first showed up on the movie channels. My mom and I had become Bryan Brown fans thanks to "The Thorn Birds". We both liked Tom Cruise and Elisabeth Shue, too, so this was an all-round great film experience.
You're right: The soundtrack is amazing, filled with songs that never grow old. They go so beautifully with the action.
The "bar ballet" is simply mindboggling, and I always wonder how many shattered bottles and glasses there were throughout rehearsals. The two work together smoothly and so gracefully that it seems impossible. Now, they probably would accuse them of camera tricks.
It's definitely a bittersweet film. I imagine that most people wouldn't expect it to reach such deep and strong emotions; some have written it off as fluff, but I'll bet they haven't watched it. People see "Cocktail" and leap to a conclusion. It really has its surprises, especially because I hadn't seen it in many years. I was impressed all over again, especially by Brown. (I have found that the "fluff" assumption also is applied to Sam Elliott's "Lifeguard", which most people slam without viewing it!)
It must have a wide appeal if my mother and I could enjoy it in the late Eighties then again nearly 20 years later!
u have to be joking
