Risky Business Thread

Risky Business is a 1983 American romantic comedy film written by Paul Brickman in his directorial debut. It stars Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay. The film launched Cruise to stardom. It covers themes including materialism, loss of innocence, coming of age and capitalism.

Joel Goodson is a normal high school student who lives with his wealthy parents in the North Shore area of suburban Chicago. His father wants him to attend Princeton University, his alma mater, so Joel participates in Future Enterprisers, an extracurricular activity in which students work in teams to create small businesses.

When his parents go away on a trip, Joel's friend, Miles, convinces him to take advantage of his newfound freedom to have some fun.

Nice. 9 years later she became a murderous nanny in "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle". Lol.

What was your favorite part of the movie? Too many to choose from. There are numerous lines, scenes and little moments. However, I do like it when the car goes in the water.

Oh, duh! Of course! How could I forget that? Lol. I also liked when the prostitute came over and it was a guy. He was walking through the house on the phone with his friend ordering him to get over there.
