Valley Girl! It’s where I first discovered Nicolas Cage and I swoon every time I watch it!

I really hope you have video of your son reciting that monologue! I watched this weekend, what a wild ride! My favorite moment, the incredible delivery from Olympia Dukakis with: "A miracle. Wow, that's news."

Yesssssssss! MOONSTRUCK IS MY FAVORITE ROMCOM OF ALL TIME. No exaggeration. I have watched it countless times and it is always perfect. It's so funny. So charming. So wild. So romantic. It's all the things. It hasn't even been that long since I watched it last and I'm now ready to watch it again.

As for Mermaids, it is also SO GOOD. Cher and Winona's mother/daughter chemistry is so fantastic. Their big fight at home at the end where they scream at each other is so great.

Mermaids!! One of my favorite Winona movies too. And a classic beautiful woman/small funny guy pairing (see also: Kate Winslet/Jack Black in The Holiday.)

The ideal pairing, if you ask me.
