Everyone remembers the scene of Joel Goodsen (Tom Cruise) dancing around to "Old Time Rock 'N' Roll", but some people may have forgotten some of the movie's other aspects. The plot of course has Goodsen hooking up with prostitute Lana (Rebecca DeMornay), but the movie also shows the takeover by greed in the '80s: Joel's classmates are obsessed with money, and he even asks if people can think about anything else. Oh well. I really liked the scene where people are arriving in the house while "Mannish Boy" is playing (the movie was actually released the year that Muddy Waters died). And it's also surprising now that I know who some of the cast members were: Joe Pantoliano - of "The Goonies", "The Matrix" and "Memento" fame - plays Guido the pimp, and Curtis Armstrong - aka Booger in "Revenge of the Nerds" - plays Miles. Whoa.
