Smooth Talk (1985, with Laura Dern and Treat Williams)? There are kind of a lot of cautionary tales for young girls about how evil and dangerous all us men are…
But as an angsty teen, I watched quite a few of those. Then I grew out of the angsty teen phase and the angsty 20 something phase, but that involved fewer movies and more drinking. Now, I find myself sucked into Lifetime movies. Where has my life gone? :smack:
Apropos of nothing, there was a lady who used to work inthe same company as me - she would stop by my co-workers desk and nonchalantly tell her these horrifying stories about her life; her ex-husband trying to have her killed, her current boyfriend stealing her car, etc. No idea if any of it contained a shred of truth. We nicknamed her “Lifetime.”
How to Deal is particularly awful (or, what I’ve seen of it is) because it’s got drone-voiced Mandy Moore as the girl who needs a boy to show her what life is all about. She’s much better when she’s mocking herself, as in other teen girl angst movie Saved!
Father Dougal: Did you ever see that film, Ted, where your man has his head transplanted onto a fly, and the fly’s head was transplanted onto the man?
Father Ted: Oh, yes… what was it called?
Father Dougal: “Out Of Africa”, I think. Anyway, your man has the head of the fly and he’s chasing his wife all over the place and she’s hiding the jam and everything so he won’t get stuck in it.
Back in the day, my father rented** An Officer and a Gentleman** because he thought it was about the Crimean War (!).
Anyhoo, I watched Foxfire of my own volition several years back while running through a list of movies filmed in Portland. I seem to recall that it had boobies in it, and the rest is just a blur.
