One of my "top ten" favorite movies is Risky Business starring Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay from 1983. That was 25 years ago which is very hard to accept. That I was only 28 years old at the time might explain why I loved the movie so much but less explainable is why the movie continues to captivate me. The soundtrack, mostly by Tangerine Dream, is amazing. The dialogue is memorable. The plot is fantastic. If you aren't a Cruise fan these days, try to let go of that and realize this film was what launched his success.
This YouTube clip is my favorite scene from the movie; it starts with Joel removing the last passenger, a drunk from the El in Chicago and hopping back aboard with Lana, his experienced girlfriend who is at once turning him into a man and making him a bunch of money. She wants to "make love on a real train". And so it is, all the while with the magic and mystery of Tangerine Dream in the background.
