W/ filmographies, production notes, scene ac cess, & theatrical trailer. CC. Joel Goodson is the type of teenager who makes his parents proud: he's nice, handsome, intelligent, and even principled. But when Joel's parents leave town for a few days, a series of events occur that will change Joel's sheltered life. For starters, he meets Lana, a hooker who proceeds to deflower our young hero, and then suggests he turn his home into a house of prostitution for one evening. Joel agrees, and just as sexy hookers and randy guys turn Joel's house upside down, a representative from Princeton University arrives, to interview Joel! How Joel handles this and other crises (losing his dad's Porsche, the loss of all his furniture, falling in love with a prostitute) will alter Joel's life forever.
Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise, in one of his earliest roles) is an average high school senior, apprehensive about starting college, especially with his average test scores. He decides to spice up his last high school summer by taking advantage of his parents being away and throwing a non-stop party. The next thing he knows his house becomes the local brothel thanks to the kind hooker played by Rebecca DeMornay and everything turns out differently from what he planned. Screenwriter Paul Brickman made his directing debut with "Risky Business." Risky Business Reviews: "...Appealingly personal and humorously observant....[The] premise is provocative, and [the] storytelling is approached in a manner that often proves fresh and unpredictable..."
-- Cart., Variety "...Morally dubious, effortlessly charming..."
-- Daniel Webb, Total Film "It's the film that first put Cruise in sunglasses and lit up his 500-watt grin." -- Grade: B+-- Benjamin Svetkey, Entertainment Weekly "Mr. Brickman's film was and remains a strikingly original combination of biting satire and moody, romantic reverie."-- Dave Kehr, New York Times 4 stars out of 5 -- "RISKY BUSINESS stands out from the pack of '80s sex-coms....A wish-fulfilment yarn with a sense of irony."-- Rob James, Total Film 4 stars out of 5 -- "RISKY BUSINESS might well be the smartest teen satire ever made....The capitalism is tempered by great performances, real raunch and a terrific Tangerine Dream score."-- William Thomas, Empire Risky Business | List Price | $12.97 (You save $3.98) | | Studio | Warner Home Video | | Orig Year | 1983 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  2492  | | CD Universe Part number | 1261901 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Feb 07, 2006 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Running Time | 99 Minutes | | Movie Details | Color; Mono & Stereo Sound; Surround Sound; Digital Sound |

 Not bad for an early Cruise flick
Risky Business is one of the most memorable movies of the 80's(there were'nt very many of them).Tom Cruise proved that he was a Hollywood giant and gave us a hint of other great movies from him to come.

In M. Night Shyamalan's THE SIXTH SENSE, Bruce Willis plays Dr. Malcolm Crowe, a successful Philadelphia child psychologist who is haunted by the sudden reappearance and suicide of a former patient. Months later Dr. Crowe encounters Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), a troubled, withdrawn young boy who bears a striking similarity to his earlier patient. Dr. Crowe is compelled to help Cole, not only for the boy's sake, but for his own redemption. As Dr. Crowe struggles to determine what torments Cole, he must also come to terms with his increasingly distant relationship to his wife (Olivia Williams). Meanwhile, Cole is unable to describe the horrible things he sees even to his worried mother (Toni Collette). The scene where Cole finally tells Dr. Crowe about his supernatural secret is one of the 1990s most quoted and well-known cinematic moments.
A gripping ghost story with a stunning finale, THE SIXTH SENSE became a surprise blockbuster shortly after its release. The film features Oscar-nominated performances by the startlingly intense Osment and the fiercely maternal Collette, as well as a subtle, subdued turn by Willis. ...

The vision of environmental/conceptual artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude creates a whirlwind of controversy in many of the communities where they install their work. Known for projects as seemingly incomprehensible as surrounding islands around Miami in flamboyantly pink fabric and using fabric to disguise the Pont-Neuf in Paris, the pair aim to change the way people view their surroundings -- both natural and manmade. In a series of films spanning their creations from 1974 to 1995, legendary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles, along with collaborating directors, capture the awe-inspiring beauty, drama, and sheer determination involved in bringing to bear these inspiring projects.
Never before commercially available, this series of ...

TRAINING DAY: Antoine Fuqua (THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, BAIT) turns up the intensity level with TRAINING DAY, a charged drama about police corruption in downtown Los Angeles. Ethan Hawke stars as Jake Hoyt, a well-intentioned young officer who thinks he's found his ticket to becoming a detective in the form of undercover officer Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). Harris is a notorious figure in the streets and in the office. He also has the authority to make Jake's professional wishes come true, provided Jake is able to prove his worth on Alonzo's team. At first, Alonzo's blunt, carefree demeanor provides a shock to Jake's optimistic system, but as it becomes clear that Alonzo is dangerously out of control, Jake must decide whether or not to risk his future in the name of the law.
FALLEN: After capturing and prosecuting a brutal serial killer, detective John Hobbes is puzzled by a string of bizarre murders that seem to suggest that the killer is alive--or at least somehow present on Earth. With the help of a beautiful theosophist and his stalwart partner, Hobbes realizes that the killer's spirit is being transferred between the bodies it possesses--and that it may be impossible to stop him now.
