No one ever talks about Just One Of The Guys or Real Genius


These are the real 80's classics

Real Genius was great fun!
Loved the VW in the dormroom and Popcorn prank at the end

Just One of the Boys...I remember it was pretty good (was this the one with a girl playing on the football team and a really nasty beatdown by a bully?)

reply

Just one of the guys is where that girl tries to be a guy to win some newspaper summer job. Yeah Real Genius is awesome though

reply

Gotcha...I'm recalling something else but can't remember the name from HBO so many years ago:/

Yes, Real Genius was really good
Val was king of the world back then

reply

Yeah he really was!

reply

His Jim Morrison performance was legendary and the movie Top Secret! is laugh out loud hilarious
I do know the stories of his obnoxious on-set behavior but damn, he really had the makings of a huge star
I really miss the guy

reply

Me too. It's too bad people hate on the doors because it's not "accurate" and it takes away from val's performance. He should've won an Oscar for it.

Award-worthy for sure

His performance along with Phoenix in Walk the Line and Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody are amongst the best biopic performances that I've ever seen...I do expect a bit of fudging and omission during these tales
