"This has been quite the week for me to wish Nicolas Cage still made good movies. Besides crying over the fact that his latest sci-fi action thriller involving disaster prophesy was #1 at the box office despite being panned by critics, some of my unrelated experiences over the past seven days have coincidentally included the following: watching Wild at Heart for the first time; learning from locals that Moonstruck was partly shot in my neighborhood; discussing, at a party, not only the merits of The Rock, but also its qualifications for inclusion in the Criterion catalog. I’m now thinking I should stay home tonight and watch a marathon of Raising Arizona, Face/Off and Adaptation.

"Moonstruck, for me, is one of those movies that gets better every time I watch it. Back in the day when a movie only had to be an hour and a half, Moonstruck makes every minute count. It's filled with laughs, wonderful acting and a great family dynamic that feels real and believable. Whenever I'm feeling blue or I need a little pick me up, I'll pop in Moonstuck and by the end of the movie I've snapped outta it. "

AFI's 10 Top 10: Romantic Comedy

"For me, the romantic comedy Top 10 is the most solid compilation of the group. Not only is the rom com a clearly established American film genre, but the individual selections are all eminently reasonable and defensible. This is not to suggest that I wouldn't make alternate suggestions, because I would, but I understand the reasoning behind each of the ten films on the AFI's list. And I don't have any strong contrarian or idiosyncratic preferences that would lead me to tilt at a windmill like arguing against the selection of, say, City Lights (1931) as number one, or its inclusion on the list altogether. The one film on this list that I do question is Sleepless in Seattle (1993). There isn't anything outstandingly wrong with the film, but it isn't especially remarkable, either. It doesn't represent a particularly clever or innovative take on the genre. It doesn't push any boundaries. It doesn't mark any point in the development of the form (indeed, I would argue that it is fairly t ... "

""Snap out of it!" Whenever anybody says that phrase, I automatically think of Olympia Dukakis in Moonstruck. She plays Loretta's mother, Rose, a cynical woman who sees the deep troubles of her family. Loretta is going to marry Johnny, who she doesn't love. But she's fallen in love with his brother Ronnie, who Johnny hasn't spoken to in years. This movie shows the depth of love as well as its passion. Rose is right that "if you love them, they can walk all over you." But she also knows it is worth it. This movie also shows that nobody can drive you crazy like your family. "
