While watching Molly perform I noticed she was wearing high heeled shoes. Higher than she normally wore in her films. She mentioned she had purchased those shoes in Austin, Texas a year ago. I then noticed how tall she is. Most of her male co stars are not that tall so that was the reason for her shoes having a one inch heel as opposed to two or three inches.
I don’t know if it was Molly’s choice or it just happened that way, but in every film her style was artsy. Totally out of the box. Check out the films below and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Strike It Rich (DDD) - Stars Molly Ringwald and Robert Lindsay, as a newly married couple who suddenly becomes rich. The husband, a mathematician comes up with a plan to beat the roulette wheel. Soon the couple has even more problems than they had before.
Fresh Horses (DDD) - This was Molly Ringwald’s first grown up role after deciding she wouldn’t do another John Hughes film. I believe Some Kind of Wonderful would have been the follow up to The Breakfast Club or was it Pretty in Pink? Molly Stars opposite Andrew McCarthy her co star in Pretty in Pink. She’s a young girl with a past. The film also stars Patti D Arbanville, Ben Stiller and Viggo Martenson.
For Keeps (DDD) - The film stars Molly Ringwald, Sharon Brown and Molly Ringwald plays a high school senior who becomes pregnant and has to make a big decision as whether to keep the baby or not. The pressure is on from her parents and her boyfriend which doesn’t make things easy.
Betsy’s Wedding (DDD)- Molly Ringwald wants a non traditional wedding that won’t offend either side of the family. A comical look at a father trying to please everyone for the wedding of his youngest daughter. An all star cast including Alan Alda, Madeline Kahn, Ally Sheedy and many more.
Malicious (DD) - A young fatal attraction. Molly Ringwald plays a disturbed young woman that becomes obsessed with a young college baseball player. Patrick McGaw makes a mistake by sleeping with the young woman and can’t seem to get rid of her. She just won’t take no for an answer and does everything to make his life a living hell.
Requiem for Murder (DD)- In this dark interesting film, Molly Ringwald plays a radio DJ with a night time show that plays classical music. A fan seems to be obsessed with her and kills during her show those that appear to be rivals.
Starman (DDD) - Starring Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen I had seen this film when it first came out. I just spent my time watching movies once I got over the fear of going to the movies alone. There were many films I wanted to see, but I couldn’t get anyone to go to the movies with me.
Jeff Bridges is an alien that takes on the features of Karen Allen’s late husband. It has some funny moments, but it is an interesting premise. It made me think of that new series Believe, where individuals return home.
Stormy Weather - Starring Lena Horn, Bill Robinson, Cab Calloway, Fat Waller, The Nicholas Brothers A very entertaining and surreal film. It’s in black and white and I often wonder what it would look like if it were in color. Lena Horn sings the classic title song among others and the Nicholas Brothers give their incredible classic tap dancing routine.
Here is my new rating system. DDDDD highly recommend. DDDD It should be watched. DDD Entertaining DD So, so if you like the stars. D Just out of curiosity watch it.
(I like all movies. Even those that most people don’t like, it makes for great conversation.)
