Phoebe Cates married an Oscar winner (Kevin Kline). Plus, lots of people have won Oscars, but how many actresses can say they were a masturbatory fantasy for a whole generation?
I love stats like this about odd movies. I still think Predator has it beat, though, with two future state governors in the cast.
I don't know what is more disquieting -- the fact that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it has four toes. | oldschoolhero

To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires, and lights, in a box.-Edward R. Murrow

Don't forget the kick-ass Fast Times soundtrack. I believe the success of it made studios re-think their approach to movie soundtracks.
As far as Predator goes, my hope was always that Carl Weathers would run for office. | Teapot

They did a skit based on that on SNL a few years back.

Uh, I'll take The Running Man as it has the same two governors (Ahnold and Jesse), a NFL Hall of Famer (Jim Brown), a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Mick Fleetwood) and, of course, Richard Dawson. Plus it was directed by Starsky.
