I've never seen Stakeout.
Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez & Madeleine Stowe.
Was that good?
It’s been awhile since I watched it, but I thought it was good when I watched it. Dreyfuss was funny in it.
It’s sequel- Another Stakeout - added Rosie Odonnel and stunk.

look at that variety, now look at a similar list from 2024/25. I’m sure it’s mainly comprised of sequels or remakes. Original content vs mainly trash.
My single biggest issue with Hollywood these days - very few original ideas or stories anymore. Just rinse and repeat. Honesty I could get past the woke agendas if they put out the variety of quality movies we got that year in '87.

1987 also had what is probably the most forgotten Ridley Scott film of his career.
The Rewatchables actually just did an episode on it. Wouldn't call it a great film by any measure, and it really fell into that late 80s Fatal Attraction fad, but Someone To Watch Over Me is a genre nobody even thinks about making anymore. The sexual thriller/romance/seductress/infedelity adult film is extinct. I think the internet really killed it.
By the mid-late 90s, it was gone like the wind.

Never underestimate Selleck, women swoon over the man. Dude has a 40 year library of B level movies/TV shows you’ve never heard about but if you ask woman 50 years old and above they know every single one of em.
My high school librarian had a closet that served as her office. It was just about the only room in the whole building that didn’t have a little window. She didn’t ever let students in there.
When I was a senior and did office aide I had to deliver mail to her and she would tell me to put it in there. 20 picture homage of Selleck covering and entire wall.
Women in the 80s and 90s had it for him.

3 Men and a Baby was massive. It was funny and charming, and I still remember all the hype surrounding this movie.
My wife bought into that child that used to live in the apartment appearing in the movie as a ghost Urban Legent.

I think it’s just so different now, with streaming and people having 85 inch TVs they paid $800 for. That’s had an impact on movies like the rise of TV did in the 50s and 60s
Add to that the turn around from theater to being available for home view has gone from 6-12 months to 6 weeks or less.

Night Ranger did the theme song for Secret of my Success. The lyrics & video are the epitome of 80's cheese & I say this as someone who loves Night Ranger.

Steve Guttenburg was supposed to be a huge star after that and police academy. But never really panned out.

Big movies used to play for months in theater. Then they would hit the discount theater for a run. I saw Batman Returns and Terminator 2 when I was home for the summer, then when I was back in the fall, I caught them again at the $1 theater by LSU.
Now, you miss seeing something on opening weekend, you just figure you'll catch it on streaming a month and a half later.

The late 80s and early 90s had these movies that topped the box office that nobody talks about anymore. It's really odd.

It’s always been that way. There’s stuff from the 70s that was huge we don’t mention. Some stuff that was popular doesn’t last. You think people will be talking about the live action Lion King 2 in 2045?

I watched Fatal Attraction and I did not like it all. Glenn Close is not someone I would cheat on my wife with. Very ghastly looking.
that was the one big flaw in that movie there is no way you'd cheat with glen close over anne archer in 1987.
my wifes take after watching it was "well that's just proof men will phuck anything"

Damn, movies today suck. I have had no desire to go to a theater in years.

My senior year of high school and freshman fall in college. LSU had one of its best teams ever. I’d give anything to go back and stay and do 87 on a loop.

Truth. Glenn close was nasty while Anne archer was gorgeous. Unrealistic as hell.
