      - I seem to recall myself agreeing. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 19, 17:38
      - *breakdance thieving* -- nm - Vincent Cassel Dec 19, 17:37 1
        
        In a better movie, the Julia Roberts thing might have been cute and clever... (spoils) - Will Hunting Dec 19, 17:41

        I don't think I've seen any of these. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 19, 17:22 10
        
        Runaway is great 80s trash, perfect for soccer pizza party movie night. -- nm - Max Dec 19, 17:40 2
