Your thoughts on Hiding Out...
I just got done watching the movie and I was just curious what you guys thought of it. I know it's an older movie, 1987, but I recently went on a search and I looked all around my city and could not find a single copy. So I finally ordered it from Amazon.
I remember seeing the just a part of the movie when I was real young on TV one time before I went to school. And I was so interested in it I watched for it to come on again and It did and I watched it and I have been in love with the movie ever since. I woke up last week and thought, of all the DVDs I owned I couldn't believe that I didn't own this one yet.
Ever since I first saw the movie I have loved Jon Cryer. I think his performance in this movie was amazing and it was an all together a pretty good movie.
While I was in High School when I got caught leaving campus, we had closed campus lunch, when they asked for my name I would give the alias Maxwell Hauser and it never came back to me and I never got into any trouble. I still use the name anytime I go somewhere and they ask for my name, like at Starbucks or CiCis ect.
Anyway I was just curious if anybody else had anything to say about this movie.

I like and really miss those type of 80's movies myself. I remember seeing that movie myself in the theater... Another favorite of that era is Patrick Demsey in Can't Buy Me Love.

In defiance of all reason and intellect, I do love it...I've come *this* close to breaking down and ordering it...if it was easily found in retail stores, I'm sure I'd have it by now...

It's one of those movies that I will (for some strange reason) watch every time I catch it on TV, but I would never buy it on DVD. I don't know why...I guess I'd just never go out of my way to watch it.

I think I've discovered the secret appeal to the film for me; it's co-written by a STAR TREK scribe (Joe Menosky)!

I remember greedily snapping this up at the movie place in the mall when I saw it had been released. I've loved Jon Cryer ever since Duckie's lip-sync/dance for Molly Ringwald in Pretty In Pink.
But honestly, the best thing I loved about Hiding Out...Annabeth Gish. She's so cute. So.....girlfriend material, ya know? Does that make sense?
Worst thing about Hiding Out...Jon's fake beard/mustache at the beginning of the movie. He barely moved his lips while delivering his lines, probably for fear the damn thing would fall off!
