    Beautiful Clark
  • fros912d ago
    The best romantic movie of the 80's. And aged very well.
  • stevencaceres245July 4, 2025
    The original (not directors cut) of this film is amazing. A love letter to cinema and the theater experience. A coming of age store that revolves around film, the love of cinema… and heartbreak. It’s a perfect film
