this is one of my favorite movies and certainly one of my favorite rom coms! Cher, Nicolas Cage, Italians in New York falling in love and gossiping. it’s beautiful, so deeply funny, incredible score.

My fav Moonstruck factoid is that Cher threatened to quit when the studio tried to cast someone else as Ronny. She said that only Nicholas Cage could yell “bring me the big knife” the right way

A very cheery romcom with a messy, subtly dark sense of humor and pure Italian-American excellence. Not sure there's been a more perfectly matched screen couple in terms of strangeness of acting style and beauty than Nicolas Cage and Cher are here. That's Amore!

When Harry Met Sally for Italians. Showed this to one of my best friends while she was staying with me — its her first time in New York so obviously I had to show her this piece of local culture.. For the uninitiated, it’s Cher! it’s Nicholas Cage (who is inexplicably sexy in this..)! it’s 1980s Brooklyn and it’s Italian! I mean right off the bat opening track is that’s amore. The moon is hitting eyes like big pizza pies fr. exceptionally quotable, it’s silly and heartwarming, full of romantic and familial love, Nic has a fake hand and Cher has really good outfits. They have such freak romantic and sexual chemistry and its the perfect level of camp where something goofy happens and it still surprises and delights you each time.

Generally really like romcoms but this is just so fun and human and lovely! Barely saw it for the first time this easter but had to get my 4k criterion copy to rewatch asap (thank you bi-annual sale!) Anyway, tap in!
