Michelle Pfeiffer 😍😍😍😍
Dangerous Liaisons had the most electrifying ending to any film.
Michelle Pfeiffer so pretty!
6:23 Glenn Close! Stunning as always! :D
Dennis Quaid looked incredible back in the 80's (and he still does)
and Dangerous liaisons is one of the most deserving winners ever in the adapted screenplay category
Actually it was Barry Morrow was credited as Ronald Bass (and Ronald Bass is credited as Barry Morrow) Barry Morrow actually talks about this in the audio commentary he gave on the DVD of Rain Man, both he and Ron Bass had flipped coins to decide who was going to go first and Barry had won the coin toss so he went first but the Academy had assumed that they were going up as Ronald Bass and Barry Morrow. And the reason why Ronald Bass never got to say anything was that that year they were limited acceptance speeches to 30 seconds which meant that they both got 15 seconds each, but Barry had accidentally went over with his speech. Years later he meet someone and he introduced himself as Barry Morrow and that he won an Academy Award for writing Rain Man, and they automatically said “Oh that Ron Bass was such a jerk, he totally stole your speech time!” But of course that person didn’t remember which person’s face was up there!
Rain Man and Dangerous Liaisons has great screenplay.
have
Michelle Pfeiffer, talented and beautiful! 😍
Dennis Quaid actually played Barry Morrow in the TV movie “Bill”
I enjoy Rain Man, but I think A Fish Called Wanda should’ve won.
This list should have been:
Dangerous Liasons
Accidental Tourist
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Die Hard
I remember watching this award show on tv in 1989 and then went and saw the film Rainman at the local cinema. It was packed on a Sunday afternoon session.
Rain man is overrated at best, Bill Duhram should had won by huge margin
God, I hate it when the orchestra doesn’t let both the winners speak. Ron Bass was barely allowed to get a few words out.
I honestly would've tied Rain Man with Mississippi Burning for Original Screenplay.
I love Rain Man
Christopher Hampton also wrote the wonderful ATONEMENT (2007).
As much as I love Rain Man, Big should've won Best Original Screenplay because it has a much better script. Also, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? should've been nominated and won Best Adapted Screenplay.
