Description:
A call girl helps a Princeton applicant turn his home into a one-night brothel.
Amazon.com
Little did Tom Cruise know that he would become a box-office superstar after he cranked up some Bob Seeger and played air guitar in his underwear. But there's more to this 1983 hit than the arrival of a hot young star. Making a stylish debut, writer-director Paul Brickman crafted a subtle satire of crass materialism wrapped in an irresistible plot about a crafty high schooler named Joel (Cruise) who goes into risky business with the beguiling prostitute Lana (Rebecca De Mornay) while his parents are out of town. Joel turns his affluent Chicago-suburb home into a lucrative bordello and forms a steamy personal and professional partnership with Lana, but only as long as the two can avoid the vengeful pimp Guido (Joe Pantoliano) and keep their customers happy. A signature film of the 1980s, Risky Business still holds up thanks to Cruise's effortless charm and the movie's timeless appeal as an adolescent male fantasy. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Few Movies I liked with Cruise.
Risky Business is an oldie but goodie. Its funny and has a lesson to be learned. I enjoyed this film you will laugh and have a good time with this 80s flick.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Blu-Ray of a Great Movie For A Great Price!
While no Academy Award Winner, I'd forgotten what a great movie this is!This was THE movie of 1983, for anyone remotely near their teenage years at the time. Has it really been nearly 30 years? It's easy to bury this in a sea of teenage coming-of-age comedies that were the rage at that time, but this one's a stand-out!The movie that made Tom Cruise's career (well before he became a wack-a-doo tabloid-fodder Scientologist talk-show freak, LOL!). This movie was basically a "first" for several up-coming '80's actors like Bronson Pinchot ("Beverly Hills Cop"), Curtis Armstrong ("Revenge of the Nerds", "Moonlighting"), Joe Pantoliano ("The Soprano's"), in addition to the lovely Rebecca DeMornay ("Hand That Rocks the Cradle") and, of course, Cruise. The "Stars" (actually not yet quite stars), DeMornay and Cruise, deliver honest performances: you actually believe they are who they're portraying! DeMornay in particular is a standout as a gorgeous, young street-wise yet vulnerable "lady of the night".Amazing vid and audio quality for a shoe-string budget '80's flick. I've never seen this movie look this good! The moody Tangerine Dream synth soundtrack melds well interspersed with some good 'ole Rock 'n Roll. While the cars, clothes, hairstyles and "props" may be dated, the movie has aged remarkably well. While there is a certain sense of nostalgia to the piece...for those of us who lived throught the period and were of the same age as the featured actors...you tend to forget that its 1983 and just enjoy the movie.Lots of great movie quotes and memorable scenes abound amongst the outrageous storyline, and they throw in a bunch of extras features, like a "making of" documenatry, alternate ending, trailer, etc...all mostly in HD (except the Cruise/DeMornay Screen test, which was videotaped at the producer's house). There's also the obligatory comment track by Cruise, the producer, etc.While clearly a reflection of the Reaganomics capitalistic mindset pervasive in the early '80's, this is a movie that, IMHO, will resonate with many generations, not just those Baby and post-Baby Boomers who saw this first run! This "adolescent" comedy is quite a bit darker and much more substantive than the typical ilk that abounded at that time.Highly Recommmended!
3.0 out of 5 stars OK but sort of dumb
The packaging is almost impossible to break into. The movie was ok but kinda dumb. It's 90 minutes. I could only sit through 45 minutes even to see a young Tom Cruise.The scene where Cruise lip syncs Old Time Rock and Roll is in the firs ten minutes. That is worth the price of admission. The rest is all downhill.YMMV
Classic movie on DVD

The atmosphere and lack of cell phones and technology makes this a classic. You must watch this movie at least once in your lifetime.
