Showgirls is all over my notifications today.

[@Graterstuuf]

Just another Verhoeven classic. Elizabeth was brilliant.

[@sadistikalchemist]

Meanwhile RLM just released their review of this film today XD

[@djarcadian]

Lol. I just got done watching that and here I am. Is there some type of Showgirls anniversary I'm not aware of?

Hey geniuses, imagine uploading still images and audio from an interview in three hours of the a very popular youtube channel posting. Can you brainiacs even fathom that it wasnt a coincidence?

[@chdd99]

@@DamTheKid it’s the lord’s intervention.

[@DIOBrando-ij2bp]

Yeah, it’s probably not a coincidence this came a few hours afterwards.

RLM drops a video and the youtube film community shakes

[@alexchernandez88]

I really like the cinematography of Jost Vacano (Das boot, robocop, soldier of orange) and actually this has some of his best work IMO. perfectly captured 90's Vegas

[@ja3482]

She has an incredibly good and healthy attitude about the whole experience. It's a shame her career didn't go a whole lot better vs. some of the more entitled, ungrateful actresses. From what I remember about the movie, it probably took a lot of prep work for the role and to have critics (most of whom have never had the guts to do anything really creative) delight in slamming it would have been rough.

This movie is a big part of my childhood I miss the 90s.

[@TheTrashStash]

i honestly love showgirls. i think it's my favorite verhooeven film, at least out of his american productions. i havent seen any of his stuff from when he lived in the netherlands.

[@Sangria]

At least she was so excited about the film!

[@yashnigam6]

I see what you did there

[@astrogallotron]

Today is Showgirls Sunday!

[@DrinkinZima]

Was 10 in 1995… still love this movie.

[@pineapplejuice13]

The opening shot of the movie is one of the best ever

[@TwoWrights]

Unfair how slammed this movie has been over the years. The documentary You Don’t Nomi is a good readjustment for the discourse around Showgirls.

[@paulking187]

Never understood the contempt for this movie and she was brilliant in it.

[@SamL12345]

I honestly think she's amazing in the film, I can't think of anyone who would do a better job then her in Showgirls.

[@WorldWideDarkskingur2031]

Child actors always want to be set free from the roles they they are known for. Showgirls is and will always be a cult classic. (And she as in First Wives Club it's not the size of the role but the execution of the character being played.) 👍😌 Thank you for taking risk for the craft of acting!

[@manlyscents]

At least she made a big movie after the sitcom, unlike 99.9% of sitcom actors.

[@bobmclennan1727]

She's excellent in a supporting role in an odd little movie called "Roger Dodger," one of Jesse Eisenberg's first movies.

[@ishotmyboss]

Mark Paul Gosslar made a few movies after.

[@ishotmyboss]

I think Slater played a famous swimmer in a biopic?

[@TheOtherKine]

There is nothing wrong with the film. Unfortunately it was WAY ahead of its time, as well as being so perfect of its time at the same time. It's a shame the American attitude towards S3X always wrecks these perfect masterpieces of "American" cinema at its fullest. It's literally Singing in the Rain of the modern era. And then look at what happened to DANCE movies AFTER that!!!! Just because this one happened to be more ADULT, perhaps European in style, since the director comes from that background of the freer minded European attitude for s3x, the film is American through and through, and it has gained more respect and platitudes NOW than ever, because it's such an iconic thing to have done it at THAT time. All the dance trends that came after on TV with the reality shows and all the kids dance movies should thank Showgirls for starting it off.

[@mega6836]

Damn is something in the water supply? Showgirls, Showgirls, Showgirls today

[@MintyFreshTurds]

This is one of the tests for when you get a new girlfriend, her candid opinion of Showgirls. It's like the Clockwork Orange of the 90's bruh.

[@alexpollock6932]

Is there some sort of showgirls convention happening right now that I’m not aware of?

[@goldennuggetofwisdom5068]

Its just 2 hours of pure entertainment. Its funny, its shocking, its smart, its stupid, its sexy. Its an experience as well as an emotional workout lol.

[@zerodreaming]

Showgirls is actually super underrated, no joke.

[@recommendacious8026]

It's a masturpiece. Paul Verhoeven is a genius

[@gypsydildopunks7083]

[@checkdown3774]

Greatest movie ever.

[@simonl2072]

2024....we are still talking about the movie

[@Fr.O.G.]

The only movie I ever walked out of, which, to be fair, was only because I'd come to the theatre with someone else, and they'd walked out of it, which mean I wouldn't have a ride home if I didn't go too.

[@ethanholgate2512]

Showgirls is an excellent movie don't care what anyone says

[@TheJonnyEnglish]

Wild movie

[@Terelon]

It is the ultimate so bad it's good movie

[@threeone6012]

It was much better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again.

[@kach069]

Guilty pleasure.

[@sirid2987]

It’s not a perfect movie, but it’s entertaining. Cult following is written all over it

[@doogboh]

If Paul gets Basil or (especially) Jerry to score, I'll bet that the movie would've at least seemed better.

[@likearollingstone007]

What a turnip

[@Mickey-1994]

Lame, this is from like 1996.

[@ThefetchNZ]

Best cult movie after Rocky Horror. No offence.

[@plymouths99]

Sad she use to be super hot! Why do they let themselves go??🤔

[@arturoalmazan5262]

it was badly written; acted but who gives a crap. it wasnt the best movie whatever but ; the people; that enjoy it not just because of nude chicks on screen; but wanted to be entertained. i know i did
