Playing for Keeps 1986

[@Flightrisk2]

Watched this so many times in the 80s, it was great to find it on YT! Thanks a million!

[@eiderglast]

one of the most memorable films I've seen that have shaped my views of true friendship.

[@cargoDROID]

You have Harvey Weinstein to thank for your views of true friendship.

[@holybear]

That's frankly a sad statement

[@eiderglast]

Outside of Weinstein, it was a nice simple story about friends sticking together thru thick and thin... It's all a matter of perspective. Knew this film way before I knew the vileness of the author... Same way we separate the art from the monster...

100% Well Said Brother

[@terryrollins1973]

So grateful I grew up in the 80s. Love this movie 😊❤

[@kkeesler67]

My senior high school class of 1985 were in this film as extras for the graduation scene at the beginning. ❤

[@mis2preciosas]

Nice!

[@foreverwinona]

I love this movie. I’ve been looking for it to watch again for years. Haven’t seen it since it was at the cinema. Thanks for uploading 😊

[@Beo_TigersEye]

Just discovered this movie and takes place in my hometown in Hawley, PA!!! I forgot to mention that my uncle played the pinball machines right at the end of the film!

[@punkinhed81]

Just discovered it too. I'm from Hamlin. A fre people I knew of were in it!

[@myinnapeaceministries7545]

This movie is so 80's! I love it!

[@Gothiczartan]

Real 80s.

[@Gothiczartan]

Just because this is not the 80s anymore (only in reality) that doesn't not mean those decades are forgotten. Those todays younger generation really got to see this movie no matter what. It's part of the real 1980s museum.

[@annemariecandyflip6531]

I watched this movie over and over again back then, must be over 30 years ago!!!

[@jewelqueen5949]

YES!!! Me too!

[@Gothiczartan]

This movie make a great reference for Stranger Things. This movie is dedicate to the todays casual audience.

[@PSTA]

Been looking for the jewel for about 20 years!! Saw this movie at the drive in. When it came out. I was 8 and loved it since!!! 🙏🏽 thank you for uploading this

[@soundlemonade]

5:10 is what I wish I could've said to my high school. I frickin love this movie.

[@lovineveryminuetofit1314]

Omg, I was born in 73, and thought I seen all 80's movies, how have I never seen this?!?! Good movie, had my attention from start to finish

[@jason75]

Hey kid, I was born in 69, respect me lol great movie, love all the 80s teen movies, seen them all back then

[@hollowfyre]

Thank you so much. I just got to relive part of my childhood "I rip out your heart! I eat it!" Such an underrated movie

[@abdulhouser]

I remember seeing this on cable everyday!

[@jewelqueen5949]

My bro and I still quote this movie regularly (him 40, me 46). I don't think I've ever moved into an apartment or house, with out calling it the "Hotel Majestic"s". "MTV in every room!!!"

[@Roberto-cq5yc]

Born in '78 here....yeah saw this on TV when I was 10 and still use: "MTV in every room!!!" LOL

[@edmundbranney9254]

been looking for movie for a long time thank you. forgotten memories from childhood watched movie over and over on vhs pop recorder. its a wonder no one has started a site for music and movies

[@bengosselin8005]

lol for some reason I love this. Great soundtrack too

[@MrsBlaileen1]

Love the Phil Collins song…

[@bengosselin8005]

@@MrsBlaileen1 Ya it's great. Deserves to be one of his hits

[@Gothiczartan]

This is the real 1980s. I remember seeing the first part where a girl trying to do her grocery shopping and the cashier close the lane then those guys were at the diner after. That was my favorite part of this movie.

[@talanor69]

Main street small town, is my hometown. Hawley, PA

[@douglasmoore5192]

what a movie . loved it. Marisa was stunning

[@TheRealKingMichael]

Yes I loved it too. Weinstein should have directed more movies

[@MrsBlaileen1]

@@TheRealKingMichael Well….

[@jimhults4916]

Well, I saw her on Untamed Heart at the movie theater in February of this year and she is sweet.

[@Paul_Warren_Wolfe]

Thank you for posting this! I saw this in the theatre back in '86... they were giving away t-shirts and soundtrack cassettes... always remembered it but haven't seen it in 36 years until today...

[@karendoody4581]

love this movie.....thanks for posting it....can't find anywhere

[@RadioGaGago]

Most awesome credit music ever, basically!

[@corrbenbernsten4902]

Thanks for the upload

[@jwg5774]

Used to have this on VHS ages ago. Recorded it off of HBO. Lost the tape somewhere along the line. Never could find a factory copy and its almost never replayed anywhere. Its one of those nearly forgotten films that just fell through the cracks of time.

[@bleedingme666]

I Just bought an ex rental Betamax copy of it today in fantastic condition . Can't wait to see it 👍🏻

[@sablesenegal7488]

I watched this movie when it first premiered in 1986 I was a Marisa tomei fan since she was a former as the world turns soap opera star

[@sablesenegal7488]

Marisa ended up on the the different world TV show in 1987

[@marklendhurst1193]

This movie features an absolutely rare track by Arcadia (Duran Duran spin off) called Say the Word. It was the last Arcadia track before Duran Duran reunites for Notorious. It was supposed to be called American War according to Simon Lebon. The version in the movie sounds like a rough demo. I assume Mark Egan is on bass but no one really knows. He played on the So Red the Rose album. Before I was aware of this movie I honeymooned in the Pocono Mountains area totally unaware how close the Woolworth Mansion was from there used as the Majestic. I too love this movie even though its not really that good though I believe it is.

[@Gagasfave_itsniaa]

Thanks.. could not find it on any Duran Duran album

[@kevinobrien9626]

Where in the Poconos were you? (The mansion seems to be in Scranton).

[@animefan25]

I would love to see a sequel to this set years later. Maybe have Danny and Chloe married with children.

[@James-tt1cv]

A good mid-80s movie

[@Gothiczartan]

I remember this movie and seen it in 1992 after I moved to Virginia living at my folk's house before I knew the same of the movie and what year it came out. I've been looking for that movie for over 20 years.

[@Gothiczartan]

That diner scene was really hilarious.

[@RaphaelBlaze]

Cheers for uploading this fella, been looking for it for ages!

[@shellybliss1549]

Me too!! If I would've checked out Marissa's movies I would've found it much sooner!!

[@stevetitiml3463]

Looking for this movie for a while

[@Gothiczartan]

"NOBODY MESSES WITH MY FOOD!"

[@Gothiczartan]

My favorite part of the scene where those guys at the diner had their meals messed by three men. It was Henry's idea to take advantage of those city people.

[@jackmort5015]

The poor man's Footloose.

[@lisataylor130]

thanx love this movie

[@sherronrimmer4536]

I miss the 80s, so fun!!!

[@fedupmomma1309]

The Manson used for the Hotel is. B&B in Bethany, PA. Its haunted too.

[@cold10er]

Saw this when it was new...loved it despite the cheesy singing at the end..always thought it was goofy

[@vernkay.]

I had a similar experience when a former boss of mine bought an old run down hotel in the village of Lumby British Columbia where I was a cook at and the locals were afraid of us new guys in town and did everything possible to sabotage us with lies and rumors about us that were not true.

Silk was in 3-2-1 Contact.

Also Beat Street!

[@dragonboy882]

I laughed when that Tony guy got sprayed with water

[@TheRealKingMichael]

HARVEY WEINSTEIN and his brother Bob directed it

[@GabrielSC174]

awesome !

[@jimhults4916]

40:07 Why Caroline didn't get in line. She work at the diner along with Adam (Christian Slater) who work at the same restaurant.

[@gregorytipton6352]

Even as an Eagle Scout, I got a kick out of them raising money as fake Boy Scouts.

[@jason75]

Hey Danny looks like Eric Estrada, and marina tomei looks cute in this movie

[@robertaphelps]

marisa

[@dragonboy882]

Loved it at 9:59 when that guy Tony got drenched with water in his denim jacket

[@cargoDROID]

I love how no one commenting has any awareness WHY they can't find this anywhere else. Did you read the opening credits? I don't think distributors are rushing towards the Weinsteins' catalog these days.

[@cargoDROID]

This is the best KZbin comment I've ever read

[@dillonzulauf8689]

I thought it was the movie that Molly ringwald played in were she got pregnant after graduation an had to get married that movie was called playing for keeps

[@Iksvomid]

A Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein movie. Seeing that in the beginning brings back memories...

[@bitter37]

A bunch of inner city youths open a hotel for kids only! What could possibly go wrong?

[@Thepromisedbride]

This is not Molly Ringwald's movie I hope you know that.

[@jewelqueen5949]

😄😄😄 ...but that one was good too!

[@Gothiczartan]

Of course Molly is not in this movie. This is a good movie for everyone of all decades from the past, present and future.

[@jenniferpetti859]

I used to live in the area where this was filmed. I moved there from NYC. Hawley is a cute place but really boring

[@ADSuri]

49:37...This really WAS written by Harvey Weinstein! 😄 😂 😄

[@mannisiaxel2949]

and directed

[@cargoDROID]

perfect timing, well played

[@MrsBlaileen1]

And co-directed by he and his brother…

[@adamunknown]

Just bought the LP

[@MaxViking]

What the name of the song? At the begin?

[@bigstone7776]

Life To Life by The Who guitarist, and singer Pete Townshend!

[@Hakkspettafarriss]

Hi, can anyone tell me whats the song playing on minute 20, i think it could be OMD but I donno. thanks for your help!

[@eiderglast]

you're spot on. it is OMD, : We Love you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYe4Yaucba2mpM0

[@TheGRLFRNDS]

I bet the guy who directed this has disgusting mangled genitalia (perhaps from complications for a treatment for herpes - who knows). Idk why I just get that vibe.

[@MrsBlaileen1]

Can’t believe Harvey Weinstein and his brother co-directed this…

[@BF-cu1hu]

Directed by Harvey Weinstein

[@MrsBlaileen1]

Hope Marisa was ok…

[@lindseyshaffer9233]

This is not,…. Molly ringwalds movie playing for keeps lol

[@TravonJamelGreen]

There's an f-word in PG-13

[@hevyonez97]

The PG-13 rating made it possible for 1-3 usages of the word "fuck" in movies after being created in 1984, also depending on how it's implied...

[@TravonJamelGreen]

Yes it was!

[@jwg5774]

A PG-13 rating not only allowed limited use of adult language but also allowed film makers to insert brief topless or bare bottom scenes, but never full frontal.

[@TravonJamelGreen]

Okay 😒
