Subject: need 80's movie help!
??? my mythology teacher has a running bet that nobody in the class can find out the name of the mid-80's movie (it's a common movie -still being played on TV today, so i'm assuming it's popular) in which a guy tries to hook up with a girl by explaining the story/origins of two constellations (andromeda and cassiopeia). can anybody help?
Subject: Re: need 80's movie help!
I believe it just might be Mystic Pizza. In the film, the character played by Annabeth Gish works part time at the local planetarium. She falls for an older, married man (played by William Moses) who I believe was a college professor. At any rate, I seem to remember a scene where they are talking about Andromeda and Cassiopeia and that they kiss, or something along those lines. The movie also starred Julia Roberts, Lilli Taylor and Vincent D'Onfrio. Hope this helps! :)

And if my bottomless pit of trivia is correct, it also features a very young Matt Damon ;)
I was surprised that I actually liked this movie, it was really quaint and cute :)

How about you just give us mad props then? ;D
And please be sure to tell us what the real answer was :P Just in case ;)
Subject: Re: need 80's movie help!
EC is correct; a very young Matt Damon did indeed have a small, one-line role in Mystic Pizza!
Let us know if that is the correct answer, Christinah! :)

I was thinking that the movie is "overboard"? doesn't he talk about the lovers that become constellations in the sky?

Subject: Re: need 80's movie help!
It's been a long time since I've seen Overboard, so I don't recall that scene from the movie. Christinah, did your teacher reveal the answer yet? :)
Subject: Re: need 80's movie help!
ahhh FINALLY the answer has been revealed! The movie was The Sure Thing, starring Mr. John Cusack (no wonder there were no hints given on who was in it - would have made it easier to figure out!) ::)
Subject: Re: need 80's movie help!
The Sure Thing? Why didn't I remember that? :D
