So, if there's anything I can do for you or, more to the point, to you just let me know.

Mitch: The weirdest thing just happened to me.

Chris: Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

Mitch: No...

Chris:  Why am I the only one who has that dream?

I love this ending.  Not only is Everybody Wants to Rule the World one of the more iconic and timeless songs from the 1980s, musically and lyrically, but the Cold War theme of the song was perfect for this movie

Came here to post this.  Definitely an all-time great 80's flick.

Considering the type of people you are and the environment you're in, you have to admit the strong possibility this may be the only chance you ever have in your entire lives... to have sex.

I know this is a great song but my favorite song from this movie is actually the song “One Night Love Affair” by Bryan Adams.  That song is 80’s greatness and I am definitely not a Bryan Adams fan (Then again, “Cuts Like a Knife” is pretty good also so maybe I am a Bryan Adams fan).

Good article, but I can't say I agree with any of this.

Real Genius is admittedly a bit cheesy. The plot is predictable, the characters are pretty basic, and the dialogue can be clunky. And it goes without saying that the sexually frustrated virgin nerds ogling hot cosmetology students in bikinis during the pool party reflects hopelessly outdated stereotypes on several fronts

"reflects hopelessly outdated stereotypes on several fronts."  First of all, the nerds lusting after hot women in movies is literally a century-old Hollywood trope.  

Second, how the fuck do you complain that a stereotype is outdated in a review of a film that you just got done telling is us 35 years old?  But otherwise, the article and this thread has persuaded me to go back and watch it late tonight.  It's been decades since I've watched it all the way through.  Funny ass movie though.  

Did Mitch's haircut and the fact he looked like Sarah Jessica Parker (of the same era)  bother anybody else?  I looked him up on imdb.com  Holy shit, I highly recommend against doing this.  Gabriel Jarret has, um...aged...um, curiously. He looks like the B-movie equivalent of Guy Fieri.
