Just added Steve’s Demi Moore You Tube Video to this page. Our thoughts on her movies and his video…found on his channel.
Good video choice. I have seen 27 of the 30 movies listed here. So good movies but some real clunkers (Nothing But Trouble is Nowhere Near Good) as well. I would say her best acting performance was in #5 Margin Call….an excellent ensemble cast movie. Glad to see both Michael Caine movies make the list. #18 Blame it on Rio is a fun movie that I love, while many hate that movie. She has co-starred with many of my favorite actors…Michael Biehn, John Cusack, Bruce Willis and Caine. As for her top movies…I like #1 A Few Good Men…but never been a huge fan of #2 Ghost. #4 Deconstructing Henry is one of the three I have not seen. Voted up
Thanks Bruce, appreciate the comment, vote and share. Whoa 27 out of 30 is amazing, you’re definitely a fan or is it because of her close connection to one of your favorite actors? 😉
My tally 16, Flora 4. I haven’t seen Margin Call, good cast, should check it out. It’s been ages since I saw Blame it on Rio, if it turns up on TV I’ll tivo it. All I remember are shapely girls in bikinis.
Hey Steve…..Margin Call is an amazing movie…so many good performances throughout the movie….and it is based on a true story. Kevin Spacey is amazing as is Moore and Jeremy Irons. You should check it out for sure. Glad to share your video. Not a huge fan of her movies…but I do watch almost every movie that gets a major release…and her movies for along time were “event” movies. Good stuff.
Hey Steve….not thinking Blame It On Rio probably could not be today…..the PC police would have a fit…..but I find it to be a funny movie with a great Caine comedy performance….granted I am biased being such a big Caine fan.
Demi has just 8 films that crashed the Cogerson domestic inflation-adjusted $100 million barrier and in 5 of those she was teamed with mega stars Redford, Nicholson, Cruise and Michael Douglas, and Cameron Diaz and Patrick Swayze who were big stars at the time Demi acted with them. Indeed in Charlie’s Angel 2 with Diaz Demi had just a supporting role and that has been the only commercial hit she has been in during the last 20 years.
So she’s “a light of former days” as a movie star but reportedly after unsuccessful marriages to Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher Demi aged 56 has at last found happiness with 43 year old Serbian hair stylist Masha Mandzuka. Masha has a 2-year old daughter and Demi has 3 daughters from the Willis marriage, the first one born in 1988.
Best POSTERS in your Demi video (1) Striptease (2) Charlie’s Angels 2 (3) Butcher’s Wife (4) 7th Sign (5) Half Light (6) saucy one for Blame it on Rio (7) Scarlet Letter (8) Mortal Thoughts (9) Mr Brooks (10) Deconstructing Harry (11) Hunchback (12) Now and Then(13) Ghost and (14) a very provocative one for Disclosure – probably my own fave Moore role along with Few Good Men.
A lot of classy STILLS the best of which for me are (1) Wisdom – Demi dated Emilio at one stage (2) Demi with gun (3) 7th Sign (4) both for G I Jane – Demi’s most successful stand-alone movie at the worldwide box office after Striptease and indeed her last stand-alone commercial successmovie ever (5) her with John Cusack (6) Mortal Thoughts (7) About Last night (8) Indecent Proposal (9) sexy in St Elmos Fire (10) Disclosure (11) the Ghost Trio (12) raunchy one from Striptease and (13) a very provocative one too from Charlie’s Angels 2
You and WH agree on 5 of Demi’s Top 6 films for Review. He includes Beavis and butt Head in his 6 [probably because Willis was involved] whereas you include Bobby which WH gives a less than good 59% and ranks it way down at 15th. I must confess I didn’t like it much myself, but I rate your video 98%. Demi has a whopping net worth of $150 million and IMDB credits with 13 acting awards and 28 nominations.
Hi Bob, thanks for the comment, generous rating, info and trivia, much appreciated.
Glad you liked the posters, stills and lobby cards.
Demi has a UMR page, of course she has! John Maclaine’s ex.
Demi was vying for top sex symbol of the 90s alongside Sharon Stone, but Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts weren’t as blatantly naughty, they were America’s sweethearts of that time, aaawww!
Bruce has rated Margin Call above A Few Good Men “You can’t handle the truth!”, which makes me curious to see that more recent film.
No movie scored 10 out of 10 from my sources but there is a 9 and it’s not what you think, it’s Woody Allen’s Deconstructing Harry. 7 more scored 8 out of 10 including – Ghost, A Few Good Men and Margin Call.
Demi on working with Michael Caine in Flawless – “Fantastic. I have to say, I’ve certainly grown in having a greater appreciation for who he is. I realized actually, when I was 20 when I did Blame It on Rio, playing his daughter, we didn’t have the resource to be able to watch his films like we have today. Young actors now can go back and find everything. For me to have really been that familiar, I would’ve had to go to those arthouses and really waited to get that little sliver. So now I really have a greater appreciation, which hopefully we do as we get older anyway.”
“There’s this idea that if you take your clothes off, somehow you must have loose morals. There’s still a negative attitude in our society towards women who use a strength that’s inherent – their femininity – in any way that might be considered seductive.”
Meg is up next.
Hey Bob and Steve…good conversation between the two of you….I really enjoyed reading about Demi Moore’s reflections of working with Caine on two different movies two decades apart. Hey Bob…glad you agree about Bobby and our critical ranking versus Steve’s much higher critical ranking. Perfect time as well…as Demi is trending these days for her “new look”.
HI STEVE
Thanks for the feedback, quotes and additional informed opinion.
It’s great that you are doing a video on The Meg next. In the one film in which I saw that big monster it acted all of the humans off the screen. For me it’s up there with Lassie, Little Asta, Trigger, Godzilla, Kong, The Alien, Rin Tin Tin and all the rest of non-humans which achieved international stardom and of course it didn’t even become involved with taking a shirt off to steal the show.
HI BRUCE
1 I was trying to close down this debate but thanks for the bonus feedback. Yeah I can appreciate the link between movies such as the that between Superman 1978 and Superman Returns.
2 I’ve heard no buzz about Willis and Split except from you and sites like The Numbers and Box Office Mojo ignore the connection altogether and do not list it as even an uncredited cameo.
3 Let’s see how Glass does at the box office. At the moment it’s difficult to see where on the face of it any great buzz now or in the future comes from as according to The Numbers the last 14 Willis flicks grossed overall $50 million domestically – ie an average of just over $3.5 million each . Anyway its seems that once again we are looking at a over-the hill actor depending on a very loose franchise to bail out a fading career. It’s very sad.
3 “I think I did a good job in defending the Split decision,” you tell me ignoring the old adage that “Self praise is no recommendation,” but how do we apply an objective test to your contention given that YOU control what goes on the site? !! Because of the latter my own opinions obviously are irrelevant but for what it’s worth my personal impression is that it could well be that you were determined to put that movie in and when I queried the wisdom of your decision you clutched at straws to justify the entry.
4 Anyway I hope you have a good [or at least a spammer -free!] weekend I am a bit miffed though that you haven’t responded to my direct request for information about why in your Bogie/Bacall still in the 1948 Annual review the pair are not in costume if they are supposed to be appearing in a production of Hamlet according to you!
1 HI WORK HORSE For two guys who thought they had nothing further of any consequence to say about Demi we sure have found new points to debate/agree! I agree with most of your observations –will you settle for that? – but I am not sure about your assessment of her as a box office winner, though Penn is not that either in my opinion.
2 In 7 of Demi’s 8 Cogerson “100 million barrier smashers” she had (1) the benefit of mega male stars Redford, Cruise, Nicholson, Mike Douglas and the then-currently-hot, following Dirty Dancing, Patrick Swayze (2) two ensemble voice/only roles for which Box Office Mojo does not give her any box office credit (3) and in Charlie’s Angels 2 she had just a supporting role.
3 Below the 100 million mark St Elmos Fire was ensemble and many of her stand-alone roles such as The Butcher’s Wife,The Scarlet Letter and 7th Sign were flops. Indeed the moderate success of GI Jane could be said to be her only SERIOUS stand-alone hit. Anyway all-in-all her Cogerson table gives her movies a paltry average of $66.5 million in adjusted domestic grosses [and it would take a brave man to argue with HIS figures!.] All in all she bordered on “famous for being famous” in my view [for example by way of the naked pregnancy].
4 However in the latter debate we are straying into Myrna Loy/Walter Brennan territory and whilst I see that you have again gone there today I think I’ll pass and place the Brennan/Loy matters in the “cold case” cabinet along with the closed Joel file. For one thing we don’t want Steve to again accuse us of wasting everybody’s time though I see he may oblige me to make one final Loy comment on 2 stills that he proposes to show us this week involving her. {You now probably won’t leave your computer until they appear!]
“Harry who is that boring you man up the dining table who hasn’t said a word all night? He must be only about 30 odd and yet he never converses with fellow diners.”
“Oh and would you believe it he was once the life and soul of the party Dorian and nobody could get him to shut up!”
“What on earth happened to him Harry?
“Well one day he just decided that he had said everything in life that he had to say before he turned 30 and after that fell silent.”
[Oscar Wilde: The Picture of Dorian Gary]
Hey Bob…..good points….but like the Loy argument….I think the main lead actress gets credit for big movies….and yes Moore was with some big stars in her blockbusters….but she was the lead actress. Her 5 year peak was pretty incredible……and why she became the highest paid actress in Hollywood….and for a 5 year run…..but like many many other actresses….that star dimmed quickly. I like the Dorian quote.
HI BRUCE
My understanding is that box office prestige in Hollywood is related to the capacity to “open” a film and not to whether or not an actress for example is the leading lady in some movies- somebody has to be. Cruise, Douglas and Nicholson in those days were good at opening movies and Cruise still does it whereas I have doubts about Demi’s capacity as an “opener”, indeed all the evidence suggest otherwise and when that was realised “Gimme More” was no more.

4 You can USUALLY if you try hard enough cherry-pick reasons for discriminating in favour of one actor if you so wish though it’s worth noting that you have conceded that you can’t defend your decision to credit Split to Mr Moore However I rest my case*** but let’s just hope those politically correct “feminists” in W o C’s work don’t latch on to these comparisons! You can of course check out for yourself that I am reliably quoting the sources concerned
***”There is this childish conviction among the English and American commentators and elite that whoever has had the last word has won the argument.” [Leon Trotsky]
Hey Bob….The Numbers has some good information…which makes me always say…..”Variety is the spice of life”. I like that they have the supporting roles and leading roles…something we have looked at doing…but have never come up with a way to implement.
In my eyes…huge difference between Moore in Young Doctor’s In Love and Willis in Slight…..Moore was an unknown actress who I think (longtime since I have seen that movie) is somebody in the shadows of the movie….while Bruce’s appearance in Slight had people’s minds exploding when he showed up at the end of Slight.
Like many of our discussions…we will have to agree to disagree.
1 HI BRUCE Yes but Virginia Mayo was in the Demi Moore position when she made Up in Arms and you still credited her with that gross even though she was a virtually unknown newcomer and an uncredited extra in the film.
“The boy in the grey flannel suit here has been bouncing back and forward like a rubber ball all night!” – Lee J Cobb 12 Angry Men about Robert Webber’s equivocating Juror No
2 Also your initial concession that you couldn’t defend the Willis Split decision suggests to me a possible inclination to now concoct a reason to suit personal preferences.
3 Maybe a lot of people’s minds were “exploding” by too the sight of Brando in Superman Returns and the sound of his voice-over. Anyway whilst naturally I have no knowledge of what affects YOUR mind unfortunately so far few minds would appear to have been exploded by even Willis’ full-length role in the Death Wish remake [$40 million worldwide after a month’s release] so that it is difficult to accept on the face of it that his quick appearance in Split made any difference to the box office success of a movie that probably most people didn’t know he was in.
4 However if you have hard evidence to the contrary [apart from possibly hyperbolic subjective impressions] as a stats buff I’d be interested in your sharing it with me. Maybe I’m missing something though because in your 6.40am post your keep referring to a Willis movie named SLIGHT so are we debating at cross purposes? Many thanks.
PS Am using your very helpful 1948 annual review for a private exercise of mine on that decade. Great stuff and good miniature of Bogie and Bacall – but why did Humph not don costume if he was going to play the Prince of Denmark ?!
I think I did a good job of defending the Split inclusion….you just are not seeing it that way….I do not like horror movies…..and his appearance in that movie got me to see that horror movie in theaters…..as I am sure some of the other Bruce fans did the same. And now with Glass getting so much buzz…..because of the Bruce appearance….and the bridge between Unbreakable and Glass….it only makes it even more important to include the movie.
Glad you are enjoying the 1948 page…..we are now covered from 1931 to 1964….closing in on 40 straight years. Good feedback as always.
