Pretty Woman was one of the best movies. I watch it every time it comes on cable. Runaway Bride was just ok.

And her singing (or trying to) Prince in the tub!

@LTT1 😂😂😂 I do not think Prince would have appreciated it! She butchered his song, bless her heart!!!!😂😂

I LOVE❤ Julia Roberts movies, but Runaway Bride just did not captivate me the way Pretty Woman did! That role was perfectly suited for her, and the tender rags-to-riches  love story held my interest!❤❤❤ I must admit the handsome Richard Geer was mostly responsible!🥰 You cannot think of the movie and NOT think of the infamous laugh!😁

Re: that laugh when Richard Gere snaps the box closed was in reality, an ad lib!

It wasn't part of the script, but so hilarious!

There was also an alternate ending with Julia being a drug addict and when she od's, he dumps her body in a dark alley.

I like the other ending better!

@KingstonMom WOW! THANK you SO much for that interesting factoid!😁 That makes the laugh scene even more special! I am SOOOO glad they chose the better ending.❤👍

I saw "Pretty Woman" once on cable TV which was enough for me. I know a lot of people love that movie, but I'm not one of them. 

Never saw "Runaway Bride". Not interested.

@wilma ...I think I am one of the very few people who is not a fan of Julia Roberts...I did see Pretty Woman, mainly because of Richard Gere...lol...and I felt throughout the movie that Julia Roberts acted more like a very silly school girl rather than an Escort service.

I love Diane Lane and Richard Gere together....NIghts of Rodanthe, Unfaithful...They have great chemistry and I felt that she would have been much better in the role of Pretty Woman as an Escort.

I did love Steel Magnolias but the entire cast in that movie were excellent.

I'm not a JR fan either.  I've seen a few of her other films which IMO are better than Pretty Woman. 

I choose to watch something based on the topic more than the cast. In the case of Pretty Woman the topic didn't appeal to me at all, but everyone kept telling me I had to see it. Well, I did, and I will politely say I didn't care for it.

I agree with you. Sorry, I do not see this movie as a love story.  The whole premise of a john falling in love with a hooker just doesn't seem romantic to me.

Julia's character (Vivian) is portrayed as child like which I find creepy

I love pretty woman and have watched many times And also a big fan of Julia Roberts. Hector Elizondo is great in every movie I’ve seen him in. I enjoyed him in the Princess Diaries With Julie Andrews

To those who don't like the movie or Julia Robert's...I say "take a walk on the wild side"!
There is nothing at all serious about it

and in person I don't like Richard Gere. But for having a fantasy movie, 

I appreciate both actors!

There was a movie in which Julia Robert's was a step mother.

My DD (junior high age) and I went to see it in the theater.

Here I was busy getting all emotionally involved

and she states (rather loudly) "her lips are upside-down". LOL

ONE OF MY BEST LAUGHS EVER!
