Movie news can get a little slow at times. Luckily, movie olds is a bottomless well of badness and unintentional hilarity, and that’s why we have the segment Forgotten Classics.
Today’s forgotten classic comes from Richard Horian’s 1987 film Student Confidential, and stars… Richard Horian (this happens a lot on Forgotten Classics). It features some incredibly cheesy music (composed by… you guessed it, Richard Horian), and the following dialog:
Joseph, there will be no concert today. If there were, we would have to trade places. Next time we meet, I want to tell you something I do know about. How to make inordinate amounts of money in the world of business.
And then they hold hands and STARE AT EACH OTHER FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE. It’s creepier than the Hobbit epilogues from Lord of the Rings and Mugatu staring down his assistant in Zoolander combined.
