Brewster's Millions
Directed by Walter Hill
Monty Brewster, an aging minor-league baseball player, stands to inherit $300 million if he can successfully spend $30 million in 30 days without anything to show for it, and without telling anyone what he's up to... A task that's a lot harder than it sounds! From TMDB

It's like Elon is actively trying to squander his fortune but keeps getting more money so he must squander HARDER. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewste...
neutral · AI labelView post →This basically the premise to Richard Pryor's movie "Brewster's Millions" except that one of the rules was that you cannot buy or own anything. At the end of the month you must have spent the money and have nothing to show for it. The answer is politics. Spend it all on a political campaign.

positive · AI labelView post →ALLLLSO happy 41st birthday to BREWSTER'S MILLIONS, a movie that holds a disproportionately large place in my heart because I was nine when it came out and it was PG so I got to see it in the theater and I've loved it ever since. Wrote about it at some length in my Pryor book:

positive · AI labelView post →Ohh boy, my time to shine. I'll try to break it down based on safeness. I'll avoid listing some obvious ones, like main Disney movies. There may be some spoilers in my notes. Also "suggestive" may be more accurate as level of awkwardness. And everything is my opinion. As safe as can be: * Arrival (while the military is involved I don't recall there being any violence) * Brewster's Millions * Cars * Cast Away (there's the part where he's testing out hanging himself but IIRC it's not…

neutral · AI labelView post →I prefer the idea that Kidman and Bullock had some sort of Brewster's Millions-esque contract for the first one that they must appear in a sequel within 30 years in fact that would probably make a much more entertaining film tbh

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching the 1945 version of Brewster's Millions (which I only recently learned existed) and they have a TV set, which is very early for a non-science-fiction movie to have the tech. I wonder what the first movie to feature a TV set was outside of sci-fi.
neutral · AI labelView post →There was a movie that described something slightly similar to this called Brewster's Millions. I would be all for a movie that highlights the details of a scenario like this called Brewster's Billions.

Add in the movie Brewster's Millions, released the same year, and I couldn't catch a break. That being said, great flick!

positive · AI labelView post →I most frequently want to watch a good, solid 7 out of 10 movie that makes me feel good no matter how many times I've seen it. The king of these movies is Brewster's Millions (1985). I've seen it 50 times and I'll happily see it another 50 times
positive · AI labelView post →You couldn't make a movie like "Brewster's Millions" today, because the obvious solution to the whole plot is just to give the money to Trump and poof! problem solved.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the movie "Brewster's Millions" starring Richard Pryor - he launches a political campaign to have everyone vote for "None of the above." That's what I feel like right now.
neutral · AI labelView post →I had this plot idea that's kind of a Producers/Brewster's Millions situation where someone is making an everyday life movie like Marriage Story but due to accounting shenanigans at the studio they have been assigned a massive CG budget and they must spend all of it or go bankrupt

neutral · AI labelView post →Brewster's Millions is the best 7-out-of-10 1980s movie. I love Silver Streak too. And Uncle Buck. I think maybe Planes, Trains and Automobiles is an 8-out-of-10 1980s movie so it might not count in this review

negative · AI labelView post →Brewster's Millions. Although we are probably due for a remake. And I didn't know the film from 1985 was based on a 1902 novel until about 15 years ago when I spent about 6 months at work reading public domain books and read the book.

"You have to spend $30 million in a year to inherit $300 million, or you can take $1 million now and walk away." "I'll take the million thanks. You assholes can tear yourselves apart over the rest."
neutral · AI labelView post →Here's the thing: I am watching this for the first time in at least 20 years. It was, at the time I saw it, my least favorite Walter Hill movie by far aside from probably BREWSTER'S MILLIONS. I didn't hate it! It was just...fine? I know I rewatched it once and still thought it was only okay. So.
