    For our final Gerard Butler movie of the summer, it’s the generic snooze PLAYING FOR KEEPS (2012), in which Gerry finally gets to play a Scotsman!

    #DavidsMonthOfMusic Sept 4 - song you love from movie you don't Playing For Keeps was a terrible 80's movie about teens opening a hotel. But the soundtrack was ok, and this song especially shined. My favorite Phil Collins song. "We Said Hello, Goodbye" by Phil Collins

    'We Love You' was released on this day in November 1986. OMD's second single from 'The Pacific Age' album, it was originally written for the 1986 film 'Playing for Keeps', although rewritten and rearranged for the album version.🎹 The single reached No. 54 in the UK charts.📀

    They said it couldn't be done (?) but we are covering PLAYING FOR KEEPS (2012)! In this episode, we do bad accents, talk the 10 year journey this film took, and how we have to just… deal with it existing. Apple: bit.ly/40T1vFZ Spotify: bit.ly/4aKlwlh

    Not sure this counts since I had to look up the movie because I barely remember it. Playing for Keeps - it wasn't good and was very forgettable BUT it was the very first showing at a new theater that opened by us. I snuck out of work, and the owner talked to the 12 or so of us beforehand. 4/4

    The song was originally penned for 1986 film 'Playing For Keeps' (where it's listed as 'We Love You (Maximus)'), although it never featured on the official OST. Check out the use of the original version in the film here: youtu.be/F0XSq90Ez9c?...

    Watching a movie called Playing for Keeps where Gerard Butler stars as “what if Kenny Dalglish went to America and fucked up his life, but every woman wanted to fuck him”

    I had never heard of the movie "Playing For Keeps," but I like the Phil Collins song. And any movie with Harvey Weinstein in the credits 3 times must be good.
