    There is a kind of magic when the books you read have commonalities. In The Friday Afternoon Club, they want Griffin Dunne to star in the movie of The Hotel New Hampshire. And now in Nobody’s Empire, the protagonist is reading The Hotel New Hampshire.

    Like everyone else, A Prayer for Owen Meany is my favorite all time book. There’s a movie of the Hotel New Hampshire with a very young Rob Lowe. I also loved the book with The Door in the Floor - I don’t remember the book name but they made a movie and a kids book from it.

    Susie the Bear! The Hotel New Hampshire was my favourite of Irving's novels, maybe also because it was the first of his I read. Not sure I ever watched the film? What a lovely image...

    Like The Hotel New Hampshire, this movie is also a bit subversive and very "controversial" at the time. One of Martin Scorsese's very best: The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) May 1st: A spiritual theme #Bales2025FilmChallenge #Bales2025MovieChallenge #Filmsky #moviesky 🎬🎥

    I finished reading Katherine Dunn’s “Geek Love.” What a beautiful and grotesque kick in the balls. If Chuck Palahniuk dozed off to Tod Browning’s movie “Freaks” while reading John Irving’s “The Hotel New Hampshire,” this is probably what he’d start writing when he woke up. #books

    35. The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving I read the book years before I saw the movie, in my Irving era of reading, and this menagerie of characters made a deep impression.

    Absolutely! Everyone is great in it. It came out right when I was moving from book buff to movie fanatic and watching the moves that need to be made to "edit" a book to get it to film size taught me a lot. Less said about the Hotel New Hampshire adaptation the better.

    Last night, we watched The Hotel New Hampshire (1984). We felt like we watched a nearly two hour long "The Aristocrats" joke. The This Aged Great episode actually underplayed just how insane this movie is, and Lord knows they tried... youtu.be/x1QU2yXc6ms

    Hartley was perhaps best known for his remake of “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” "Mahogany" and “The Hotel New Hampshire." This film, "The Border," seems as if it was quite a headache, especially for the producers...

    The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving (1981) The book was a bestseller. A film of the same name was well recieved. It starred Jodie Foster (❤️), Rob Lowe, Natasha Kinski and other fine actors. The phrase was an inside joke meaning "don't commit suicide!" (by jumping out a window).

    Ever seen 1988's The Accused? She won her first Oscar for her role as a rape victim in it. One movie she said she wishes she hadn't done was 1984's The Hotel New Hampshire, with Rob Lowe. She said it was the worst one she had done and that it nearly ruined her career, wow!

    The dead corpse puppet movie still aged better than The Hotel New Hampshire. TAG actually _downplayed_ how messed up that one was.

    The Hotel New Hampshire (1984) It's as if someone made a Wes Anderson movie I could not only tolerate, but feel energized by. Like The World According to Garp, We Were the Mulvaneys and Bob Clark walked into a bar, and stayed there until it closes. Big fan. #movies #filmsky

    A friend is staying at the Hôtel Tadoussac, excited that it was one of the Quebec locations where The Hotel New Hampshire was filmed, so we watched the movie and it was way more weird and disturbing than we remembered.

    The 1984 film adaptation of The Hotel New Hampshire was originally going to be scored entirely by the band Queen, but due to scheduling conflicts and a change of heart by the producers, they were dropped and the only remnant of their work is on their album The Works, "Keep Passing the Open Windows."

    Saw a film at the weekend that I haven't seen in years, 'The Hotel New Hampshire'. A strange and diverse plot based on the John Irving novel. And now I can't get the story's catchphrase and Queen song of the same name out of my head. #KeepPassingTheOpenWindows

    #JustWatched THE HOTEL NEW HAMPSHIRE (1984) - 1st time. #TCM I never read the book, so I assumed the movie was about a wild weekend at the Hampton Inn or something like that. It turns out I was very wrong!
