'romancing the stone' is my favourite ever movie

'jewel of the nile' would not even rate in my top 100

perhaps i should watch it a couple more times and it will grow on me

the best part about it is billy ocean's 'when the going gets tough (the tough get going)' and the music video the three stars appeared in as backup singers and dancers for billy in their matching white suits

the movie was worth it just for that

I completely agree with the original poster Jewel p isses all over Stone...... period

I think anyone who never seen these movies in the 80's or 90's and only seen them in the last decade, watched them back to back, would say Jewel is a waaaaaay better movie.

In fact our family watched these this weekend as we tried to find any 80's movies we haven't seen yet. We are all huge 80's movies fans, and 19 of my top 25 movies ever were made in the 80's.

We had 14 adults and 6 kids here watching them, and 16 of them liked Jewel better, 3 romance, and 1 kid that fell asleep half way through romance. Most of use were born between 1971 and 1982 so its actually quite amazing that none of us had seen either of these before.

Its the same with the Friday movies series. Most who watched them when they came out, in the order they came out, generally say the first Friday movie is the best. While people who seen them years later and in no particular order, like 2 and 3 better than the first.

I never watched them until yesterday and Romancing is much better. A lot of their behavior in Jewel makes no sense at all, for instance, and the overall feel is just not as good.

reply

I'll agree Jewel of the Nile is superior to Romancing the Bone (but barely).

reply

They're both equally entertaining, but Stone is a better film overall -- not by much though.

I like romancing the stone best, but Jewel of the Nile is good as sequels go.
