Just watched a good movie called "The Thing Called Love," (1993) starring Samantha Mathis, River Phoenix, Dermot Mulroney, and Sandra Bullock.
If you're into music as much as I am, you will probably love this movie. But I also loved "That Thing You Do."
Here's an Internet synopsis of the movie for you:
The Thing Called Love is an American comedy-drama film released in 1993. It was directed by Peter Bogdanovich. The film's tagline is: "Stand by your dream."
The movie stars Samantha Mathis as Miranda Presley (not related to Elvis), who comes from New York City to Nashville, where she auditions at The Bluebird Cafe. She is not invited to perform, but she accepts a job as a waitress. She meets and falls in love with James Wright (River Phoenix), and she befriends Linda Lue Linden (Sandra Bullock).
While the movie involves a love triangle and various complications in Miranda's route to success, it provides a sweetened glimpse at the lives of aspiring songwriters in Nashville.
This was Phoenix's final screen performance before his death. |
