FILM 1107: BEAUTIFUL GIRLS

TRIVIA: Ted Demme told Timothy Hutton to kiss Natalie Portman on the cheek. She did not know it so her reaction in the film is spontaneous.

Paul's monologue to Will, "A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay." is in the intro to the demo version of a Taking Back Sunday song called, "Great Romances of the Twentieth Century".

Matt Dillon's character refers to "Falconetti" from Rich Man, Poor Man (1976) as being a terrifying villain. In The Outsiders (1983), Matt Dillon's character was killed by a character played by William Smith, who also played "Falconetti".
