80’s Movies Monday, Best of the Best: Roxanne
Next up for our favorite 80’s movie is Laura Bzowy of CFS Squared.
Here are Laura’s thoughts on the movie Roxanne:
How about Roxanne, I think that was a movie made in the 80’s that I loved.
Its definitely the only Steve Martin movie that I have seen, that I actually liked.
And some fun bit of trivia about The Boy Who Could Fly:
I remember liking The Boy Who Could Fly - but I am not sure I would be so into it now. I think we liked it so much is because it was filmed in my home town. We would watch them film EVERYDAY!
It must have been so fun to see a movie being made! Thanks so much for participating, Laura. :)

Thanks for sharing my picks!
I love the whole scene when they are in the bar, and Steve and the jerk play darts to see who will come up with the best insults about his nose (not saying this correctly…much too early)
For those of you who are wondering, both movies were filmed in British Columbia.
Roxanne was filmed in Nelson, BC (and yes, it really is that beautiful there in real life).
and
The Boy Who Could Fly was filmed in New Westminster, BC (sorry to say, that city isn’t as beautiful as Nelson)….but I suppose its not too bad as far as suburbs go.
