Romancing the Stone (1984). A mousy romance novelist sets off for Colombia to ransom her kidnapped sister, and soon finds herself in the middle of a dangerous adventure hunting for treasure with a mercenary rogue.
I've never really enjoyed Michael Douglas as a romantic lead, but man, he crackles in this one, in no small part because he and Kathleen Turner have such great chemistry. She gets the richer character arc, but he gets satisfying beats to play opposite her and it makes them a pretty fun dynamic to watch. The movie definitely falls into era-typical sexist and racist tropes, which can be jarring, but outside of that, it's the sort of adventure-rom-com I wish Hollywood was still making. 7/10.

Romancing the Stone (1984)
My rating: 4/10
The romance stuff is fine, I guess, but boy are there a lot of incredibly broad ethnic stereotypes.

happy anniversary to the film that brought me to all of you. the film that thirteen year old Ashley found and discovered there was an entire world of people out there just like her, in love with television and movies, and proud of it. this book/film will always hold a special place in my heart. it was the movie that got me to start writing fanfiction, it was the catalyst of the last ten years of my life, and I will forever be grateful.
