Brewster's Millions
Monty Brewster, an aging minor-league baseball player, stands to inherit $300 million if he can successfully spend $30 million in 30 days without anything to show for it, and without telling anyone what he's up to... A task that's a lot harder than it sounds! From TMDB

unlabelledView post →ALLLLSO happy 41st birthday to BREWSTER'S MILLIONS, a movie that holds a disproportionately large place in my heart because I was nine when it came out and it was PG so I got to see it in the theater and I've loved it ever since. Wrote about it at some length in my Pryor book:

unlabelledView post →I prefer the idea that Kidman and Bullock had some sort of Brewster's Millions-esque contract for the first one that they must appear in a sequel within 30 years in fact that would probably make a much more entertaining film tbh
unlabelledView post →The great John Candy (Toronto, Ont.) died 31 years ago today. What joy he gave so many of us in his 43 years. It still hurts that he is gone. P.S. And yes, he did do a baseball movie. Here he is with Richard Pryor in Brewster's Millions:

unlabelledView post →I'm watching the 1945 version of Brewster's Millions (which I only recently learned existed) and they have a TV set, which is very early for a non-science-fiction movie to have the tech. I wonder what the first movie to feature a TV set was outside of sci-fi.
unlabelledView post →There was a movie that described something slightly similar to this called Brewster's Millions. I would be all for a movie that highlights the details of a scenario like this called Brewster's Billions.

unlabelledView post →I say this every time someone mentions this film, but Fright Night made for a difficult 8th grade, as I heard "You're so cool,Brewster" approximately 68 times per day. Add in the movie Brewster's Millions, released the same year, and I couldn't catch a break. That being said, great flick!
unlabelledView post →I would rather watch Brewster's Millions than any other movie, 75% of the time
unlabelledView post →I most frequently want to watch a good, solid 7 out of 10 movie that makes me feel good no matter how many times I've seen it. The king of these movies is Brewster's Millions (1985). I've seen it 50 times and I'll happily see it another 50 times
unlabelledView post →You couldn't make a movie like "Brewster's Millions" today, because the obvious solution to the whole plot is just to give the money to Trump and poof! problem solved.
unlabelledView post →In the movie "Brewster's Millions" starring Richard Pryor - he launches a political campaign to have everyone vote for "None of the above." That's what I feel like right now.
unlabelledView post →I had this plot idea that's kind of a Producers/Brewster's Millions situation where someone is making an everyday life movie like Marriage Story but due to accounting shenanigans at the studio they have been assigned a massive CG budget and they must spend all of it or go bankrupt

unlabelledView post →Brewster's Millions is the best 7-out-of-10 1980s movie. I love Silver Streak too. And Uncle Buck. I think maybe Planes, Trains and Automobiles is an 8-out-of-10 1980s movie so it might not count in this review
unlabelledView post →You couldn't film Brewster's Millions today.
unlabelledView post →Was about to post that it's been 41 years since the last English-language movie version of Brewster's Millions, the longest we've ever gone since the book it was based on was published in 1902. But I decided to check and learned there was a 2024 BET+ movie called Brewster's Millions: Christmas.

unlabelledView post →Brewster's Millions wouldn't be as interesting a movie in 2026 Nashville because I'm pretty sure you could spend all $30 million in 3 weeks just eating out at mid restaurants
unlabelledView post →Brewster's Millions. Although we are probably due for a remake. And I didn't know the film from 1985 was based on a 1902 novel until about 15 years ago when I spent about 6 months at work reading public domain books and read the book.

unlabelledView post →If I'd been in Brewster's Millions it would have been a much shorter movie. "You have to spend $30 million in a year to inherit $300 million, or you can take $1 million now and walk away." "I'll take the million thanks. You assholes can tear yourselves apart over the rest."
unlabelledView post →Here's the thing: I am watching this for the first time in at least 20 years. It was, at the time I saw it, my least favorite Walter Hill movie by far aside from probably BREWSTER'S MILLIONS. I didn't hate it! It was just...fine? I know I rewatched it once and still thought it was only okay. So.

unlabelledView post →George Formby's signature tune When I'm Cleaning Windows had its first outing in his 1936 film 'Keep Your Seats Please'. The 1951 stage musical 'Zip Goes a Million' was adapted from the 1902 novel 'Brewster's Millions' and starred Formby as a Lancashire window cleaner who inherits a fortune.

unlabelledView post →Yep. That was so freaking laughable. They insist you can only support Carney or Pierre. Right now, it's none of the above like the movie Brewster's Millions.

unlabelledView post →Yep. There are at least 6 foreign remakes of the original 1914 movie Brewster's Millions (3 Indian, 1 Chinese, 2 British) and the earliest was in 1935.
unlabelledView post →Random useless info: It's not THE most remade film of all time, but one of them. Richard Pryor's Brewster's Millions from 1985 is one of 13 versions of that story on film. I think a modern remake would kind of suck. Between eBay and Crypto, he could make that money gone in less than 10 days.
