neutral · AI labelView post →Years ago, I watched two Goldie Hawn movies back to back on afternoon tv as a kid and totally fell in love with her. Tonight I discovered they were both on tubi, and recreated the double feature. I highly recommend Private Benjamin and Wildcats. 80s feminism in film was wild

neutral · AI labelView post →For day 136 of my year long retrospective on made for TV movies that need a DVD/Blu Ray release, I chose She's in the Army Now (1981). It's leaning into Private Benjamin territory with its story about a group of young women going through basic training, but becomes it's one thing and is SO GOOD

neutral · AI labelView post →Introduced my younger kid to the film, "Private Benjamin". (It holds up.) She immediately clocked that one guy was bad news when he was mean to a dog. "I don't like him." Later on she muttered in a disgusted tone, "The French..." She loved the movie. Thought Goldie Hawn was the best.
positive · AI labelView post →Private Benjamin is the first movie that jumps to my mind with her.

neutral · AI labelView post →One movie a day for 365 days - just the movies I like. 19/365: Private Benjamin. Goldie as Judy Benjamin is for me what Audrey Hepburn is for many: sweet, funny, vulnerable. I want to hug and protect her.
positive · AI labelView post →I remember her as Captain Lewis in Private Benjamin. She stole the movie from Goldie Hawn.
neutral · AI labelView post →The hits just keep on coming. I know many will point to FATHER OF THE BRIDE when talking about Charles Shyer, but I’ll always love him for giving us the script (alongside his wife Nancy Meyers) for PRIVATE BENJAMIN. variety.com/2024/film/ne...
neutral · AI labelView post →Private Benjamin. I loved Goldie Hawn and I begged my parents to let me watch it on HBO when I was like 6 or 7. I don’t know if I fell asleep or if they just stopped it after she completed basic training, but years later I discovered there was a whole half of the movie I had never seen.
positive · AI labelView post →Did you know there’s more movie in Private Benjamin after she leaves boot camp? It’s true!

neutral · AI labelView post →A comedic tour de force, Private Benjamin, a film with more brains and drama than one might think. She produced it and it was a smash hit.

neutral · AI labelView post →When I was 13, my mom took me to the release of Private Benjamin. I remember that she loved Ebert because he called the film “A thoroughly delightful comedy that was a refreshing change from other bad comedies of the time.” #TCMParty

neutral · AI labelView post →I grew up watching Hal Williams pretty much every show he was on. He was really funny in Sanford and Sons. Private Benjamin both the series, and movie with Goldie Hawn, were my favorites. 🖤🙏🏼💔
positive · AI labelView post →One of the great Eileen Brennan film appearances. The only one I enjoy more is her role in Private Benjamin.
positive · AI labelView post →This was in my too young to go to the movie theater time 😊 My mother found some dude in the line to accompany my sister and I into the cinema after she purchased our tickets to Private Benjamin She then went to watch a G rated animal movie 🤔😂
neutral · AI labelView post →TV-movie. It could possibly have been a failed pilot. This was made right after Brennan got her Oscar nom for PRIVATE BENJAMIN. She's certainly an odd choice for the lead, although she wasn't bad in it, and played it very straight and lowkey.
neutral · AI labelView post →Despite the most homoerotic volleyball game ever, Top Gun was pure military propaganda. Hell it seemed like every other movie of the era was military based. Comedies like Private Benjamin, Stripes, Spies like Us. Action flicks like Rambo, Iron Eagle, the cheesy glory of Megaforce. It was endless!
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember when Private Benjamin premiered on HBO, it was a big deal. And probably watched most of the movie 20 times.

neutral · AI labelView post →Truly was, and I remember watching it. There was also a short-lived Private Benjamin sitcom after that movie was a hit.
neutral · AI labelView post →Welp time for them to eviscerate another 1989 favorite — TROOP BEVERLY HILLS. I guarantee this is going to go poorly. And yep… it’s already "a lesser PRIVATE BENJAMIN.” “Shelley Long has nothing funny to do here… the film looks ugly… there’s absolutely nothing to like except the end credits."
