Quotes
Dez:
Jim said a friend of yours got killed outside your hotel... in Atlantic City. He was pretty worried.
Roberta:
Killed? Dead?
Dez:
Sort of goes with the territory, doesn't it, Susan?
Roberta:
Maybe I know who did it. I wish I could remember.
Dez:
Maybe you were the killer.
Roberta:
[incredulously:]
No!
[scoffs, then thinks it over:]

Desperately Seeking Susan (1985 Dir. Susan Seidelman) "Chicks" love this movie for the feminist, take charge of your life point of view, while guys enjoy this movie cuz there are plenty of bra shots. Madonna in her first starring (supporting really) role as a street-smart hustler being chased by some small time hoods. Rosanna Arquette gets mistaken for the Madonna character and therein lies the plot of this oh so '80s comedy.
Set in summer in Manhattan, the movie preserves like a time capsule so much of the decade: the hair, the clothes, the music. And of course there's Madonna clanking her balls from start to finish. Ms. Arquette (in the supposed starring role) had the movie not merely stolen, but ripped out of her hands by the unstoppable force of the 80s: Madonna!
