25 Thoughts I Had While Watching ‘Working Girl’ in 2015

Hey friends! So, I recently decided to revisit ‘Working Girl,’ that classic nod to the 80s with big hair and ambitious women. Can you believe it’s been more than 30 years since it first hit the screen? Watching it again was such a trip down memory lane, reminding me of my middle school days when Harrison Ford was a dreamboat and Joan Cusack ruled the ferry with her humor. Here are 25 thoughts that popped into my head while I watched it in 2015.

1. Oh, Alec Baldwin as Mick, Tess’s unreliable boyfriend—talk about a blast from the past!
2. The opening shot of the World Trade Center hit differently this time, didn’t it?
3. Carly Simon’s “Let the River Run” makes me want to throw on some Hammer pants and dance around like nobody’s watching.
4. Joan Cusack’s line about needing a speech class is just iconic: “Whaddya need speech class for, you tawk fine.”
5. Also, her makeup? Those are some serious 45-minute eyes—she looks like a glam rock star!
6. Watching Mick read Motor Trend while Tess struggles with a garter belt is a painful reminder of all those “not quite right” gifts we’ve received.
7. Kevin Spacey is just spot on as Bob, kicking back in the limo like he owns the world.
8. Tess gets her sweet revenge by typing “David Lutz is a sleazoid pimp” on the office screen—anyone who’s worked for a jerk can relate.
9. The other women in the film—Joan as the friend, Olympia as HR, and Sigourney as the boss—show different strategies for dealing with workplace sexism, while Tess takes a bold path.
10. OMG, HARRISON FORD TAKES HIS SHIRT OFF!
11. When Tess finds a $6,000 dress, my 2015 self is like, “How do you even clean that?!”
12. Joan’s reaction? “Six thousand dollars! It’s not even leather!” Classic.
13. I could really use some “Valium, in the convenient economy size” after a long day with the kids.
14. And, uh, Harrison Ford with his shirt off would be a nice bonus too.
15. Catherine is right when she says, “Never burn bridges.” You never know who will rise to the top!
16. Wait, is that Ricki Lake as a bridesmaid? I need to rewatch Hairspray!
17. And there’s David Duchovny as a party guest! Time for an X-Files binge.
18. Tess’s line about having “a head for business and a bod for sin” makes me cringe a bit, but I guess we all have our quirks.
19. Harrison Ford carries Tess up the stairs, and my heart is doing flips.
20. Joan Cusack steals the show: “Can I get you anything, Mr. Trainor? Coffee, tea, me?”
21. I love that Jack lets Tess take the lead during the wedding chaos. He may be a bit nervous, but he’s there for it!
22. Chris de Burgh’s “Lady in Red” at the engagement party? Instant nostalgia.
23. On Tess’s first day, Jack packs her lunch in an old tin lunchbox. How cute is that?
24. And then she sets the tone for her secretary relationship—no coffee runs unless it’s for both of them.
25. Right?

So there you have it! Watching ‘Working Girl’ again made me reflect on how far we’ve come and how some things never change.
