by recalling how it was released in 1983, a period he described as a time of Reaganomics, burgeoning yuppies, and the Decade of Greed.
Yep REAGAN'S prosperity was the Decade Of Greed but Clinton's 90s were the great economy years

I often noted that, in good economic times, when a Republican is in the Oval office we have "Greed" and when it's a Democrat it's "Prosperity". I suppose this is the distinction between a "Recession" and an "Economic Contraction" as well.
To: Huck
You're right, Huck. I saw it, and couldn't understand why it was popular -- it just caught the existential boomer angst of the time, I guess.

The interest was the baby boomers first taste of death. After that movie, the culture was fascinated with death and the afterlife for some time.

Not to mention the fact that when a republican administration (a la Bush) reveals corporate malfeasance that took place during a democratic administration (a la Clinton), this somehow all gets pinned on the republican.
Now, how in nine hells does THAT work out?

Perhaps we can now call the '90's the 'decade of deceit'? It seems that much of what that decade was about was deception.

The Glenn Close character was the template for the ideal lib wife.
Leftist men across the country clutched their hearts in anticipation of a new form of wife who didn't look the other way but encouraged you to provide therapy f**** to needy single women. All in the name of a good cause with the Mrs. blessing.
Bill and Hill certainly took the film to heart.
