Alongside Ghost, another romantic comedy drama, Pretty Woman dominated the box office of 1990. The movie revitalised Richard Gere's career, and made a superstar of Julia Roberts, launching her on a string of hugely successful romantic comedies including My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), Notting Hill (1999), and, reuniting her with Gere and Pretty Woman director, Garry Marshall, The Runaway Bride (1999). Inevitably the movie's theme song is Roy Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman", sounding fresh as ever. And if that is a typically male view of feminine attractions, Natalie Cole tells the other side of the story with the unrepentant "Wild Women Do". David Bowie provides an update of one of his greatest hits, with "Fame 90" and Robert Palmer describes "Life In Detail". The remainder of the album is a snapshot of up-and-coming acts at the beginning of the 90s, with Go West's massive hit, "King Of Wishful Thinking" and Roxette's chart smash "It Must Have Been Love" setting the agenda for slick, well produced power-pop. As nostalgia for the time just before dance took over the charts, or simply as a highly polished souvenir of one of the most popular movies ever made, Pretty Woman requires, as Peter Cetera appropriately adds, "No Explanation". --Gary S.

Pretty WomanAug 22, 2008 Best 80s soundtrack ever enough said! If you love this movie you will want the soundtrack classic:)
Pretty Woman soundrackApr 07, 2008 CD is great!! The cd is just like "brand new"!! Arrived in great shape. Shipping took a while, although arrived in the time window stated during purchase.
Hooker to HousewifeSep 10, 2007 This is the movie that made Julia Roberts a star. Though never what I would call a raving beauty, Julia won women over with her toothy smile, hearty laugh and her non-threating girl next door looks. Of course, Richard Gere (or who I like to call Keenu Reeves Senior) puts in his usual performance (read: smile and look handsome) But take that and add a charming rags to riches story and you have one of 1990's big big box office's hit. This is a must have movie for romance lovers and chick flicks fanatics everywhere.
