In this episode of I Remember Liking That Movie, we head back to the Renaissance for a supposedly smarter, more grounded take on Cinderella with Ever After from 1998. Starring Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston, and Dougray Scott, the film ditches fairy godmothers and magic in favor of historical realism… and somehow still finds room for Leonardo da Vinci. One of us remembers this one as the “classy” Cinderella, the version with brains, attitude, and a heroine who can quote philosophy while throwing apples at royalty. One of us has never seen it. We’ll let you guess who is who. So does this prestige fairy tale still charm, or does it feel more like a history lecture wrapped in corsets? Join us as we revisit mean stepmothers, awkward princes, suspiciously convenient Renaissance geniuses, and a fairy tale that may or may not be taking itself way too seriously. Does Ever After still hold up… or did one of us just remember liking it, and will the other even like it?

Do you remember the teen romance movie A Walk to Remember? You know, the one where the “good girl” falls for the “bad boy,” changes his life forever… and then drops the heartbreaking bomb that she’s terminally ill. Ah, yes, peak early-2000s emotional damage. So grab your tissues and take a stroll back to 2002 as we revisit this classic Nicholas Sparks tearjerker, starring Mandy Moore and Shane West. We’re diving into the swoons, the speeches, the soundtrack, and all the feelings we may or may not be ready to relive.

Remember Cliffhanger? The movie where the Hero fights gravity, bad guys, and basic OSHA regulations? Starring Sylvester Stallone as a man whose primary skill set is hanging from things dramatically… and John Lithgow as a villain who woke up and chose theatrical villainy. You probably remember mountains. Snow. A helicopter doing things helicopters absolutely should not be doing. And Lithgow is just chewing scenery like he hasn’t eaten in days. The plot? Oh, it’s simple. Suitcases full of money fall out of the sky, a bunch of criminals decide mountain climbing is now part of their career path, and Stallone spends two hours dangling from things that were never meant to hold a human being. So join us as we head back to the ’90s — when action heroes didn’t need CGI, villains had accents for no reason, and the solution to every problem was either punching it… shooting it… or letting it fall off a cliff.
