The Sure Thing
1985 · Film · 95 min
Directed by Rob Reiner
Gib, a beer-guzzling slob, and Alison, an uptight Ivy-Leaguer, are an unlikely duo stuck together on a cross-country trip during Christmas break. At first they get on each other's nerves but, as time passes, they find their divergent natures complement each other. Now they need to realize what they've already found before it's too late.

Can you believe that This is Spinal Tap, The Sure Thing, Stand by Me, Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, and A Few Good Men were all directed by the same man? What an eclectic set of masterpieces.
> I was home alone as a kid, watching some movie on TV. I saw some guy grab a beer can and do that thing where you jam a pen in the side to make a hole, and then crack open the top.
Given what I think is her age (judging from using C64s and whatnot) I'm going to go out on a limb and guess this was "The Sure Thing" [0] with John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga. It's a great movie if you haven't seen it.
