80's Movie Weekend



OK, so this movie came out in 1992. Don't care. It gives me one last chance to pay my respects to the talented Whitney Houston in her first starring role in a movie. I thought the movie itself was mostly boring, but this Dolly Parton song that Whitney belted out became her signature song. First check out the trailer to the movie co-starring Kevin Costner and then check out the full version of the song/video below...
