TAG LINE: What if Peter Pan grew up?

Okay, so tonight we watched the movie 'Hook' - starring Robin Williams as Peter ("Pan the Man"), Dustin Hoffman as Hook and, of course, Julia Roberts as Tink! (What fun Julia's kids will have watching this movie in a few years, don't ya think?)

Everytime I watch it I can't get over Dustin's performance as Hook - it's amazing!

And I cannot forget our favorite character Rufio ("Mr. Punk head with too much mousse") - King of the Lost Boys after Pan's absense.
Rufio! Rufio! RU-FI-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh

We were curious if it ever won any awards - I researched, found it won a few - mostly no name awards...Although Julia Roberts won the 1992 Razzie award for Worst Supporting Actress...lol - kinda sad...

I really love that Hook's bed lowers down from the ceiling to cover the small pond in the ship - BRILLIANT!

So in honor of this wondrous movie I'd like to share some favorite trivia and quotes that I have come across on the internet.
Oh yah - by the by - would you believe there are no images of this movie on the internet? I AM OUTRAGED!!!
Alright - here are some interesting tidbits...I hope you enjoy!

Quote:
Peter Banning: You're a... you're a complex Freudian hallucination having something to do with my mother and I don't know why you have wings, but you have very lovely legs and you're a very nice tiny person and what am I saying, I don't know who my mother was; I'm an orphan and I've never done drugs because I missed the sixties, I was an accountant.
Tinkerbell: Guess again.

Quote:
Tinkerbell: You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, Peter Pan. That's where I'll be waiting.

Quote:
Pockets, Lost Boy: [the Lost Boys don't believe Peter Banning is Peter Pan, but Pockets touches his face and finally recognizes him] Oh, there you are, Peter!
