Classic Movie Flashback 'Peggy Sue Got Married' 1986 with Kathleen Turner

PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED distributed by TRI-STAR pictures (1986). It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather). It stars Kathleen Turner. The production budget climbed to $18 million and nabbed $41 million at the box office. 

Many critics say this is a complete rip-off of the popular time-travel movie, "Back to the Future" 1985. It wasn't. 

Peggy Sue (Turner) attends her 25th anniversary high school reunion. She left her husband (Nicolas Cage) and went to the reunion with her daughter. She is crowned homecoming queen again and faints. Peggy wakes up in 1960 during her senior year in high school. She relives teen life up until the prom.

Turner never used make-up or special effects. She looked like a teen while in her late 30's. She's totally believable and is beautiful as Peggy. The movie came out one year after, "Back to the Future" and Time Travel looked like so much fun. The 1980's pop culture returned to the 1950's many times over with films, music and television.

"Peggy Sue Got Married" received 3 Oscar nominations including Best Actress for Turner, Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design.

"Peggy Sue Got Married" is now on Blu-Ray Disc.
