Roxette "It Must've Been Love"

It's impossible to picture anyone other than Richard Gere playing opposite Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, right? The movie's producers originally sought Burt Reynolds for the leading role, but Burt turned them down. Thank goodness. Can you imagine Burt Reynolds being afraid of heights? Nope.

Go West - "King of Wishful Thinking"

What do you think happened to Julia Roberts and Richard Gere's characters after the movie Pretty Woman ended?  Did they get married, have two kids, and move to the 'burbs?  If so, did they invite the hotel manager to the wedding?  After saying "I do", was Julia Roberts able to kiss Richard Gere on the lips?  Did she buy her wedding dress from that store that originally wouldn't wait on her?  What about Richard Gere: did he decide that his friendship with the George Costanza character wasn't worth it?  Did Richard Gere go to any more polo matches?  Did Julia Roberts and Richard Gere spend evenings watching more reruns of I Love Lucy?  So many questions...

Jennifer Warnes & Joe Cocker - "Up Where We Belong"

"Up Where We Belong" almost didn't make the cut for the movie An Officer & A Gentleman.  Don Simpson, the movie's producer, didn't think the song was a hit and demanded that it be nixed.  Simpson was dead wrong as the ballad won a Golden Globe, Grammy, and went to #1 on the Hot 100.  Hell, even Richard Gere said he got chills after watching the completed scene with "Up Where We Belong" added.  Eat it, Don Simpson.
