One of the most charming and unapologetically 80s romantic comedies ever made, Mannequin stars Andrew McCarthy (Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo's Fire) as a struggling department store window dresser who falls in love with a mannequin that magically comes to life, played by Kim Cattrall years before her Sex and the City fame. Packed with neon-soaked fashion, outrageous comedy and a memorable supporting performance from Meshach Taylor as the flamboyant Hollywood Montrose, the film became a surprise box office hit in 1987 and remains a beloved cult classic. Its infectious theme song, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship, was nominated for an Academy Award and became one of the biggest hits of the decade. A perfect time capsule of peak 80s pop culture, Mannequin is a feel-good fantasy romance bursting with heart, humour and nostalgia.
