    Working Girl is one of my favorite comedies...love it! Melanie Griffith was never better and Sigourney Weaver with Harrison Ford were great too.

    A receptionist whom is trying her darndest (Griffith) to make it in 80's NYC. She gets a new boss (Weaver) whom is sweet but might ...( read more)be ready to back stab. And then enters the guy to save the day (Ford) whom is there to help Griffith get her day in the spotlight....such a well done film...love Carly Simon's song; "Let the Rive Run" which is the theme song for this movie....everything is soo good!

    Career defining role for Melanie Griffith who rightfully earned an Oscar nomination. Smart, sexy, fun, workplace comedy from Mike Nichols.

    I remember enjoying this movie, especially when Harrison Ford gives Melanie Griffith her 'lunch box' and says 'play nice with the other kids' - so cute, and she finally makes it.
