Full on reblog... a few years back now [a lifetime in blog years -ed]) AContinuousLean posted Could This Be The Preppiest Movie Ever, citing the modern classic Trading Places. Cracking. Stealth pick though for the everyman preppy; Splash. Hear me out...

Morning suit on the beach in Cape Cod (sidenote; landcruiserJeep Honcho? and hey... check the moron twin's maroon rugby), golden fleece at the raquetball club, OCBD's with windbreaker/cord jacket/letterman, then for dinner it is blue blazer and grey flannels. Not bad Mr. Alan Bauer.














The "lobster" scene here is definitely on my mind whenever soft shell lobsters are around - the idea that they are not at least 99% as good as hardshells I think is BS by the middle men... Early/molted lobsters seem to be more briney than any others IMHO - having climbed down in the hull of a lobsterboat on Nantucket to pull out 2lbers. You can rip them with your teeth - like Madison in the scene below.  #sidebenefit

Said before but this was the first VHS movie we owned (second was Trading Places I think) back when a 'remote' for your vcr was a 6foot cable. I think I can repeat both movies verbatum...
