I think this one was from the 80's -- but I doubt it's the answer.

I’ve seen the R rated version of that movie!
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Busy day and couldn't get to this until now, but I'm on shore! With a chuckle and without Google, but I'm pretty well-versed in movies from the 80s. This was a favorite!

I am tentatively ashore. I have never seen this movie, and if the answer is correct, I may need to check it out.

Keep the generous cabernet pours coming.

FWIW, my wife and I celebrate our 45th anniversary on Friday. The photo below is from our 30th anniversary. Man, how times have changed!

Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

Just got in from a party, quick fill of the grid that I only partially filled earlier and straight to the meta shore. Submitted before felt sand between my toes, hopefully I landed in the right spot!

Yes!!! After a dry spell it’s nice to feel the sand between my toes. Ashore!

🏝on shore
Physically I’m on a cruise ship off the coast of India today. And happy that I could solve the meta early. Here is “moon over Mumbai” from last night! As it is morning here, I’ll have a Bloody Mary! Cheers!

Ashore, or in the parlance of last weekend, “cash dash more gore” :-)

Happy solving; have a great weekend,

Very cute. Ashore, I think, after only filling in a few clues.

Ashore.

I must like hanging out with Isaac because it always seems to hit me when I climb into bed.

Like many said, it came to me suddenly and I was so happy.

Ashore. Another "inferential" meta, but it looks like nearly everyone made the inference. I'll have. . .
Well, yesterday I had lunch in a resto in a Champs-Élysées mansion owned by Haut Brion. I did not have the house wine.

Ashore despite poor knowledge of 80’s movies.
