SAY ANYTHING... 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION - On Blu-ray Disc November 3
Friday, August 21, 2009

I was in college the first time I saw Say Anything, which means I came a little late to the party. But I quickly realized that this was a gem of a movie. Say Anything is a quintessential 80s film. It has everything you would expect from the era of John Hughes, laughs, quotable lines, John Cusack, and of course Heartbreak. But this isn't a John Hughes film, no it's actually Cameron Crowe's directorial debut. And it one of my all time favorite films (thanks in part to my wife who counts this as one of her top 5 movies of all time), so I am especially excited to share with you that the movie is coming to Blu-Ray in a new 20th Anniversary Edition. Below youll find a couple of my favorite quotes from the film, a trailer for the movie, and the official press release announcing the November 3rd release of the 20th Anniversary Edition on Blu-Ray & DVD.


"She's gone. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen." I will note this is where I got my AIM screenname MyHeartForAPen.

"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."

“The roots of ‘Say Anything…’ are real characters, they’re people you know, and sometimes the oddest, smallest things lead to a movie whose story is as real and personal to audiences today as it was 20 years ago.”
- Director Cameron Crowe

“That such intelligence could be contained in a movie that is simultaneously so funny and so entertaining is some kind of a miracle.”
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
