This movie is such a moment in time. MJF was so young on top of the world. And David Foster’s score just compliments it’s so much. You just have to enjoy every moment of your life. It goes so fast.
The things i love about this particular scene is how lovely the smitten and proud look in aunt Vera expression when watching Brantley charmed all the guest that he just met. In my opinion, the late Margaret Whitton was a scene stealer in this movie. Not to mention very gorgeus .
I love this movie, it totally influenced and changed my life. Growing up on the countryside in Bavaria, southern Germany I totally could relate to the story of Brantley Foster from Kansas who goes to the big city to chase after his dreams in far away America. I watched the movie for the first time when I was 8 in 1991 in German TV and since then wanted to be like this guy, believing that everything is possible. I loved the positivity of the movie and the uplifting tone. Today, I`m 30 years older, managing director of my own company and always chased after my dreams. All this, set off with this wonderful movie and its hopeful positive vibe...
In a way, I like to think of this movie as what is happening to a humbler version of Alex Keaton when he moves to NYC. This is my favorite comedy of MJF’s after BTTF Trilogy and Family Ties.
Sometimes when things aren't going your way in business or life, it's just necessary to take the weekend off and pull this movie out of the archive and watch!!
+Paul Gaviria lol.. if you refocus your mind on what makes you happy on a daily basis, you would be surprised how things would come together in 2-3 years.. manifested destiny is real..
I would give up everything just to go back and relive the wonderful 80's, a total recourse! Things would be so much different! 52 yrs old now and still think about it!!
80’s were the best. Unless your teen years were the 70’s. Or 90’s, or 60’s. Or 00’s. Etc… It’s amazing how people always fail to spot that it’s being young that they miss. They think that it was the decade that was great rather than the fact that they were young then. Still, the 80’s were objectively the best.
Love the positive 80's movies, much like Brantley Foster (Carlton Whitfield), we all have it in us to be great at what we know is right and true. This is a reminder to me from many years ago that anything is possible, even if others don’t think you’re capable or have the right pedigree to do it.
One of the things I learned when I was a kid and I watched this movie: pay attention to everyone. You never know who they know. Watch the whole field. You might miss pieces moving. Oh, and don't be afraid to smile.
LOVE this film! Just re-watched it recently on Netflix and all the feels I've experienced as a 15yr old back in 87 came back like a flood. The soundtrack is so 80s and dope: extra mention for the music in this scene!
There's literally NOTHING, absolutely not a single other thing in my life, that brings me back down, when upset, stressed or out of sync, like this inconspicuous 100sec-tune does !!
I think we loved the eighties because we were young and innocent and life was fresh and exciting. I think this movie inspired a lot of us to go and work in the financial markets. I only worked there briefly and realised that it wasn't nearly as romantic as the movie made out. I still love reminiscing about the 80s and this movie is was one of my favourites. I love Vera's facial expression at 1.03. 80s music and movies were the best!!!
Yea it was cheesy, but it was what i grew up with, and I loved MJ Fox, he was so enthusiastic in all of his performances. This scene and song in particular always made me think that anything is possible.
If u can notice but at 1:35, even though Vera is still physically attracted to Brantley, she's looking at him for the first time being proud of her nephew, him controlling the crowd with his knowledge of a better future for business, his ideas and suggestions for what can make companies better cause he has the passion and the pedigree for it, all it took was the right person to lead him to the right crowd and now he has them eating out of the palm of his hand :) In the best way possible, him accidentally sleeping with Vera before finding out she was his Aunt and even finding out after the fact was the best thing that could have happened to him :)
David Foster is an awesome composer and should have done a lot more movie soundtracks than he did. This soundtrack is his best one. Look up his performance of Winter Games too, it's gorgeous.
The film was perfectly cast, especially here. Just looking at the actors playing McMasters, Fletcher and Owens, they look and act like they really are successful businessmen.
The plot of this movie was so unique and offbeat, it had to be successful. Think of the great 80's movies, they were all great because they were fresh - Weird Science, Secret of My Success, Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, etc. They had never done movies about those things before, or targeted that demographic of 12 to 21 year olds. The movies were at the same time contemporary and timeless. This is probably my all-time favorite movie.
yeah if you watch the opening credits, you'll see that it was David Foster who composed the songs on the soundtrack (I also own the sdtk. CD) He also wrote the soundtrack to St. Elmo's Fire
Ah...to have the opportunity to pitch at future potential business partners the way this montage is pictured. Another feel good 80’s movie scene that you just can’t get nowadays.

It's interesting. I watched this movie for probably my 30th time the other night. It suddenly dawned on me the connections between this and American Psycho. There's almost scene for scene at one point during the walking on sun shine walk through the building segment.

Great movie. Really, really unrealistic but great movie. Unfortunately there’s no scenario in which a college kid with zero experience shows lifelong business executives how to save their company in his first few days at his first job.
I heard this as well. I think Michael J. Fox's movie "For Love or Money" was pretty much the same movie as Secret of My Success. A young guy who wants success and falls for a beautiful woman who is the mistress of his boss (rich, older man). He gets both success and the girl in the end. Both movies take place in NYC but I think The Secret of My Success was a fresher and more energetic movie and was a hit while the other flopped.
yeah, the secret of my success was a great movie, specially that the movie was more focussing in how the character will make it to the top, someting that people love it to see in late 80s movies . also for love of money had a great cast, the movie was very well made, how they present the hotel idea and how Michael J Fox play his character was great, but for some reason the movie flopped, something that i didn't understand, for a 90s, getting the girl and love is what all about since success is not the what the movie really about, but love and having the girl. and again i think if they had done a good promotion for this movie, it would been have a "success" too .
Haven't been to a movie theater in decades. Can't even remember that last 'new' movie I watched. Do they even do montages like this anymore. If so, I'd still bet they can't do it like they did in the 80s.
@MeBenHalpin I liked this movie, I like the way things are here addresses Brantley and her being so mad, if he had not been so the film would not be what it is
@egoadefonso although Family Ties ended in 1989 and not 1987, I always think of this as the sequel to Family Ties. I could imagine Alex running into such misadventures, except Brantley is less cocky.
When Christy stands up for Brantley's ideas, she is never sexier. Hell, very few women get that sexy in movies. Loyalty, devotion and confidence are very attractive to men.
That sweet warm feeling inside that only the 80s can make you feel.
They were good years.

I always thought this sounded like the Wind beneath my wings on the Refrain! Good song nonetheless. St Elmos Fire love theme also similar

I absolutely love this movie. I always wanted to be Michael J Fox in this film. I watch it at least 5 times a year.
me too
Same here. I must watch it at least 5 times
Hell yeah this movie is one of Michael J. Fox finest films and roles love it❤
In a way, I like to think of this movie as what is happening to a humbler version of Alex Keaton when he moves to NYC.

The best role of MJF was in this movie. His role in BTTF trilogy was good, but it was better in this movie.

Such is the power of David Foster's music, that the entire Gazebo montage is driven by his score (only the dog had a speaking part lol).
One of the things I learned when I was a kid and I watched this movie: pay attention to everyone. You never know who they know. Watch the whole field. You might miss pieces moving. Oh, and don't be afraid to smile.
true - I guess you do great in games if you tried.
if you let your ears take in anything and everything, you will fall for anything! : (
Here I thought I was the only one, back in the day, who enjoyed the entertainment of that corporate/ city stuff.... I miss the '80's so much!
Nothing like the 80 s what a fun decade that was
RIP Margaret Whitton..she played the run away best character of Aunt Vera in this movie... Bless her xxxxx
One of the all-time great montages - he even wins over the dog! MJF, legend, Canadian.
The music follows so well the scenes. Undeniable optimism.

Same. I’m from Australia and this music love it 😍
Look for the songs sung by Restless Heart the band
And David Foster lol
Agreed
The movie that proved that being in the right place at the right time is so critical to one's future sucesses.....
You couldn't get more 80's than this. Foster's music score and the Fox man himself doing his best Alex P. Keaton impression.

Great scene and a fun movie. David Foster's music is perfection.
It's always a pleasure to watch even just a tiny bit of this heartwarming movie! A great classic from the Micheal J. Fox 80s collection!
Love the film one of his best roles,haven’t seen it years
Still one of my all time favorite movies!
This is my favourite sequence of all time. I haven't managed to make it reality yet. But it's part of my psyche. And my dreams.
If u can notice but at 1:35, even though Vera is still physically attracted to Brantley, she's looking at him for the first time being proud of her nephew, him controlling the crowd with his knowledge of a better future for business, his ideas and suggestions for what can make companies better cause he has the passion and the pedigree for it, all it took was the right person to lead him to the right crowd and now he has them eating out of the palm of his hand :) In the best way possible, him accidentally sleeping with Vera before finding out she was his Aunt and even finding out after the fact was the best thing that could have happened to him :)
Thanks for the synopsis ...
Yeah, that scene probably gave Aunt Vera the idea that Brantley was the right person to be in charge of her company now.
Poor MJF…playing characters whose female relatives get attracted to him sexually. (Though in this movie they don’t share a chromosome)
Amazing song 😭...Mike 🙌 awe
Best music ever !!
David Foster is a musical genuis.
Inspirational and really hit me in the gut as a child ❤️
The 80s where the best period of time 😍
Watching this scene I'm thinking of how Vera was acting like his proud "aunt" introducing him to important contacts that would help him soon. 🙂
Michael j Fox you are great! I admire you! You are an inspiration to others. I read your autobiography and it touched me a lot. Keep it up mate.

When Brantley/Carlton explain his plan, Harley McMasters, Roland Owens and Vernon Fletcher are so wow and give their listen to him.
Love these comments. Always thought I was the only one who though this was a great movie. I connect with so many of the these comments
it seems this film changed bergis81's life... so it inspired me somehow, and I owe MJ Fox and this film a part of what I am today. God bless him.
brantley is such a nice guy
Great David Foster Music!!
