ARTHUR (1981): Best That You Can Do *Arthur's Theme*

A video tribute I made to a great movie "Arthur". It stars Dudley Moore as the drunken millionaire who is being forced to marry a woman he dispises. He decides to fight for his right to make his own decisions when he meets Linda (played by Liza Minnelli), a wannabe actress who works at a diner. Also stars the great Sir John Geilgud as Hobson, Arthur's protective butler.

*Note: I had some volume troubles when making this, because of which I could not do what I wanted during the sax solo. I had a Dudley Moore laugh montage that was really good, but you couldn't hear it next to the music...even when I had the clip volume on the highest setting. What you see in the video only took me a few minutes, and it is still pretty good. It gives Liza more screen time...still, i just wish I could've done what I had initially planned on doing**

Still listening in 2024!

Timeless and Priceless Era growing up in the 70s & 80s were the best years of my life. Scores, Soundtracks to movies and t.v shows will stick with me forever ❤❤

I'm a 63 year old retired veteran. This movie ranks in my top 3 to this day.

Whenever I hear this song I think to myself "Man, the 80's were simply the greatest!"

My son loved this song. He was 16. He passed away in Feb. Seemed awesome that he loved the 80's so much and this was 1 of his face.

Yep. 2025 here! Arthur brings back so many good memories! Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli made a masterpiece. And, the soundtrack will always be one of the best!!

Christopher Cross deserved his Academy Award for Best Song for "Arthur".

Christopher Cross was one of the best artists of the 80's!

[stefanomonaco]

What fantastic era. Please 80s come back and make us dream

Growing up as a child in the 70's and 80's and seeing movies like these at the theatre that made me laugh and feel so happy will stay in my memories forever. I want to thank Dudley Moore 'Arthur', Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor, 'Stir Crazy' (RIP), Michael Keaton, 'Night Shift' and Goldie Hawn, 'Private Benjamin'. The list could go on and on. Thank you all you beautiful people.

My husband and I literally know every word in this movie. Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli played the best couple ever. Even 40 years later, this is the most hilarious and endearing movie I ever watched. Sure wish they would play it on classic channels. A whole new generation would fall in love with Arthur 🥰😍🤩
