If You Loved Pink Cadillac, You'll Love These 10 Movies... Because Who Doesn't Enjoy a Little Ridiculousness in Their Life?
Alright, buckle up, folks. If you watched Pink Cadillac and thought, "Wow, this movie is a masterpiece of 1980s excess, paired with a delightful mix of clashing tones and over-the-top performances," then let me introduce you to 10 other cinematic gems that will make you question your life choices... but in the best way possible. Here’s a sarcastic, spoiler-laden list of movies that are just as absurd, if not more so.
1. Hudson Hawk (1991) If you loved Clint Eastwood’s vehicle full of sequins and midlife crisis in Pink Cadillac, you’re going to love Hudson Hawk. Bruce Willis sings while he robs art museums—because why not? It’s like a Pink Cadillac sequel, except the car is an opera-loving burglar and not a Pink anything. Will you understand it? Probably not. Will it make you laugh? Maybe. Will you ask yourself why you’re still watching? Definitely.
2. Coyote Ugly (2000) If you enjoyed the whole “getting into trouble with a tough-but-sweet exterior” vibe in Pink Cadillac, Coyote Ugly will serve that up with an extra shot of bad decisions and greasy dance floors. Except now, your heroine is a bartender who thinks her greatest act of rebellion is dancing on the bar and slinging whiskey. Hey, it worked for a minute, right? Also, the plot makes no more sense than Clint Eastwood's character. But you’re still gonna watch it.
3. The Mask (1994) Want the same level of wacky chaos that Pink Cadillac offers, but with WAY more cartoon violence and less plausibility? Enter The Mask. Jim Carrey’s manic antics may remind you of Clint Eastwood in a gold-plated convertible, if Clint suddenly became a green-faced, hyperactive demigod of destruction. The plot’s nonsense, but who needs it when you’ve got zany hijinks and rubber-faced overacting?
4. Romancing the Stone (1984) If you thought Clint’s Pink Cadillac was peak romancing, then get ready for Romancing the Stone. A romance-adventure-comedy hybrid so impossibly absurd it could only exist in the ‘80s. Kathleen Turner’s character is an author who gets herself into a ridiculous adventure that somehow makes her love Michael Douglas. It's basically like Clint Eastwood driving through the jungle in a car—if the jungle were a tropical disaster and the car was actually Michael Douglas’s charm.
5. Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000) If Clint Eastwood’s 1989 self-awareness was your thing, let’s dive into Dude, Where’s My Car?. The plot? Absolutely nonsense. The performances? Terrible in a way that feels... endearing? Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott forget where they parked their car, and somehow, that's the most coherent thing in the entire film. Enjoy the ridiculousness, because it's Pink Cadillac’s spirit animal if that spirit animal was just a big ol’ stoner comedy.
6. Burlesque (2010) Did you love the idea of Clint Eastwood getting into showbiz drama in Pink Cadillac? Then you’ll love Burlesque. Cher and Christina Aguilera do an impromptu dance routine and somehow make it work—kind of like the time Clint Eastwood was driving a Cadillac through all of that craziness. There’s singing, there's dancing, there’s even a plot that barely holds together. It’s all about how glamorous failure can be, like Pink Cadillac, but with more sequins and fewer cars.
7. The Cannonball Run (1981) If the idea of Clint Eastwood in a ridiculous race against time sounds appealing (but with fewer bad guys trying to kill him), you’ll love The Cannonball Run. It’s an ensemble cast, completely unhinged and packed with car chases, stunts, and people who think acting is optional. If you’re still wondering why Pink Cadillac exists, Cannonball Run will have you questioning the entire concept of good taste in the best way.
8. Showgirls (1995) You didn’t think you’d escape Pink Cadillac without a truly nonsensical Hollywood disaster, did you? Showgirls is the Pink Cadillac of ‘90s bad decisions. The acting? Hilariously bad. The dialogue? Unbelievably cringeworthy. The plot? Please. But somehow, it’s all so wrong that it circles back to being... something resembling entertainment. A little glitter, a lot of awkward nudity, and a whole lot of “what did I just watch?”
9. Overboard (1987) If you liked Pink Cadillac for its forced romantic tension and the idea of Clint Eastwood falling into absurd situations, Overboard delivers the same vibe but with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. She’s a rich, pampered woman who gets “overboarded” into a life of blue-collar charm. It's like the '80s answer to your Pink Cadillac desire, but with more slapstick and less existential crisis.
10. Face/Off (1997) The plot of Face/Off is about as ridiculous as Pink Cadillac—if Clint Eastwood’s car was a person, and that person switched faces with a bad guy. But hey, John Travolta and Nicolas Cage are here to make your wildest '90s action dreams come true. The entire movie is a gloriously absurd action-hero tour de force. If you loved Clint Eastwood’s whimsical chaos, you'll be all in for this.
So there you go! If you enjoyed Pink Cadillac, these films will take you on a wild ride—whether you wanted a sweet adventure or an absolute trainwreck. Some of them might even make you question your life choices. But hey, isn't that the point?
