Still the best!
Added 6/10/2008
This is my favorite movie. As in the movie High Fidelity, on my list of 5 best, this is number one. It will always be Number One for me.
Please, please will someone put this on DVD. I cannot share an old VHS with friends. I send this out to friends who've never seen the movie. Nobody has these players anymore. Please someone respond. what am I to do?
Sharon, from Texas where Bob Wills is still the King!

Where's The Rest Of It?
Added 9/8/2004
I saw this movie on cable and loved it. I was very happy to find out that it was on video, but when I rented the VHS I was surprised to find that some Hollywood lunkhead thought the thing would move faster if they edited out all the really good parts. The VHS made no sense. I want to see the movie I saw first...please...somebody put it onto a DVD. I'll buy it.

VHS edits out important scene
Added 6/1/2004
I first saw this movie on HBO without the editing on the VHS version. The first date with old boyfriend (Peter Coyote)where Juanita tells why she loves Texas was the reason she wrote her song to Texas to begin with. Without that scene, it takes the heart out of the movie. Please remake this on DVD without this killer editing.

Baja Oklahoma - Wonderful movie
Added 12/8/2003
I first saw this movie several years ago and fell in love with it. Leslie Ann Warren and Peter Coyote are wonderful! I was happy to see that I could get my own copy. The ending will have you cheering, laughing and crying all at once. It is a real FEEL GOOD MOVIE! I highly recommend it!

A Country Charmer Penned by Dan Jenkins...
Added 1/8/2003
Baja Oklahoma is a wonderful HBO Original Film that is remembered primarily as an early Julia Roberts vehicle, but deserves much more than that! Written by 'Semi-Tough' scribe Dan Jenkins, the film crackles with great one-liners, inspired casting, and a 'Cinderella' storyline that's hard to beat.Lesley Ann Warren (who's never been feistier or more beautiful) is Juanita, a good-hearted Texas woman with a string of bad relationships, an 18-year old daughter (Roberts) running off to Aspen with a dope-pushing boyfriend, a dead-end job waitressing at a bar, and dreams of being a songwriter. Her best friend/fellow waitress, Doris (the fabulous Swoozie Kurtz) cheats on her husband regularly, depending on her to back up her alibis; her patrons (including singer Billy Vera and the terrific William Forsythe) are an undependable but very likable collection of oddballs. When Juanita's high school flame (Peter Coyote) returns to town for his father's funeral, her life begins to turn around. Both have been burned but still remain optimistic, and he believes in her talent. All she needs is some good advice (provided by Vera), a little management (offered by local deejay Anthony Zerbe, who's a hoot), some inspiration (from Coyote, of course!), and a little luck, and her dreams just might come true! Filled with classic country tunes, appearances by Emmylou Harris, John Mayall, and Willie Nelson, and a terrific title tune by Jenkins and Nelson, this is a 'feel-good' movie that may just bring a tear to your eye by the finale. It's that good! So if you purchase this simply to see Julia Roberts, prepare to be enchanted by another 'Pretty Woman'!
