Peggy Sue Got Married

Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) is Francis Ford Coppola's fantasy comedy, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Kathleen Turner plays a forty-three-year-old woman about to divorce the husband she married straight out of high school. At her class reunion she is crowned reunion queen, then faints dead away.

She wakes up in 1960. Suddenly she is seventeen again, her parents are alive, and Charlie (Nicolas Cage) is not a worn-out spouse but a lovesick teenager singing in a doo-wop band. Knowing everything that lies ahead, what would she do differently? Peggy Sue retakes her senior year, flirts with the town's beatnik poet, and weighs whether marrying Charlie was ever the right call.

Coppola turns the time-travel hook into a quiet film about regret and the choices that make us who we are. Turner earned an Academy Award nomination for the role, and the cast hides early turns from Jim Carrey, Joan Allen, Helen Hunt and Sofia Coppola. Stream Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) online on iFILM.
