Peggy Sue Got Married is a 1986 comedy-drama film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Kathleen Turner and Nicolas Cage.Peggy Sue Bodell (Turner) is a tired woman on the verge of a divorce from her husband Charlie (Cage). She married him at the end of high school when she got pregnant, and their relationship has been rocky ever since. She goes to her high school Class Reunion without him, and meets her old friends again. Peggy is nominated for the reunion's queen, but she faints on stage. When she wakes up, she's in 1960 and has just fainted after donating blood. Can she get back home? Or will she choose to try to start a new life and not get married? | |

"Mister Sandman" Sequence | |
| Peggy Sue Got Married / int_1078bba8 | comment |
"Mister Sandman" Sequence: One happens shortly after Peggy Sue wakes up as her teenaged self in 1960. As her friends drive her home, she's treated to shots of her hometown as it used to be, with vintage clothing and cars everywhere, and "Tequila" by the Champs on the radio. | |

Unreliable Narrator: Peggy Sue claims she never slept with Michael. But even before her "trip", she might have and was simply lying about it, since it would have meant she cheated on Charlie. | |

I Need a Freaking Drink | |
| Peggy Sue Got Married / int_1f250372 | comment |
I Need a Freaking Drink: Peggy's reaction to time travel, even taking an extra drink and justifying it with "what the hell, I'm probably dead anyway". It allows her to drunkenly mock her father for buying an Edsel. | |

It Will Never Catch On | |
| Peggy Sue Got Married / int_3149c4b0 | comment |
It Will Never Catch On: The number of things Peggy Sue knows about the 1980s sound utterly ridiculous from an early-1960s viewpoint. For example, Charlie does think that The Beatles song "She Loves You" would be better with "Ooo's" rather than "Yeah's". | |

| Peggy Sue Got Married / int_37690091 | comment |
Stable Time Loop: Maybe. Peggy Sue is sure she doesn't remember an extended blackout during her high school years, but there is some evidence to suggest that the timeline which existed before her journey back is the timeline caused by her journey back. | |

Foreseeing My Death: When Peggy tells her grandmother she dreamt that she had died, the grandmother is entirely unconcerned, because she already knows when and how she'll die. Her grandfather chuckles that she refuses to tell him the circumstances, but fully believes her. So does Peggy. | |

Because You Were Nice to Me | |
| Peggy Sue Got Married / int_738d1a0f | comment |
Because You Were Nice to Me: Peggy Sue is the only person Richard isn't snarky to at the reunion. It's implied he likes Charlie because a) he likes Peggy Sue and by extension Charlie, and b) one scene has 1960 Charlie praising Richard as a nice guy who is writing a book, hinting that Charlie never bullied him (In fact, it's probable that Peggy Sue and Charlie as a couple would have been friendly to him post-high school). Peggy is sincerely astonished and pleased to see him at the reunion, too. | |

Or Was It a Dream?: After she wakes up in the hospital at the end of the film, Peggy Sue is uncertain about the reality of her experiences until she sees a dedication to her in a book of poetry by the Bohemian rebel she romanced in the past, referring to their time together. Or it could be Peggy Sue did sleep with him in the real past and lied about it to friends. | |

Best Years of Your Life: Despite being dropped back into the drama of being a senior in high school with all the attendant relationship issues, social issues, and parental pressure, Peggy Sue spends most of the movie feeling like it's true. Her grandparents are alive, she can still be close to her sister, her terrible marriage hasn't happened yet, and she doesn't have any adult worries like house payments. Her unborn children are the only thing she seems to miss. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Was it a Near-Death Experience as she hears a doctor telling her, or did she really engage in Mental Time Travel? The one chance to test the theory (letting her get hit and killed by a truck) doesn't happen because Peggy Sue doesn't go through with it. | |

Make Wrong What Once Went Right: Peggy Sue tries to change her own life to escape a loveless marriage — and instead rediscovers why she loved Charlie to begin with, while changing several other people's lives for the better. Also, the fact that her children Scott and Beth would never be born is a major reason as well. | |
