On this day, October 21, 1988, Mystic Pizza, directed by Donald Petrie, premiered in U.S. theaters. Starring Annabeth Gish, Julia Roberts, Lili Taylor, and Vincent D’Onofrio, the film tells the heartwarming story of three young women working at a pizza parlor in a small Connecticut town as they navigate love and life. The movie had a budget of $6 million and grossed $12.8 million at the box office. Notably, Mystic Pizza marked the film debut of Matt Damon in a small role.

Do you remember watching Mystic Pizza when it first came out, or did you discover it later after Julia Roberts became a household name?
