Endless Love is a 1981 American romantic drama film based on Scott Spencer's 1979 novel of the same name. The film is directed by Franco Zeffirelli, and stars Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt. The screenplay was written by Judith Rascoe. The original music score was composed by Jonathan Tunick.

The film was released in July 1981 and received negative reviews, with critics comparing it unfavorably to the novel. Spencer disliked it, believing the filmmakers to have missed the point of the book which showcased the dangers of obsessive love. The film was a box-office success, and its theme song, performed by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie, also called "Endless Love", became a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It spent nine weeks at #1 and received Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for "Best Original Song", along with five Grammy Award nominations.

Why it should be riffed:
1. the very dysfunctional relationship between Jade and David needs to be riffed.
2. Shirley Knight is actually good in the film.
3. a young James Spader. Need I say more?
