A Ray-Ban wearing Tom Cruise flashes his career-making smile in 1983's Risky Business.

HOLLYWOOD -- Wanna feel old?

This year's marks the 25th anniversary of Risky Business, the movie that ensured a permanent place for Tom Cruise, Ray-Ban Wayfarers and Bob Seger's Old Time Rock & Roll in pop-culture history.

To mark the occasion, yesterday Warner Home Video released a digitally remastered double DVD edition of the movie which includes a never-before-seen alternate ending and Cruise's original screen test.

One look at Tom's baby face (he played Chicago teen Joel Goodsen, but he was over 20 when he shot it) takes you back to a more innocent time, before all the Scientology stuff and Oprah's sofa.

And let's not forget Rebecca De Mornay's ingenue of a call girl, years before she'd shack up with Leonard Cohen and get in trouble with the law for driving under the influence.

You're likely going to be hearing a lot this week about how Tom Hanks, Timothy Hutton and Nicolas Cage were among those considered for the lead, or how the movie, although not ranking among 1983's top five releases, nevertheless went on to earn roughly 10 times its original $6.2 million budget.

But chances are there won't be any air time or page space set aside for the 25th anniversary of another Tom Cruise movie, so we're here to give it its due.

Just so happens that a few months before Risky Business hit the theatres, another Tom Cruise movie arrived on the scene called, Losin' It.

Ring a bell?

It may not have had a slick tag line like, "There's a time for playing it safe and a time for Risky Business," but, hey, "They we're boozin' it, bruising it, and cruisin' it, but mostly they were ..." wasn't too shabby, either, for a teen sex comedy about four guys looking to get lucky in Tijuana.

Not only was Cruise the star, but the Canadian production (the legendary Garth Drabinsky was executive producer) also featured Shelley Long and Jackie Earle Haley long before he'd win kudos for his portrayal of a creepy child predator in Little Children.

And the director was Curtis Hanson, who'd go on to critical acclaim with L.A. Confidential and box-office success with The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, starring De Mornay.

But you don't see Losin' It being treated to a deluxe commemorative Blu-ray DVD release, now do you?

If only Drabinsky had thought to strike a product placement deal with the Ray-Ban people.
