The Golden Child

I love The Golden Child. My wife hates it.

I-I-I-I-I want the kniiiiiiiiiiiiife....

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Shakes the Clown

Awesome comedy. Highly recommend to see it again even if you have seen it before. One of those that you continue to pick up on stuff that didn't hit you before.

Still holds up - made in '91

Crazy People (Dudley Moore)

Some of the ad lines were hilarious!

You may think phone service stinks since deregulation, but don't mess with us, because we're all you've got. In fact, if we fold, you'll have no damn phones. AT&T - we're tired of taking your crap!

"Paramount Pictures presents 'The Freak.' This movie won't just scare you, it will #### you up for life."

Metamucil: It helps you go to the toilet. If you don't use it, you'll get cancer and die.

Porsche. It's a little too small to get laid IN, but you get laid the minute you get out!

United Airlines: Most of our passengers get there alive

Come to New York, there were fewer murders than last year

Jaguar - sleek and smart. For men who would like handjobs from beautiful women they hardly know!

SONY - because Caucasians are just too damn tall

 

[Insein]

I'll add:

Ronin

Enemy of the State

I don't think Ronin belongs on here. 68% by RT critics and 80% by users.

Same with Enemy of the State. 71% and 78%.

Both good movies with good reviews.

Agree with a lot of these. Con Air, Gung Ho and Mr Baseball

Beastmaster is another one for me.

so much cheesy Marky Mark goodness.

Good one. I always sit down for that one too.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Deathe Race. The new one with Jason Statham. Love that movie.

Weekend At Bernies

Whoa whoa who, how was this not critically acclaimed?

I remember Siskel and Ebert panning it when it came out and I kept thinking "that looks pretty good to me".

 

[Mister CIA]

I thought Ishtar was pretty good. Of course I watched it on Cathay Pacific with a bottomless bottle of wine.

Bolded = enjoyed a lot.

King Kong was (other than Jaws) one of my best going to the movies with my dad experiences. I was only 6 years old but remember all of it. We went to the Normandy on 73rd and Collins ave in Miami Beach. It was an old school single movie house with a balcony for smokers, rocking seats, giant screen. They had a 35 foot cardboard Kong draped around the marque of the theater. I remember being in awe. The line wrapped around the block to get a ticket. I fell in love with Jessica Lange at that moment. Every time I watch that movie I always have a smile on my face. And the soundtrack composed and conducted by John Barry is IMO one of the all time epic soundtracks. It is so under the radar because the movie was an awful flop. It was my first big monster movie in the theater. My dad showed me the black and white before as well as Mighty Joe Young to prep me. He hated this movie while I loved it and cried like a baby when Kong was getting shot up by the helicopters. The final scene of Kong laying there, the heartbeat thumping it's final beats....pure tears for me.

Funny Farm - My wife and I love quoting lines from this gem. Chevy Chase was in top form. A underrated 80's comedy.

Summer School - So cheesy now when i watch it. Yet back then it was so damn good.

Three O'Clock High - This came out right around the time Ferris Bueller did. This movie flew under the radar.

Helter Skelter - Was shown this in Sophomore Biology.....we had two football/wrestling coaches who dual taught us in biology (must have been 45 kids in the class back in 1986). They showed us this movie, as well as The Last Dragon. To this day...I never understood why LOL.

Spies Like Us

What About Bob

Wait, people didn't like these?

[zamboni]

Bloodsport, of course.

And I refuse to believe anyone actually liked Grease II.

 

[packersfan]

I don't think Helter Skelter would qualify for this thread. That got Emmy nominations and I'm pretty sure it was highly regarded.

Damn scary movie at the time when you realized it was all based on true events.

Summer School - So cheesy now when i watch it. Yet back then it was so damn good.

Hot Kirstie Alley again.
