I'd definitely replace #3 with "Bachelor Party" and #5 with "The Bonfire Of The Vanities". Then I'd reserve space at the bottom to recognize "Bosom Buddies" for being a dumber TV show than "Small Wonder".AceKingSuited said:1. Turner and Hooch.
2. Joe Versus the Volcano.
3. Splash.
4. The Money Pit.
5. You've Got Mail.
...want me to keep going, or was the whole post sarcastic?

All I remember about Bachelor Party was sneaking in to see it in the theater, and that some super-hottie with a ridiculous physique named...Monique something or the other, walks out from behind a curtain totally naked, and my young eyes just about popped out of my head. GREAT movie.Gargamel said:

Yeah and to keep the believability going, Hanks' character turned her down. After that scene, Adrian Zmed brought a donkey to the party in the hopes that...rolleyes. Anyway, the donkey keeled over after eating a pile of uppers. And if that wasn't bad enough, yes, I said Adrian Zmed.Bricklayer said:All I remember about Bachelor Party was sneaking in to see it in the theater, and that some super-hottie with a ridiculous physique named...Monique something or the other, walks out from behind a curtain totally naked, and my young eyes just about popped out of my head.

Check out the viewer comments on imdb.com. This is one of the more polarizing titles that I've come across. The reviewers either love it or despise it.

To me this is a very simple one: TOM HANKS!

I have to agree about Matt Damon. I haven't seen him in a movie that I've hated. Not one. Even movies that got mixed reviews like Talented Mr Ripley and Legend of Bagger Vance, I didn't think were bad movies.

Tellin' the truth is a dangerous business
Honest and popular don't go hand in hand...
Why the hell can I quote the stupid song from Ishtar?? Because its frickin' funny, that's why. At least, it was when I was a kid.
I only saw that movie once, but those two lines have stuck with me forever.

Oh yeah, for the record, this thread is evil.
All day, and all night, I've been going over the entire works of assorted actors and actresses to determine who would make the cut.
These are the reasons my indecisive *** has been repeatedly banned from making any sort of favorites list.
