Hope so - looked it up - is still available on laserdisc but only in Pan & Scan

[Illiterati-migration]

OMG! I forgot one of the greatest, most hysterically funny movies of all time!

 

Fletch!

 

And the Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

 

And now I'm done. I swear.

OK - GHOSTBUSTERS, TIME BANDITS, REAL GENIUS are quite good.

 

And to be fair -I confess having not seen the rest of them so my [!@#%^&^] is only valid for the number have seen.

 

Let me help you:

 

Ghostbusters (conspicuously absent thus far) EXCELLENT

 

Better Off Dead TOP THREE FAVORITE OF ALL TIME

 

Time Bandits VERY GOOD

 

Real Genius TOP THREE FAVORITE OF ALL TIME

 

Short Circuit "I AM SPORTING A TREMENDOUS WOODY!" VERY FUNNY

 

Kung Pow HAVEN'T SEEN IT

 

Cannonball Run I & II DUN DUN DUUUUUUUNNNNNNN -- I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE.... CAPTAIN U.S.A.!!!

 

One Crazy Summer GREAT

 

Top Secret "THEY'D HAVE ENOUGH SALT TO LAST FOREVER!" GREAT

 

Three Amigos GUAPO -- IF YOU WANT FOOD, YOU TAKE THE FOOD. IF YOU WANT CATTLE, YOU TAKE THE CATTLE. IF YOU WANT A WOMAN . . . YOU JUST TAKE THE WOMAN!" AWESOME

 

Ice Pirates NEVER SAW IT

 

Rockula NEVER SAW IT

 

The Emperor's New Groove NEVER SAW IT

 

Favorite lines from:

 

Better Off Dead: "I want my two dollars!" (Although I really like the scene with Cusak working in the diner to Van Halen - cheesy claymation that works)

 

Real Genius: "I want to see more of you in the lab." "Fine, I'll gain weight."

I have "I want my two dollars" engraved on the back of my iPod!

Man, I forgot Fletch too.

 

"Can I borrow your towel? My car hit a water buffalo."

"I'll have a steak sandwich and a steak sandwich."

 

The entire "examination" scene is hilarious:

 

"Ever serve any time, Doc?"

"You using the whole fist there, Doc?"

Those are great lines indeed, but how can you pick ANY line from either of those movies as your favorite? Those are two of the most brilliant comedy scripts ever written. They are chock full of classic lines!

 

"Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy. I know high school girls."

 

"Nasal spray. You know where I can score some?"

 

And from Real Genius:

 

"For instance, I file this under 'H' for 'toy.' "

 

"Would you characterize that as a design problem or a launch problem?"

 

"I'm sorry! I'll buy you a car! I don't have one though, it's my dad's!"

 

"If there's every anything I can do for you -- or more to the point, to you -- you let me know, ok?

 

Can you drive a six-inch spike through a board with your [!@#%^&^]?

 

Not right now....

 

Girl's gotta have her standards...."

Fletch: Where am I?

Nurse: You're in the records room.

Fletch: Oh. Do you have the Beatles White Album? Never mind, just bring me a cup of hot fat. And the head of Alfredo Garcia.

, you have to wonder who writes this stuff and where it comes from.

That's what I always loved about movies like Fletch and Ghostbusters... SO much just sounds like improv! So random, so unrehearsed...

BAH! I was trying to remember the last quote but couldn't remember the length of the spike so I backed off! Dern!

 

How about the two "dork" characters in each movie? Richie ("They speak the international language - love") in Better Off Dead and Kent ("Why were you nude with a bowl of Jell-O? I was hot and and I was hungry.") in Real Genius. True .

[Illiterati-migration]

"Gee, Kent, and we were going to make you queen of the Winter Carnival..."

 

"Really??"
