No particular order...

Paul Bart Mall Cop I&II...by far Kevin James greatest work, I expect big things out of number III also

Showgirls...Director Paul Verhoeven is at the pinnacle of his game in this one

Cut Throat Island...Paul Verhoeven gets a double shout out...nothing says swashbuckling adventure like Gina Davies and Mathew Modine...

Battlefield Earth...John Travolta acting and directing in this one, is there anything he can't do...the Scientology Genesis Story...this is the movie that converted me

Ishtar...whenever I am feeling down, nothing cheers me like the comedy due of Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beauty...chemistry is just too small a word...these two actors share one soul...

The Adventures of Pluto Nash...Eddie Murphy just killing it...

Caddy Shack II...sad to say Jackie Mason's last appearance in the movies...Dan Aykroyd turns in one of the all time reserved subtle performances here...don't know how the Academy missed this one...

Sheena...Tanya Roberts was completely fenced in by Charles Angles, (the TV series), given the right vehicle for her kind of artistic expression, she was able to soar in this one...

King Kong...Peter Jackson took the first two versions of this out to the wood shed...every blink Jack Black makes in this one has purpose...who knew a raised eyebrow could open my heart...

Anytime you want a great movie recommendation just let me know...I have plenty more where that came from...

I hope this helps...Just between you and I...there are some very very low brow knuckle dragging movie "experts" on this board...I won't mention any names...BW, KM, VK, FR, RW, U510, RGA, PJ, AuPh...I would not let these guys pick my nose...let alone a movie...

Now...Movies to avoid...

Ex Machina...aka Weird Science...

Birdman...he fly's...whoop-ty do

The Imitation Game...oh look I built a computer...

The Tree of Life...somebody please turn up the volume...

Whiplash...aka...Bad Teacher...

The Theory of Everything...English smarty pants...

Lost in Translation...I think I'm turning Japanese...I think I'm turning Japanese...I really think so...

Lincoln...I am Daniel Day Lewis and I grew a beard...lot-tee-da...

I would not watch any of this drivel...

thanks for the great question...
Mark
