8. Hudson Hawk (1991)

I don't care what anyone says, I will defend this action-comedy's greatness until the end of time. It's ridiculous and over-the-top, yet it endears itself by never taking itself seriously. I've watched Hudson Hawk more times than I can count and while it's not perfect it's definitely different, highly quotable, and thoroughly entertaining.

Top films listed in the order I like them, though repeat viewings could potentially rearrange said order. And of course the order could be further altered once I watch the "Unwatched contenders".

Hmmm. gotta say I'm surprised T2 fell off your list.

ha, your Naked Lunch picture just makes me wonder yet again why I haven't gotten around to seeing it yet. Nice mix here!

Wow! You're going to get loads of comments for adding Hudson Hawk AND Highlander 2 on your list. These are 2 of the most hated movies ever made... Good luck with that...

Like Xanadon't, I still have to see Naked Lunch....

'91 was my favorite movie year of the 90's - lots of great ones, and I just watched The Rapture which is added to the list of my '91 favorites now -I still need to watch Fisher King, The Doors and a few others though - I'm surprised to see Hudson Hawk on your list, I haven't watched it because it doesn't get a lot of love, but I will check it out - and since I just noticed that it is on Amazon Streaming, looks like I'll be having a '91 double feature night tonight :)
