1. Drop Dead Fred (1991)
Very little known movie but made a huge impression on the lucky few who have watched this gem. The one scene where he lies on the floor to look up a woman's skirt was very inspiring.

2. Jack the Bear (1993)
Danny DeVito in a surprisingly touching role as a father. One of those f'd up family movies with a big ass heart.

3. Crash (1996)
Based on J.G. Ballad's novel by the same name about people that can only get off by getting into car accidents. Good times.

Nice 80's movie twist on the classic horror film genre.

6. The Burbs (1989)
Tom Hanks best movie. Well, maybe not, but it was pretty creepy in a good way. Especially that one guy with the freaky foreign accident toting a needle.

7. Matinee (1993)
Nostalgia for times when going to a movie 'Matinee' was the 'bee's knees'!

8. Sugar & Spice (2001)
Crazy ass pregnant cheerleaders robbing banks and shiznit. If i'm not mistaken Mena Suvari is in it.

9. The Brave Little Toaster (1987)
The only film (that I know of) that personified appliances in a heartfelt way. You have to be evil not to feel for this touching masterpiece.

10. Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991)
One of those movies that when you start to watch it, its hard to get up. I wonder if charges were ever brought against them for the dead babysitter.

Elijah Wood does a great job in a serious film dealing with serious family problems.

13. Return to Oz (1985)
The stuff of fantasy that any kid would love. I find it a lot more exciting than the original. But no one ever remembers this one.

14. Breaking Away (1979)
Biciclyes and pretending to be italian and Dennis Quaid and a damn good story.

15. The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
Lesser known Disney movie with overtones of Sherlock Holmes without. Pure gold.

Trippily ahead of its time.

17. Young Einstein (1988)
I don't really remember much about this movie since I saw it as a kid. Something about a bath in an undersized outside tub and crazy hair.

Pretty good Kevin Costner mystery thriller. Film unfolds like a novel.

20. Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995)
Takes adolescence to the extreme. The main character, an odd character, has a twisted appeal to her. Precursor to Napoleon Dynamite.

Ed O'Neal is great in this buddy road picture. Funnier than all of the great known comedies.

Ya you know this movie. I bet you haven't talked about it today though.

23. Idle Hands (1999)
Devon Sawa in a very animated performance. This blurs the line between comedy/horror. Everytime I think of Sawa though I think of him tripping off a lot of acid in SLC punk. Funny.

24. The Astronaut's Wife (1999)
Probably Johnny Depp's most forgettable movie, but it wasn't that bad. Kinda creepy.

Crazy fast gorillas in the jungle due to experimentation gone horribly wrong. Got HORRIBLE reviews, but I think it was decent.

If Guillermo Del Toro can top this with his version of 'The Hobbit' i will be impressed.

A movie that has it all. Not sure who the girl was in it, but I had a crush on her.

Philosophical, existential mind-f*** of a movie. I remember seeing this with 4 other people. At the end of the movie they all said in unison, that was the best f***ing movie I have ever seen!

The song at the end (Fatboy Slim-Song for Shelter) heightens the emotionality incredibly for this true story of teenagers who kill their best friend.

I always secretely wanted Bob to turn into a serial killer when the hospitable family lets him spend the night in his sons room. Luckily that wasn't the case, though. Bill Murray is mad funny.

I was perfectly content having forgotten Young Einstein. Thanks for ruining that for me.

On the other hand, there's a lot of movies here that I either loved growing up or have loved since I first saw them...so nicely done! Your comments were my favorite part though.
