Shaun of the Dead 2004, R)
Comedy and violence blended perfectly together! I can see this movie over and over. |

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind 2004, R)
I love a movie that must be viewed several times. And nice to see Jim Carey playing a straight role and Kate Winslet being the kooky one. |

A Fish Called Wanda 1988, R)
A classic. Hillarious. With a couple of the Monty Python guys in the mix, it blends American and English humor perfectly. |

Jacob's Ladder 1990, R)
You must see this one 3 times. The first time, you'll be lost until the end. The second time it all makes sense & you pick up on the symbolism. The third time is just for entertainment. |

Evil Dead 2 1987, R)
After the first one tried to be scary and failed, they just redid pretty much the same story, with a slightly bigger budget, more effects, and added humor. This movie will always be one of my favorites. |

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid 1982, PG)
An underrated film from back when Steve Martin was funny. Using clips from classic black & white movies, he's able to share scenes with the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Bette Davis, and Veronica Lake. |

The Great Race 1965, Unrated)
This one's got it all: car racing, good vs evil, romance, an old west saloon brawl, a polar bear, sword fighting, great old-timie music, a huge pie fight, I could go on and on. Jack Lemmon (Professor Fate) is the perfect villain, and Tony Curtis (The Great Leslie) is the perfect good-guy, as well as Natalie Wood being at her most beautiful. you must see this movie! |
