True Romance 1993,  R)
True Romance
I find no flaws in this movie. It's just a perfect knock down drag em out shoot em up love story :-) Slater & Arquette have great chemistry. This is what love is all about. The supporting cast features Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, James Gandolfini, and the brilliant Gary Oldman. Watch for cameos by Brad Pitt and Val Kilmer, and pass me that honey bear bong. I could watch Clarence and Alabamas cross country love story over and over! Watch it, and then we'll go for pie. Do you like to get pie after a good flick?

A Few Good Men 1992,  R)
A Few Good Men
Aaron Sorkin's masterpiece about a young Navy lawyer who defends two soldiers with the help of his best friend and Demi Moore!! Jack Nicholson won an Oscar for his superb portrayal of Col. Nathan Jessup. If you can handle the truth, the truth is, I've never met anyone who didn't like this movie.

Batman 1989,  PG-13)
Batman
Tim Burton's best film! Jack Nicholson makes Cesar Romero's Joker look weak, and I love Cesar Romero! I was so impressed with the writing, directing, casting, and acting with this pretty much flawless movie. This is what comic book movies are supposed to look like! No matter how dark the movie feels, Joker Jack steals the show and brightens the screen. My choice for Batman wouldn't have been Michael Keaton, but damn if he didn't pull it off (TAKE THAT GEORGE CLOONEY, VAL KILMER, etc.) Robert Wuhl added comic relief and Kim Basinger was, well, Kim Basinger. I even enjoyed the music provided by the royal badass, Prince. Michael Gough began his run of Batman movies as Alfred Peenyworth and he was very good. He's no Alan Napier, but Napier was dead when this was released I believe, or would have been in his 90's probably, so Gough was sufficient. "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984,  R)
A Nightmare on Elm Street
The birth of a legend! Robert Englund is perfectly cast as the very evil Freddy Krueger. Although there were many before him in the slasher genre (Phantasm's Tall Man, Michael Myers, etc.) Freddy took it to the next level. Excellent supporting cast including Heather Langencamp, and John Saxon. To this day, one of my favorite movies of all time. Johnny Depp made his motion picture debut in this movie.
5
Die Hard 1988,  R)
Die Hard
Another one of my all time favorite movies. Bruce Willis' best movie ever and a flick that is so full of action you won't want to leave your seat, although you'll only need the edge :-) Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber will go down in history as one of the best villians in cinema history. Yippy Kai Yay indeed
6
Poison Ivy 1992,  R)
Poison Ivy
This movie started it all for me. Drew was smokin' hot, played a good bad girl, and even wore a sweet pair of boots. Sara Gilbert was solid as Ivy's best friend. This movie also stars my childhood crush, Cheryl Ladd. What ruins it for me is naked Tom Skerrit. No need to show "old man ass!"
7
The Wedding Singer 1998,  PG-13)
The Wedding Singer
An all time fave comedy, and one of Sandler's best, as well! A must for any 80's music fan. Drew makes a lovely bride.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986,  PG)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Other than Glory, and Biloxi Blues, Matthew Broderick's finest work. Jeffrey Jones is great as the school principal and there is a Charlie Sheen cameo. This movie also gave us Abe Frohman, the sausage king of Chicago! Sloan Peterson is a babe. Check out the boots!

No Country for Old Men 2007,  R)
No Country for Old Men
I finally saw this yesterday. WOW!! Javier Bardem gives one hell of a performance. The man is cold, and ruthless, and sometimes decides his victims fate with a coin toss. I like just about anything with Tommy Lee Jones. Best Josh Brolin performance sine the Goonies :-) I think I liked this Coen brothers movie much better than Fargo, and the ending was quite a shocker. Still, Bardem steals the movie. Can't recall seeing ANYTHING like it. I highly recommend everyone see this, FRIENDO!

Con Air 1997,  R)
Con Air
Look for the guy who plays Tom, or Mr. Friendly, as the escaped convict who hijacks the airplane and crashes it into the Hard Rock casino in Las Vegas.
11
The Breakfast Club 1985,  R)
The Breakfast Club
I love this movie. I don't remember a detention class in my high school like it, but that's the magic of it. 4 distinctly different personalities in one room for a Saturday. The teacher played by Paul Gleason is a RIOT!! A sequel would be welcome, maybe they all get arrested on the same night? :-)
