Midnight Run 1988, R)
One of the first times I've seen De Niro in a comedy, and together with Grodin, they're brilliant. |

I don't know how many times my friends and I have quoted this film. |
|

| 4 |
Kung Fu Hustle 2004, R)
Fun story. Clever use of special effects. |

Groundhog Day 1993, PG)
Murray is another one of my favourite actors. Brilliant script. I totally bought the romance between Murray and MacDowell. Some great lines, too. |

An instant classic. Great ensemble cast. Great chemistry. They hit every mark just right. Infinitely quotable. |

The Fifth Element 1997, PG-13)
Egypt, pyramids, spaceships, and aliens, *and* Bruce Willis? It's got everything I like. |

Akira 1988, R)
Not my first exposure to Anime, but it was the first time I realized what Anime is, and that it's not just cute cartoons for kids. It gets better everytime I watch it. |
|
| 14 |
Shaolin Soccer 2001, PG-13)
Not my favourite Stephen Chow movie, but it's right up there. Incredible special effects and a hilarious movie. |
|

Hudson Hawk 1991, R)
A guilty pleasure of mine. Willis and Aiello are great together and it shows. You can tell they had a lot of fun making this movie. |
|
| 16 |
Brain Donors 1992, R)
They don't make comedies like this anymore, and that's a damn shame. A modern day Marx Brothers type movie. John Turturro like you may have never seen him before. |

Amélie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) 2001, R)

Radioland Murders 1994, PG)
Fast paced comedy and an amazing cast. |

Bean 1997, PG-13)
Atkinson and MacNicol were hilarious together. So many great bits. A few from the series, but some others that fit in perfectly with what one would expect if Bean visited the US. I love pulling this one out and watching it every few months or so. |
