Slaveboy- I'm another one who loved the Remo Williams (I read a bunch of the books too) movie- I thought it was great. In that vein, have you seen Jake Speed? For the vampire folks- two movies come to mind- Once Bitten- which has a superb soundtrack which is impossible to find- Jim Carrey's first starring role, along with Lauren Hutton and Karen Kopins (who's also in Jake Speed and is a slightly younger version of Erin Gray.) and Love at First Bite- Susan St. James and George Hamilton in his best role- funny as hell. Love stories- I'm ashamed to admit, I kinda like Love Potion #9 with Sandra Bullock and Tate Donovan- also a good soundtrack. A better movie- No Small Affair- Demi Moore and Jon Cryer- less comedic than #9. I too like Buckaroo Banzai, but I'm not crazy about it. Nobody's mentioned Savage Steve Holland yet- so I will. He likes to throw some pretty good animation in his movies-I still like One Crazy Summer (Demi Moore actually does OK singing one song in this movie) and Better Off Dead. "What's the world coming to when they be throwin out a perfectly good white boy like that?" And has anybody mentioned the zany Casino Royale- the one in the middle- think it was '66 with the most unbelievable cast in a movie- ranging from Peter Sellers to George Raft to Jacky Bissett and Ursula Andress. Still my favorite movie. Blake Edwards did movies with people other than Peter Sellers. One of the funniest scenes ever is the condom cockfight in Skin Deep. If you know a bit about analysis, it really helps for this movie, otherwise it may pull a "huh?" Another underrated movie- the Seven Per Cent Solution- wouldn't exactly call it stupid or cheesy though, so maybe it doesn't belong in this thread. It's Sherlock Holmes meets Sigmund Freud, and I thought it was wonderful. Sam
