It wasn't an easy choice! While I prefer Star Trek, I don't have a big problem with Top Gun being in there. It has its own charm.

I don't remember it that well, so I definitely need to revisit it. I'm sad to admit that I haven't seen Howard the Duck. I plan to do a marathon of notorious flops at some point, and that would have to be on there. I like both The Three Amigos and Top Gun. I just ran out of space.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351431577484530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-13637742996054536292012-06-29T08:55:43.958-05:002012-06-29T08:55:43.958-05:00Jessica, I'm interested in seeing In the Name ...Jessica, I'm interested in seeing In the Name of the Rose; it sounds like a cool premise. Plus, it's hard to go wrong with Connery. I haven't thought much about Children of a Lesser God, but I saw that it did very well at that year's Oscars. I know it was a star-making vehicle for Marlee Matlin. I'll have to keep it in mind for some point in the future.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351431577484530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-73696525038624244472012-06-29T08:52:49.395-05:002012-06-29T08:52:49.395-05:00Thanks Dave!

I saw Big Trouble in Little China in the theaters when I was a kid, and I'm a also a big fan of Carpenter and Russell. So it's hard for me to look at it like I might if I was watching it for the first time now.

I'm guessing I must have missed something in it, but fair enough. My list would probably be: 5. The Colour of Money 4. Ferris Bueller's Day Off 3. Three Amigos 2. Little Shop of Horrors 1.

I have no idea of how it would hold up today.<br /><br />I also have very fond memories of Stand by Me and I can imagine that one is still as good. It would certainly be on my top 5 list.

But it's also a fantastic year for movies, as well. I'd have to put my #1 as, of course, Little Shop of Horrors.<br /><br />But besides some that you mentioned, this is also the year of Howard the Duck! Seriously though, Three Amigos and Top Gun are two you didn't mention, as well. <br /><br />Though my Top 3 would probably be 3) Aliens, 2) Big Trouble in Little China, and 1) Little Shop of Horrors.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.com
