Aww, I like "The Living Daylights".

But now "Shakedown"'s in my head. Crap. Remember when Little Richard sang it on some music awards show or other? Was Bob Seger that busy? At least Aretha Franklin subbing for Pavarotti was freaky but good.

"Three Men in a Baby, based on 2009 numbers, would’ve made something around $330 million."

"Well, what do you call that act?"

"The Aristocrats!"

I hated Three Men. Do you know how many times I had to endure that movie at slumber parties just to see the effing ghost boy? I was in elementary school and knew it was a crock of shit.

Fatal Attraction scarred my young mind. Mom put me to bed one night so that she and her best friend could watch it. I snuck back in and watched it from around the corner of the couch. Oddly enough, it wasn't the freak deakiness that got me. It was the bunny boiler scene. I started squaling like... well, the little girl I was. Busted.

Dirty Dancing. *sigh* This was regular weekend viewing for my girls and me all through late elementary and early middle school. I remember when we reached the point that some of us understood what Penny did and explained "dirty knife and folding table" to the others. We all cried together. Nice warped bonding moment.

Ahh... 1987. My senior year of high school. The year I broke off a 4 year relationship and started dating the man that eventually became my husband. Good times.

I've seen all of those movies except for Stakeout, Dragnet, Outrageous Fortune and Eddie Murphy Raw. Almost all of the ones I did see, I saw in the theater at the time of release - I think Moonstruck and La Bamba are the only ones I caught later. Some of them I liked OK, some I didn't care for at all, and some of them I absolutely loved. In fact, I still own a VHS copy of Dirty Dancing, although I'm not quite sure where it is right now.

Man, I just realized I haven't seen most of these:

1. Three Men and a Baby $167,780,960
2. Fatal Attraction $156,645,693
3. Beverly Hills Cop II $153,665,036
4. Good Morning, Vietnam $123,922,370
5. Moonstruck $80,640,524
6. The Untouchables $76,270,454
7. The Secret of My Success $66,995,879
8. Stakeout $65,673,233
9. Lethal Weapon $65,207,127
10. The Witches of Eastwick $63,766,510
11. Dirty Dancing $63,446,382
12. Predator $59,735,548
13. Throw Momma From the Train $57,915,972
14. Dragnet $57,387,516
15. La Bamba $54,215,416
16. Robocop $53,424,681
17. Outrageous Fortune $52,864,74
18. Broadcast News $51,249,40
19. The Living Daylights $51,185,897
20. Eddie Murphy Raw $50,504,655

That's it. I still get yelled at by my coworker Chris for never having seen Robocop.

You haven't seen "The Witches of Eastwick"?!?

Throw Momma From the Train still stands as the best work Billy Crystal ever did, Princess Bride notwishstanding.

OWEN! Are you tryin' to kill me? I wanted SALTED nuts, you gave me the UNSALTED nuts!!

The night was damp. The night was hot and wet. The night was....

The night was SULTRY.

That bitch.

Phooey.

You'd have to die if you hadn't seen "Moonstruck" though.

"Old man, you give those dogs another plate of my food and I'll kick ya til you're dead".

"I'm gonna kill the bitch....you want anything?"

".......Chunky?"

Is it any good Jay? I saw some scene once where they were playing tennis, and I remember thinking it seemed really cheesey. But if you like it I'll give it a shot.

The whole point of time's passage is so we can forget about Kevin Costner movies. The Untouchables sucks, and so does everything else he ever made.

*sigh* I remember when Eddie Murphy actually was raw....

I've seen an embarrassing number of those films. Thankfully though, La Bamba is not one of them.

Isn't it about time for a Robocop reboot?

Shut it Cindy!

I get that stupid song from Three Men and a Baby stuck in my head at the most random of times:

Good night sweetheart well it's time to go, bo do de oh do de oh do.

I've seen all but four of those. Predator wasn't higher? Puh.

Terminator vs. Robocop?

Moonstruck was when I first realized I wanted to crap on Nicolas Cage's forehead.

La Bamba. I was the only fourteen year old I knew who went tragic over watching the loss of Valens, Buddy Frickin' Holly and the Big Bopper. I howled in grief, even though the film was so very 'meh'.

Nobody...guh-guh-guh...GOT IT!!! They just didn't understand!!! *pre Emo snivelling*

Dirty Dancing gave me some cred back for being able to sing along in front of my friends during first run at the theatre.

15 of 20.

I am honestly baffled by the power that Guttenberg had in the 80s. What the hell was that, and what happened to him?

I loved Stake-out. I used to think Richard Dreyfuss was the bee's knees.

Gat to da choppah!

That's it. I still get yelled at by my coworker Chris for never having seen Robocop.

Watch this hilarity and tell me you don't want to see the trilogy.

"La Bamba" was actually pretty good. You didn't mist up at "Nooooooo....not my Richie. NOT MY RICHIE!" at the end? C'mon.

I am, however, a sucker for biopics.

Moonstruck was when I first realized I wanted to crap on Nicolas Cage's forehead.

Snap out of it!

The year I was born and I've seen 13 and have no interest in seeing the other 7.

I like that there's one of Nic Cage's few good movies on the list. I love Moonstruck.

Surprised to see "Lethal Weapon" so low. Just assumed it was a bigger hit.
