They're the movies that time, and bad CGI in the ADD cell phone apocalypse we now live in, have dismissed.

Hamburger: The Motion Picture
Hot Dog...The Movie
Fraternity Vacation (early "Andy Dufresne" epic, with a certain Texas Ranger's woman for some of you)
Just One Of The Guys
Doctor Detroit
Up The Creek

Little Shop of Horror
The Flintstones
American Ninja
Bloodsport
Best of the Best
Some Kind of Wonderful

Nice.
I'm showing BOD to my wife this weekend. Somehow she missed it.
I just played my Band of the Hand LP today.
Munchausen is...stunning.
Smokey and the Bandit is so much fun. Sammy Hagar sums it all up nicely.
I have Cannonball Run permanently DLd to my phone and i Pad.

Awesome. Your wife should enjoy it. Both Smokey and Cannonball Run have so many memorable quotes.

No. They drove us to the video store and let us get a couple of movies while they waited in the car.
I had to borrow that one from the internet. I had it (badly) recorded on a VHS tape for a long time, but my last VCR died about 7 years ago.

Totally forgot about The Wanderers. Good movie. Was overshadowed by The Warriors but still a great gang movie. Shogun Assassin is awesome. Have to watch the other ones again as its been too long since I remember them.
