    ^^ Oh right, now I remember the scene you talked about in the spoiler box. Okay, it makes sense but I still don't really get the movie :lol:

    I've seen Splash, but I can't remember much of it.
    Inside Man sounds familiar as well.

    And of course I know The Sixth Sense. I really liked it because it was so creepy. Poor Haley Joel Osment! :( And for once, that was an unpredictable movie IMO.

    Somehow I didn't expect Bruce to be dead himself....okay, when his wife didn't react when he talked to her you kinda thought "What's going on with her?" but it always went with the situation, like we thought they'd had a fight or something.

    I loved Splash! I'm a huge Tom Hanks fan so I see every movie he does. And he's done several with Gary Sinise too! I haven't seen Inside Man or John Q but I don't like Denzel Washington so that's why I never bothered.

    Here's a few I think no one has heard of:

    Head-it's a Monkees movie and it's quite absurd but I still like The Monkees!

    Tigerland- I believe this was Colin Farrell's first movie. It's really good and lots of shirtless shots!

    Midnight Madness- wasn't too thrilled with it but my hubby made me watch it with him when we were first engaged as it is his favorite movie

    hahaha no worries, it's kinda complicated so I'm not even sure I can explain it so how can I expect you to understand it ahaha


    Aw, really? cause I totally kinda figure that out from the start for some reason...I don't know why but I just did but I get why you didn't expect him to be dead himself...It was quiet an unperdictable ending!

    Splash is an awesome movie and Tom is so funny in it as usual! :)

    I'm just finished watching one of his movies now, has anyone seen/or heard of Sleepless In Seattle (Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan) --- Its a pretty funny movie, I love it! :)

    p.s. Steffi - I love your current icon! :)

    Yea I've seen Sleepless In Seattle. It's sweet. I like You've Got Mail, it's Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan again, almost sort of the same as sleepless but more modern should I say? I love that movie, it's hilarious and romantic!

    I absolutely LOVE You've got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle!!! :D
    I think it is so cute how Suzy (Rita Wilson) talks about that movie (famous, but I forgot the title) where two people were supposed to meet in New York but she couldn't come because she'd had an accident but was too proud to tell him *sniffs* ;) That scene is so funny...well kind of :lol:

    And of course was Meg Ryan in You've got Mail! How could you forget her?! :p Hilarious! I like the scene where Tom Hanks comes to her appartment and she's got a cold :lol:

    Thanks :D Isn't it adorable?!

    I have a ton.

    Little Big League a feel good baseball movie, with Timothy Busfield and a ton of actual real MLB players, including Leon Durham, Kevin Elster, and Rafael Palmeiro.

    The 13th Warrior With Antonio Banderas, a rendering of the epic poem Beowulf, based on Crichton's book "Eaters of the Dead"

    Chasers A military movie with Tom Berenger, Erica Eleniak and William MacNamara. Berenger and MacNamara are escorting Eleniak to the brig, and hilarity ensues.

    Detroit Rock City Kiss Flick. Not the biggest Kiss fan, but it's still fun. What four teenagers will do to see their favorite band in Detroit.

    My Blue Heaven Steve Martin movie, where he's a gangster in the Witness Protection program relocated to San Diego.

    Madhouse Kirstie Alley and John Laroquette. Couple gets their house taken over by some not very polite houseguests.

    Once Bitten 1985 ish Vampire comedy starring Jim Carrey (yes that Jim Carrey) and Lauren Hutton.

    The Craft Teenage witchcraft type thing from the mid 1990's. Has Neve Campbell and Fairuza Balk in it.

    Matinee Stars John Goodman. Sort of a summer love story between a couple of teenagers set against the backdrop of a movie theater and the late 1950's/ early 1960's.

    Antonia's Line or just Antonia a Dutch language film about a elderly woman who's about to die reflecting on the last 40-50 years of her life since the end of World War II

    Heart and Souls Starring Robert Downey Jr. Sweet movie about a guy who's getting a bit of assistance from four spirits who've been following him around his entire life. He's supposed to help them with their unfinished business, and they end up helping him right back.

    Galaxy Quest Star Trek Send up. Sigourney Weaver blond and with big boobs. 'Nuff Said.

    Evolution Sci Fi send up with David Duchovny.

    Lifeforce Vampire movie from the 1980's Vamps from space (they don't suck blood, they just suck your...lifeforce) Quite good, actually.

    Just You and Me, Kid Movie from the late 70's or very early 80's Starring Brooke Sheilds and George Burns. Very Cute.

    Jumpin Jack Flash Whoopi Goldberg Spy movie. Good one.

    I have a ton more, but I've already written a book.......In case you can't tell, I'm a sucker for a lot of 80's stuff and bad horror movies.

    Of course I know Galaxy Quest :D .... :rolleyes: I don't know why but parts of that movie really crack me up!

    I've heard of Evolution but never watched it because the scenes I've seen of it didn't look too interesting :p

    Jumpin Jack Flash...great! Another very funny movie :)

    How about "Piranaa"? About Piranhas terrorizing a new lakeside resort.
    It has one of my all time favorites lines in a movie:

    It has that typical owner who doesn't believe there is anything to worry about and his assistand comes in while the owner is on the phone, trying to tell the owner about the piranhas and when the owner finally gets off the phone:

    Owner (of the resort): What about the piranhas?

    His assistant: They're eating the guests, sir!

    I don't know why, but I just love that scene!

    Yeah, wasn't too sure how many people knew all that much about Galaxy Quest. I don't think it was that big of a hit when it came out. Didn't meen to come across offensive.

    The thing that really cracks me up about that one is Alan Rickman's character. The whole put out "I'm a serious actor who's reduced to these Galaxy Quest conventions" thing was hysterical.

    Then the whole "Truth Serum" scene in Jumpin' Jack Flash. "I'm a little black woman in a big silver box. The top of it says 'Phone.' HELP!!"

    "Oh, look, a Tropical Fish and it's mate!" "Y'know, there's some funky lookin' people in New York!"

    I'm feeling the urge to dig out all my DVD's and videotapes of thes movies and just have a movie night.

    This one crops up in any 'worst movie title?' discussion I have ever seen!

    In the B-movie tradition I'll contribute "Empire of the Ants" starring Joan Collins. I was once forced to watch this, and it just misses the 'so bad it's hysterical' cutoff.
