Scent of a Woman (1992)
See this as soon as possible
I don't leave many comments on this site. I do watch a lot of movies. I'll leave commentary aside on this. I'd rather you knew nothing about it before watching it. If you want to see it rent an uncut version as any TV edits for language and content will REALLY detract from the experience!! That's my only advice other than to say:
This is my favourite film.
Rowan Atkinson Live (1992)
Worth its weight in Gold
Unsurpassed in visual humour. This is Rowan Atkinson at his very best, with the possible exception of the best episodes of Blackadder. Gut-bustingly funny and so much more sophisticated than Mr Bean. If you can get hold of it, buy it and keep it safe. Worth its weight in gold
Shrek (2001)
If you don't like this movie go check your pulse as you may well actually be dead and hadn't realised.
Take a dash of Austin Powers, the merest hint of Dr. Evil, a splash of Fat Bastard and a cup of Stuart, Charlie's father from So I Married an Axe-Murderer and edit for expletives and you get Shrek. Add Eddie Murphy on better form than in Mulan, Cameron Diaz (enough said) and John Lithgow throw in the funniest script in decades and send ups of everything from Gremlins 2 to The Neverending story, every film Mike Myers has done and everything emanating from Walter Elias Disney's brainchild and you get just about the funniest film I've seen in ages.
If you don't like this movie go check your pulse as you may well actually be dead and hadn't realised.
Tomcats (2001)
Shannon, she's a fox. In French she would be called la renarde and she would be hunted for her bushy tail.
Leave all your ethereal, pedantic nuances at the door. Go in, sit down and enjoy. If you think the plot is transparent you've missed the point. It's just 2 enjoyable hours, some good jokes, some very genetically blessed people and some nice, gross humour. Ideal for a Sunday with a hangover.
Leave, go to the nearest church and thank God for making Shannon Elizabeth.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Legendary
Everyone who has been in a dull classroom, looking outside at the sun has wanted to be Ferris. Everyone who ever skipped school only to do nothing has wanted to be Ferris. Everyone who has ever seen this movie has wanted to be Ferris.
The seminal teen movie of the last 20 years, no disrespect to the Breakfast Club. If you don't like it, you're dead from the shoulders down and the neck up.
Trading Places (1983)
Dukes steal the show but its the one liners that stay with you
Cracking movie. Some of the best one liners you'll ever hear. Murphy is amazing as is Ackroyd but the show is stolen by Ameche and Bellamy as the twisted Duke brothers who make the bet for a dollar to switch them. Fair enough, its a play on the old prince and the pauper theme, but it works and is amusingly done. Best scene: the ridiculous characters on the train with Ackroyd made up as an African. Best line: (Ackroyd after a night in the cells), I smell. Penelope, do you realise where I've been. They beat me up, and stole my clothes. THOSE MEN WANTED TO HAVE SEX WITH ME!!!"
