You know you are old when you saw Ferris Beulers Day Off in theater like I did. For that matter I saw Manniquen as well.

Dude, I saw Star Wars the very week it came out in the theater. Costed me a whole buck.

But Real Genius and Ferris' Day Off are awesome. Weird Science too.

I never found her to be particularly attractive. In fact I found her to be utt bugly.

My intent apparently wasn't clear. I don't necessarily find Grace attractive either (see some of my previous posts in other threads for evidence). I just thought her striking, sleek, androgynous look fit her character well. Say what you want-- when she steps into the room, all eyes are on her. She's the prototype of Lady Gaga, stage-presence-wise.

OK, I was with you until ... Heartbreak Ridge? A war movie, mainly, about the Grenada "conflict"? Talk about Hollywood having to scrape the bottom of the barrel...

Hey any war movie is a good movie ..................... ok maybe not Platoon

Word. You want good Vietnam war movie: The Green Berets. Of course, that's back in the sixties.

Go back to WWII, for "The Sands of Iwo Jima," with The Duke as Sgt Ryker.

Heartbreak Ridge is a great comedy! Oh, it was supposed to be serious? Eastwood is very entertaining in the movie, though the rest of it wasn't that great.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. Am I the only fan around? The movie is totally silly, but is still funny.

Definately a fav. Clint vs the Swede.

I didn't see Vision Quest. Just watched it via netflix. Another 1985 classic.

I love Top Secret! I've wanted to go skeet surfing for years, but I can't find anywhere that will let me do it.
