Real Genius should make more “best of” lists from the ’80s than it does. Val Kilmer had a tremendous future as a comedic actor before he started taking himself too seriously.
I hope you’re having a good weekend.

Dude, I’m just tickled to have drawn another fan into the conversation. That movie is such a gem.
Yes, of all the great comedies that came out of the Eighties, that one definitely does get overlooked.
Some of my other faves (as I peruse my DVD collection) from that era include “Bachelor Party,” “Back to School,” “Better Off Dead,” “The Cannonball Run,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Ghostbusters,” “The Golden Child,” “Hot Dog – The Movie,” “Hudson Hawk,” “Major League,” “One Crazy Summer,” “Ski School,” & “Weird Science.”
If you want REALLY obscure, though, see if you can identify this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EIJbG71SmI&feature=related

Cusack Corollary – All movies are better with John Cusack in them. Yes, even 2012.
Just a nit. _Hudson Hawk_ was early 90’s. I remember ushering at the Carmike in Franklin when it premiered.
So, Bo, when’s the salient discussion of _Human Centipede_ or _Birdemic_ hit the blog?
Oh, and Serious Kilmer was pretty good in _Spartan_.
nhfalcon, lots of classics on that list. “Did somebody order an asshole from room service?”
BamaDan, I actually briefly blogged about Human Centipede once. Don’t know if you’re remembering that, or if it’s just a coincidence. (You know, Netflix doesn’t seem to traffic in the seriously disturbed foreign horror stuff. Go figure.)
I think I had blocked it out. Now it seems to be making it’s run(? oh did that really escape my fingers ?). At least there’s going to be a sequel. Maybe with Justin Bieber.
I love movies that make Hostel seem like the family feel-good hit of the summer.
