Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack (that’s the actual title). Not joking, movie is over the top absurd and actually a solid watch 

If you know, you know

That’s just too fuckin high! Blam!!!!

Such a funny fucking movie for the first 2/3s. The resolution at the end was just tacked on. Another iconic role for Kurt Russell. No one saw it in theaters as the studio just fucked up everything once it was in the can. It was discovered on video.

Kelly’s Heroes is indeed fun. Sutherland’s hippie WWII tank commander was, well, a choice, but he pulled it off. 
 

The Dirty Dozen not so much fun. If I’m remembering correctly almost all of the squad dies.

Yeah. Up there for me. Favorite golf movie without question. Costner is funny as hell, but decided not to funny anymore for what 30 years?

A coworker was an extra in the iconic pelican scene. He thinks he did a great job blending into the scene, but he sticks out like a broken thumb. 

I love the Dirty Dozen. Great movie and the selection segment early and then the training parts are great fun.

Michael. Great road trip movie. Terrific cast. Travolta, Hoskins, McDowell, Hurt, and Murphy Brown’s painter. 
 

Just the right spiritual inspiration and road trip comedy. Also peak Jack Russell Terrier Era. 

Used to watch Fandango whenever it was on. Haven’t seen it in awhile.

Can’t find Cannonball Run on any streaming services but would love to give that one another watch.

ohh Face Off is a good pick...and it reminds me to add both Con Air and Pulp Fiction to my list! 

which also reminds me of...From Dusk Till Dawn and Desperado.

Michael Cera kills. The rest of the movie is pretty unmemorable with the exception of the Emma Watson scenes. 

American Pie and Hot Tub Time Machine are two that I wouldn't call great films but are fun as fuck.

with all due respect, she reached peak physical form 10 years later in blood diamond.  but yeah you could argue her prime has been from legal age to present.

American Graffiti is up there for me, but I think Back to the Future has a little more fun with the 50’s.

This is such a broad category. It can be anything really. 
 

I guess Animal House is my favorite fun movie. It never takes itself seriously and just has a good time.

American Graffiti wasn't a 50s movie. The tag line was "Where were you in '62?"

8_1_4.jpg

Both are fun movies, but American Graffiti had a more serious undertone. George Lucas did it as an homage to the world in which he grew up. It was the year before the Kennedy assassination and before the Viet Nam war, the last gasp of innocence of the post WWII baby boomers. The closing screen, showing what happened to the four main characters, showed two of them dying within a few years (I know, More American Graffiti made the Terry character a deserter, rather than a combat casualty, but that was stupid.)

The characters in American Graffiti were character types, representing the average high schoolers, and the John character, who was a holdover from the fifties that feared the changes of the 1960s.

Wedding Crashers

It’s on mtv right now.  Love it. Wilson and Vaughn have great chemistry and I was living in dc at the time. Makes me miss it.  Lots of memorable scenes.  Splitting a bottle of champagne on the steps of the Lincoln memorial. Let’s just say they aren’t the only ones that have done that

 

also I’ll take isla Fischer over Rachel mcadams any day of the week
