"It's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that"

Each Wednesday night Matt and I take turns picking out a movie for the 2 of us to watch. We only have three rules:

1. The other person can't complain about the movie until it's over

2. It has to be a movie that we enjoyed growing up

3. It can't be rated R

Those are the rules these are the movies we have watched so far






We have come to the realization that some of the movies we loved are in fact stupid, whereas others (Better off Dead) are still awesome.

But now the point of my post, it's my turn this Wednesday to come up with a movie. I NEED HELP! Any suggestions would be great tell me the movies you remember loving and for all of you who suggest Goonies and I can't do it and here's why I've never seen the whole movie. I know gasp and be shocked but it's the truth.

** sidenote: Can you guess who picked which movies and what movie the title of this post is from?


Add on: Oops, I forgot to include this one, it was our first movie:

Tim and I would be happy to help, seeing as we randomly buy cheap movies that we haven't seen for years. We got Adventures in Babysitting but haven't watched that one yet. I have a feeling that will be disappointing, but maybe funny. I remember cringing when he gets stabbed in the foot.

Here's a few to think about:
Back to the Future
The Karate Kid
Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Flight of the Navigator
The Breakfast Club
Or just some Quantum Leap episodes

Tell us what you pick next!

I love the title. I recognized it the second I read it. May I suggest my 2 favorites- Sixteen Candles (this movie perhaps should have been rated R, but is strangely only PG) and Can't Buy me Love- a true classic.

Most of my suggestions might be a better fit for Matt than you, but here's one that might work:

Mannequin.

I will suggest that this movie will not hold up twenty five years later.

There are some great Matthew Broderick movies (WarGames, Project X, etc) and some terrible sci-fi (remember Enemy Mine?). There are classics (Red Dawn!) and older classics (Charade! Some Like It Hot! etc!). I'll keep thinking.

Oh, last night, on a recommendation from one of my coworkers, we watched LadyHawke on Netflix Instant Watch. What a terrible movie!

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, To Kill a Mockingbird, and I did like the "Mannequin" suggestion. It made me laugh so hard!

Gigi said...

Oh yeah! Also, "Say Anything"! How could I have forgotten that one. What about "Weird Science"? That maybe should have been rated R, but it wasn't!

I am so bad at remembering the names of movies...I like the one where Audrey Hepburn is blind and she almost gets killed when he comes to her apartment. Anyone know what movie that is? It was a thriller!

Diane,
It's called "Wait until dark." My dad scared the you-know-what out of us with that movie. Although he scared us even more with Terminator.

I know I'm a little late in the convo, but what about Farris Buhler's Day off? Total classic.
