Tommy Boy
As a mismatched pair, Farley and Spade have their comic moments, with the big galoot playing off the little jerk.

The Goonies
From a story by Steven Spielberg, this kids' treasure hunt comedy is sick, rude fun.

The Whole Shootin’ Match
This debut film by Pennell, the trailblazing Texas filmmaker, was recently restored. It remains a delightfully talky, slice-of-life comedy that focuses on two over-the-hill dreamers.

Pulp Fiction
Tarantino's second feature film lights up the screen with the same blazing torch that it carries for the idea of the movies.

A Few Good Men
Melodrama doesn't come more butch than this, and the performances reflect that intensity, although Aaron Sorkin's moral predicaments are given full scrutiny.

The General
The General is one of Keaton's best films. In this Civil War comedy, Keaton does battle with the General – only thing is the General is a stolen train, not a soldier. There's a girl and some Union spies but, mostly it's Keaton, the Great Stone Face, all the way.

Valley Girl
This is one of the great teen romance movies: It’s Romeo and Juliet played out between an L.A. punk rocker and a Valley girl. Cage has never appeared more soulful.

Written on the Wind
This wild love story among the pillars of a rich Texas oil family features a drunken, paranoid playboy (Stack, in maybe his very best performance), the woman who loves him (Bacall), the man who loves her (Hudson), and the half-sister (Malone) who loves him. This oil-family story is way, way east of Eden.
