49. Great movie!
I love that dialogue when the mormon is auctioning his wife:
"But Elizabeth, you don't know what you'll get!"
Elizabeth: "I know what I've had!"
Bwaaaahahahahaha!

50. Very funny movie!
I think Lisa Kudrow is one of the best comics out there. I'll take watching her in a role over Jim Carrey any day.

24. "On Golden Blonde"
With Craven Morehead and Candi Samples.

Great cinematography and award winning sound track, the apparent thin plot would lead some to criticize the epic.

LOL

when it came out. It is a dark and secret shame I carry with me.

Whew---I feel a little better for having unburdened myself.

29. That was actually a good movie---why would you....
be ashamed of that?
I just watched it again a week or two ago and I was laughing out loud at some of the jokes.

And you're right, Broderick was perfect as , "Ferris Bueller, Bueller .... Bueller."
