    There are tons, I bought this one for my son when he was a babby 20 years ago. John Cleese, Sean Connery? How do more people not know this classic, (which was penned by the Beatles' George Harrison?!?)

    What are some others?

    Time Bandits is a cult classic and they're making a TV Show out of it.

    Not many people I've talked to have seen True Romance. Written by Quentin Tarantino. Showed Gary Oldman's range, because it wasn't White Boy Day.

    Airborne- Jack Black's first movie. The lead is an old buddy of mine (he lives in Galveston now). Cheesy AF but had a certain sort of magic teenager movie, down to the Race for Something at the end of the movie.

    True Romace was an awesome movie. I didn't even know Tarantino wrote it. No wonder it was so good.

    I have watched this movie so many times. The lines are hilarious. Great comedy and great acting by Billy Bob and Laura Dern. I guarantee you will laugh a lot at this one.

    Laura Dern is such an underrated actress. Really liked her in October Sky, but here's one that better fits this category...

    Another good one that gets remembered as another Ellen Page movie but Drew Barrymore actually steals this picture (and my younger daughter's boyfriend's aunt worked on it... as did she work on Boyhood, Sin City, Dusk to Dawn, Tree of Life, Machete, and a number of episodes of Friday Night Lights)...

    So much this. Devastating and quietly evil film. Here's a (NSFW) scene from the friendly and safe part of the movie.
