Anyone who has worked at a restaurant, especially a chain restaurant, should enjoy Waiting... Also, I’ve always found Galaxy Quest to be funnier than I expected it to be.

The original Heartbreak Kid (1972) with Cybill Shepherd. Cybill was 22 and stunning.

Galaxy Quest is crazy well done, so good.

Director Elaine May is a genius. If you like The Heartbreak Kid you might also like A New Leaf (1971).

She sure was something Fair. A Cheryl Ladd girl-next-door look w/ better acting abilities. Though I'd cast Cheryl in anything she wanted (including Shakespeare) if I was a director, mind you...

This gets overshadowed by Bridge on the River Kwai and Stalag 17, but I think it is better than the latter Billy Wilder film.

A wild movie told from 3 different perspectives. Lots of fun. A number of now well-known actors in smaller supporting roles.

This was our lives (w/out the hazing). Linklater did a really good job - can be argued he did as good a job as Lucas did with American Graffiti, which is something.

In 1968, the elderly David "Noodles" Aaronson (Robert De Niro) returns to New York, where he had a career in the criminal underground in the '20s and '30s. Most of his old friends, like longtime partner Max (James Woods), are long gone, yet he feels his past is unresolved. Told in flashbacks, the film follows Noodles from a tough kid in a Jewish slum in New York's Lower East Side, through his rise to bootlegger and then Mafia boss -- a journey marked by violence, betrayal and remorse

Predator, and I'm not a scifi or big Arnold fan, but just like that movie.

Dennis the Menace. Walter Mathau was incredible as Mr Wilson. I laugh hard every time I watch it.
