It would be easier to watch Tom Cruise films if he wasn't such a loony.

The Firm and Rain Man were probably his best, although Hoffman was so strong in Rain Man that it eclipsed him many times.

[Vance2335]

Ok I have posted some movies already but I have not seen anyone show love for Tom Cruise and Patrick Swayze besides Dirty Dancing.

TC-Top Gun and Days of Thunder
Both-Outsiders
PS-Youngblood, Red Dawn, Point Break and the great Roadhouse

Roadhouse  love it!! Sam Elliott dancing to all my ex's live in Texas!!

[jeh57]

I loved Smokey and the bandit!! I still watch it a few times a year!! My husband,at the time,thought he could drive like Clint Eastwood....we left the movie theater and he tried driving like him.....we were in a fast car going about 90 down the freeway in Dallas....of course the police got involved and we outrun them!!! Lol...............It was fun back then!

I was so scared to go in the water after watching Jaws......my husband would start that doodleing music....i would come running out of the water!!

They don't get any better than Freddie...I have all those movies! My twins were Freddie for Halloween....they loved to flip out their hand with the little knives(plastic)..lol..

I love Chucky and The bride of chucky...she was a mean little B------!!!!

Last, but not least,Pretty Woman...what can i say??

Let me add Rambo to that list!!! Gosh,i had dreams about him!!! Lol

[swampcritter]

That is one odd list...you have a bunch of slasher films, a classic thriller, a chick flick, and themn...Smokey and the Bandit -- which is a classic of its type...

Grose and lovethebops- 3 of my friends and I dressed up as the mean girls for "dress like a movie character day" We all bought pink shirts and wrote a quote that our character said in the movie.  It was really fun and I still wear my shirt (when Im being a scrub or working out) and people are like "what does that say??" lol

and msgorgous- I LOVED baby mama!! that is the most hilarious movie I have seen in a  LONG time.. oh geez I almost died of laughter.

I also really liked Knocked up.. Any of the movies with the guys from Superbad are usually hilarious.. I liked Superbad, but not right away.. lol I had to watch it a few times.
