- DirectorHarold RamisStarsBill MurrayAndie MacDowellChris ElliottA narcissistic, self-centered weatherman finds himself in a time loop on Groundhog Day.It is creative in spite of what sounds like such a repetitive theme. Phil Connors has to live the same day over and over, until he gets it right!
- DirectorMike WhiteStarsMolly ShannonJohn C. ReillyPeter SarsgaardA secretary's life changes in unexpected ways after her dog dies.Besides being a dog lover myself, I just like the movie in general. Mike White is such a good writer, and has a real feel for the oddball type of personality.
- DirectorBob RafelsonStarsJack NicholsonKaren BlackBilly Green BushA dropout from upper-class America picks up work along the way on oil rigs when his life isn't spent in a squalid succession of bars, motels, and other points of interest.Nicholson's character is not likable, but that does not make him any less interesting to watch. His on and off girlfriend, Rayette, is an added bonus, as well as the rest of his quirky family and friends.
- DirectorMike JudgeStarsJason BatemanKristen WiigBen AffleckJoel, the owner of an extract plant, tries to contend with myriad personal and professional problems, such as his potentially unfaithful wife and employees who want to take advantage of him.As a big fan of Office Space and King of the Hill, I became an even bigger fan of this movie, which never fails to make me laugh. Bateman, Affleck, Wiig, Kunis, and Koechner among others, are comedy magic.
- DirectorJay RoachStarsBen StillerRobert De NiroTeri PoloMale nurse Greg Focker meets his girlfriend's parents before proposing, but her suspicious father is every date's worst nightmare.Another movie that I've seen multiple times, and don't seem to tire of. DeNiro and Stiller are great together as well as the rest of the cast. The sequels were not so good, but hey, I won't let it ruin the original!
- DirectorHarold RamisStarsAl FrankenLaura San GiacomoVincent D'OnofrioA self-help advocate struggles to put his dysfunctional family in its place.Not that well known, but seems to have a cult following among devotees of twelve step programs.
- DirectorPeter SegalStarsChris FarleyDavid SpadeBrian DennehyAfter his auto-parts tycoon father dies, the overweight, underachieving son teams up with a snide accountant to try and save the family business.Chris Farley as Brian Dennehy's son, and paired up with David Spade equals lots of lowbrow laughs.
- DirectorJohn PasquinStarsTim AllenJudge ReinholdWendy CrewsonWhen a man inadvertently makes Santa fall off his roof on Christmas Eve, he finds himself magically recruited to take his place.The original. The sequels weren't so good, but my family and I not only watch this every year at Christmas, but sometimes even other times of the year!
- DirectorAndy FickmanStarsAmanda BynesLaura RamseyChanning TatumWhen her brother decides to ditch for a couple weeks, Viola heads over to his elite boarding school, disguised as him, and proceeds to fall for his school's star soccer player, and soon learns she's not the only one with romantic troubles.Such a silly movie. But so good-natured and full of laughs. Channing before he was famous, and Amanda before she was troubled.
- DirectorDelbert MannStarsErnest BorgnineBetsy BlairEsther MinciottiA middle-aged butcher and a school teacher who have given up on the idea of love meet at a dance and fall for each other.I will close with this heart warming 1950s classic that I never get tired of watching.
