To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
If you were to tell me you didn't enjoy this film I would not believe you. It's not just a "Priscilla" rip-off! It's funny and has a good heart. Plus it's amusing to see Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes in drag!

Wayne's World (1992,  PG-13)
Wayne's World
Back in the day... when Mike Myers was still funny, and Dana Carvey was Garth Algar! Wayne's World was my absolute favourite film when I was a kid! Garth is the only Dana Carvey character I have ever liked. His dance to Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" always puts the biggest smile on my face! And the "Bohemian Rhapsody" rock out in Wayne's car is what instilled the love of Freddie Mercury into my heart forever!

Essentially, Wayne's World is the embodiment of the early 90's! It's full of excellent tuneage, (plus a phenomenal Alice Cooper performance!), and some brilliant dialogue! I know I'll be quoting this film for the rest of my life!

"She makes me feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class."

I really need to get this on DVD! I have definitely worn out the video tape I've owned since the age of six.

61
Casper (1995,  PG)
62
Powder (1995,  PG-13)
Powder
Very emotional and beautiful film. It gives me chills every time I watch it! Sure it could have done with some better performances, but the story is utterly fantastic. It's a shame the director had to molest some kid in a prior film. It really focused a lot of negative energey around Powder's release. Just because the director is a disgusting human being, it doesn't make this film any less amazing. I haven't seen anything like this before, and I probably never will again.
63
The Gate (1987,  PG-13)
64
Free Willy (1993,  PG)
Free Willy
I'm a mess when a film involves releasing an animal back into the wild. It always makes for such a bitter-sweet ending. This was one of my favourite movies as a kid. I still love it! Total classic.

Road House (1989,  R)
Road House
PATTY S. and Sam Elliot! Yes! Well, this has to be one of my biggest guilty pleasures! It's a real "manly" film, but with an actual story, an excellent soundtrack, and some fabulous '80s cheese! Not to mention, Jeff Healey, who fronts the band that serves as the Double Deuce's main act nearly every night!

I remember thinking Road House was one of the best films in the world when I was a kid! I also had a thing for Patrick Swayze films. No idea why, but whenever a new movie came out with him in it, I was there! Anyway, I knew I loved Road House when I was a child, but I couldn't seem to remember all of the details, so I decided to re-watch it last week. And honestly, I still think it's brilliant! I know I should be shot for saying that, but I really do love this movie! The dialog is stunning! Road House gives us some of the cheesiest lines known to man! Some notable ones include: "The Double Douche", "Come on, chicken dick", and my personal favourite, "I fuck guys like you in prison!" There is without a doubt some slight homoeroticism to Road House. Everybody is aware of it, but the fact that they try so hard to ignore it, makes this movie even more amusing!

If you don't take it too seriously, Road House can be an excellent film! It's not a "oh my God, this film just changed my life" type of movie, but it's highly entertaining!
