The Best and Worst Films of 1996
70Uh huh. Oh that's right. Let's go there. Together.
The incomplete list promotes more feedback for three reasons:
1) You guys can save me the trouble of seeing films like Escape from L.A. which you're welcome to defend, if you dare. If something is listed on the bottom as still need to see and enough of you say it sucks, then you guys decide where it goes at the bottom of the list, I got better things to do.
2) You can recommend the next film I see. I'll publish all you're suggestions as long as you don't spoil the plot. Feel free to gimme your favorite quotes or scenes to the ones I have ranked or argue the validity of said rankings.
3) Most important though is you'll be able to come back later knowing that the list will have been updated since I watch 2 films a day if I can. (One during bagels at breakfast and one after dinner since the writer's strike.)

I think you're thinking of 1986 but whatever.
Ummmmm... agree except Happy Gilmore and Phenominon need to be moved up alot :-) or is this a "best of" or just in order by date of release?
You seriously think of Happy Gilmore as a great film?
Peter might have a touch of Peter Pan syndrome. He still loves Kiss and Adam Sandler movies. j/k
As much as I think the Sandler songs like Red-Hooded Sweatshirt and Lunchlady Land are hysterical, that's how much I can't even watch his movies.
The Wedding Singer is the only tolerable one for me. Cause he says that great line about the Van Halen t-shirt and the fact that Billy Idol was in it.
