15. Turning 36 is better than the alternative.
Take it from someone who turns 40 in six days.:scared:

13. It was pretty bad. It'll headline the Judd Nelson retrospective at the
local art house theater, oh, 30 years from now... Or better yet the "brat pack" retrospective.

23. Don't knock Judd Nelson.
He owes me $5, and I'll never see it if he doesn't find work.

20. Who's Johnny by Debarge
Haven't seen either in ages, but Short Circuit is infinitely better than Howard

10. Five alive!! I like Short Circuit.
When I was little and watched Howard the Duck the bad guy, turns all evil toward the end, it scared the living shit out of me! In fact... just reliving that little detail here might give me nightmares! :scared:

14. Howard the Duck wasn't that bad.
It wasn't great either, but I think it was one of those movies that everyone says is bad, just because a few other influential people say so. Like Ishtar. Yes, I liked Ishtar.

16. That CANNOT be the whole list
I think if you check out "Times Square" you'll find the movies you've panned more than adequate entertainment.

Please...

25. "Short Circuit" is a fun enough movie. Sticks it to macho punks and the
military industrial complex.
Praises the individual and free thought. Gotta love that.

28. I refuse to participate in this poll until you add "Heartbeeps":
Andy Kaufmann and Bernadette Peters as runaway androids in a romantic comedy...?
