In For ObservationHairspray
[ Ricki Lake, Divine, Jerry Stiller ] Indie-boy John Waters goes mainstream and delivers a comedy with all-day hold. 1988.

Medical MiracleHalloween
[ Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance, P.J. Soles ] My sphincter tightens at the very thought. 1978.

Under the KnifeThe Hand That Rocks the Cradle
[ Rebecca de Mornay, Annabella Sciorra ] You'll rent it for Rebecca; you'll remember it for the asthma scene. 1992.

In For ObservationHannah and Her Sisters
[ Barbara Hershey, Michael Caine, Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest ] Does it seem like Michael Caine has been in every movie ever made...or is it just me? Well, for this one he won an Oscar. 1986.

In For ObservationHappy Gilmore
[ Adam Sandler, Christopher McDonald, Bob Barker ] Sandler is a violent hockey player turned violent golfer. Scene of Sandler and Barker in fisticuffs is a hole-in-one. 1996.

In For ObservationHard-Boiled
[ Chow Yun-Fat, Tony Leung ] Wicked action makes this one a real kick in the pu-pu platter. Directed by John Wooooooooooooo! 1992.

Medical MiracleA Hard Day's Night
[ The Beatles ] Groundbreaking "rockumentary" captures the Beatles at their Beatlest. Directed by Richard Lester. 1964.

Critical ConditionHarlem Nights
[ Eddie Murphy, Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor ] Eddie Murphy's ego at its most inflated. I recently saw it on TBS with the F words cut out, and it ran as a 60-second spot. 1989.

Critical ConditionHarper Valley P.T.A.
[ Barbara Eden, Nannette Fabray, Ronny Cox ] Okay, there's "Ode to Billy Joe" and this one. Let's just hope that's the end of the song becomes movie fad. Can you imagine "Macarena...The Movie?" 1978.

In For ObservationHollywood Shuffle
[ Robert Townsend, Anne-Marie Johnson, Helen Martin ] Give credit where it's due: Townsend used his Visa to finance this funny indictment of filmdom's treatment of black actors. The Siskel & Ebert parody is a high point. 1987.

Medical MiracleHoosiers
[ Gene Hackman, Dennis Hopper, Barbara Hershey ] Small-town Indiana basketball team rises to glory in probably the best basketball movie ever made, and it's based on true story. This one's a triple-double. 1987.

Under the KnifeHot Shots
[ Charlie Sheen, Cary Elwes, Valerie Golino ] Top Gun a la Airplane spoof gives us more "Mad Magazine"-style nonsense from director Jim Abrahams and his Zucker cohorts. Not as good as Naked Gun. 1991.
