Splash Report Abuse
There's nothing better than an 80s movie with a completely implausible plot line ... Tom Hanks falls in love with a mermaid. Classic.

So I Married an Ax Murderer Report Abuse
This movie is so underrated. Mike Myers is hilarious as always ... he has fallen in love with Harriet who just seems a little too perfect. Based on an article his mother recently read in a supermarket tabloid, Myers' character becomes obsessed with the idea that Harriet might in fact be a serial killer.

I once read an article stating that John Cusack has ruined every man's chance of ever making a woman happy, because really who could possibly compete with Lloyd Dobler? No one!

Chasing Amy Report Abuse
A completely different movie from Kevin Smith, this romantic comedy was actually pretty ground-breaking as the lead character develops a crush on a girl only to find out she is a lesbian. Or is she?
