I LOVE Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead!!! I can kinda see how they could get mixed up in your head, they came out rather close together and they both have older teens taking control of situations and younger kids but they are pretty different otherwise but both, if not ART, highly enjoyable films with very appealing lead performances. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-76222367928991587652018-02-17T09:55:52.959-05:002018-02-17T09:55:52.959-05:00You forgot a couple of plus signs.

Of course, <i>Coming to America</i> as I'm actually working on an essay about the film and hopefully mark the return of my Favorite Films essay series. Personally, I would've picked Oha's "She's Your Queen to Be" or Randy Watson's "The Greatest Love of All" as they're just so funny to watch though Akeem's "To Be Loved" is a damn good choice that often gets overlooked. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-88103540495018528052018-02-15T14:54:37.451-05:002018-02-15T14:54:37.451-05:00It is sad that i have not seen any of these and I ...It is sad that i have not seen any of these and I have wanted to see Coming to America for a long time.

Unfortunately that's the only one of your picks I've seen. Well that's not quite true...I turned on House Party somewhere after it started had no clue what was going on and turned it off but that hardly counts. I did see The Best Man which was okay but had no idea there was a sequel. <br /><br />I expected this to be tougher to come up with three since the restriction was a narrow one but my trio come rather easily to me.<br /><br />Adventures in Babysitting (1987)-When Chris Parker (a phenomenal Elisabeth Shue) agrees to babysit the Anderson kids after her date cancels at the last minute she has no idea that she is embarking on the rollercoaster ride of her life thanks to her friend Brenda (a hilarious Penelope Ann Miller) being stuck at the bus station in the city. Going to help against her better judgement she and the kids have one harrowing madcap adventure after another including an unexpected but spirited impromptu performance in a jazz club. Disarming and just plain fun.<br /><br />The First Wives Club (1996)- At the funeral of one of their college roommates who committed suicide when her ex-husband married a younger woman three women (Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton) reunite for the first time in nearly 30 years. When they realize the reason for their friend's suicide, they discover a common bond-all of their ex-husbands have taken them for granted as well-they decide it's time for revenge and unite to get back at their exes. Scheming and chicanery topped by a musical number follow. <br /><br />My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997)-Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) panics when her best friend Michael (Dermot Mulroney) calls out of the blue and tells her he is getting married the next weekend to pert, ultra-wealthy Kimmy (Cameron Diaz). Once upon a time Julianne and Michael had made a pact to marry each other if they hadn’t found someone by their 28th birthday, with this news she decides Michael is the man for her and sets out to stop the wedding against the advice of her other best friend George (a scene stealing Rupert Everett). Hilarity and an unexpected musical number ensue. Disarming romantic comedy with Roberts’s superstar charisma totally responsible for making her rather contemptible character someone you almost root for. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-75066584245328696712018-02-15T07:31:07.817-05:002018-02-15T07:31:07.817-05:00I've seen your first two picks, but not Best M...I've seen your first two picks, but not Best Man Holiday.
