Nice call on your "NOT-GREAT STUFF THAT JUST WORKS" (epspecially Die Hard w/ Vengeance and Tremors!) To that category I propose adding Star Trek: First Contact and MST3K The Movie.

In order for that to work, they'd need to find and revive Wild Man/Misfit Murray, not the deadpan, morose creature that the Wes Anderson movies helped turn him into.

Outside Providence! I totally forgot about that movie til you mentioned it. An underrated (or maybe just under-seen?) departure for the Farrellys, kind of more down-to-earth slice of life type of thing, if I remember?

I was saying the exact same thing in the comments of last installment. Comedy always gets the short shrift, I wish they'd do a separate list just for comedies of the decade. There's a lot of variety in the genre too.

I love that movie. It's good, but I think it gets overlooked in Carpenter's filmography because the '90s is known as when his movies Started Sucking. Kind of an outlier in that sense.

You fellas have a lot of growing up to do, I'll tell you that. Ridiculous! Completely ridiculous!
Can you believe these characters? Way out of line, WAY out of line!

You know what hurts the most is the lack of respect, you know? That's what hurts the most.
