- The Tall Guy (1989) ~ (Mr. Goldblum goes to England?) Jeff Goldblum stars as an American actor living in London and working in the theater as a straight man to obnoxious comedian, Rowan Atkinson. He eventually meets and falls in like with nurse Emma Thompson and upgrades his career to the lead role in a stage musical about The Elephant Man called "Elephant!" Richard Curtis' (Four Weddings and a Funeral) first stab (I think) at a film screenplay is very charming and although unimportant it's a fun little treat.
- Thief (1981)
- Tonari no Totoro (1988) (aka My Neighbor Totoro)

And why (when I get a chance).
FINALLY SOME ONE ELSE WHO LOVES SANTA SANGRE!!!!!
THAT MOVIE...WOW I CAN"T EVEN DESCRIBE IT. IT WAS DISTURBINGLY BEAUTIFUL. TRULY UNIQUE. MEET THE FEEBLES WAS INSANE AS WELL.
Yes, I like it a lot. Have you seen his film El Topo?
I have not seen El Topo.
Can you please give me longer plot synopsis for From Beyond. I have a feeling I've seen it but not sure. Does a villain have a third eye in it?
Great list by the way, I second the recommended ones except for Miracle Mile, ARGGGGGGGGHHHH!. Nice to see someone else got suckered into the hammy pleasures of Into The Night. Although I will have to put that one on the guilty pleasures listing. I love the beginning scene where he goes home and finds his wife with some guy, but instead of going into the house he sneaks around to the bedroom window like a peeping tom. Then he just hops in his car and drives away. Priceless.
But where is Cry Baby?
Tallyho
:?)
