I watched a total of three movies last year and two of them sucked. I don't think I've seen a movie so far this year, and I'm looking for suggestions. What's a movie that you really love?

I love the fact that it's an entire movie where the side-kick is treated as the main character, while the actual main character is treated as the side-kick. It's brilliant.

It's also responsible for by-far my most used line. "It's like I told my ex-wife. "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. And besides that, it's all in the reflexes."

    "You remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: 'Have ya paid your dues, Jack?' 'Yessir, the cheque is in the mail.'"

    Jack talking tough on the radio sends me, he's just such a wannabe tough guy clown.

    So many adventure movies have the white saviour action hero protagonist with a sidekick who's an (often racist) ethnic caricature. Jack is a caricature of an American tough guy, and it works so well. I wish we saw it in more movies.
