Some Like It Hot

Princess Caraboo
My Cousin Vinny! I haven't seen that one in years. I remember really liking it. I need to rewatch it. It was great seeing Fred Gwynne (who I first saw as Herman from The Munsters) as the judge. :)
shareI used to bump into Fred’s daughter on the Boston nightclub scene. She looks EXACTLY like her father—in a wig. The Gwynnes are very smart people. Have you seen Princess Caraboo? It’s a very sweet and funny movie.
shareThat’s so neat! I would have asked her all kinds of questions about her father, haha. Fred always came across as an intelligent man. He certainly could make me laugh. He and Al Lewis together were a great comedic duo, both in The Munsters and in Car 54, Where Are You. I have not seen Princess Caraboo but I know of the actual story. I just looked up the movie. I’ll have to watch it! It sounds like one I’d really enjoy!
shareStripes (1981)
Caddyshack (1980)
Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
Animal House (1978)
Arthur (1981)
Caddyshack is awesome. Bill Murray is perfection in that. I still need to see Stripes (I know, I know, where have I been?). I like Animal House a lot. I didn't expect to because generally I'm not big on "frat boy" humor, but John Belushi was hilarious.

This is Spinal Tap (1984)
