I ALWAYS hated Three Men and a Baby!

Never understood why that movie ruled the year of 1987.

Such a terrible movie.

Others here maybe like it?

Still there's some killer titles in this one.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles drives over all competition.

My pick as well.

That would have been awesome to see that in the big screen.

reply

I love the fact that it holds up so well.

It's a classic man.

I think there's a "Who Wants to be a Million Dollar" episode where 250k was on the line during a phone a friend asking about what season this movie took place.

Nobody seems to remember this as a Thanksgiving movie.

reply

I think the problem for non-American is that their Thanksgiving is so close to Christmas that they sort of blend together for non-Americans, so I can understand the confusion.

reply

I wish I could find that episode.

I'm sure it was 250k question on the show.

I was wrong, it was an 8k question.

reply

Yikes. It was an American audience. Uhm, what's their excuse?

reply

I always thought it was a Christmas movie.

reply

Let's see.

It had John Candy in it. You like candy. You especially like Christmas candy. You think of the movie and you think of Christmas candy.


reply

There aren't very many Thanksgiving movies.

reply

Well, to a certain degree one must compliment the movie goers of the late 80s.

The one I think is the best also has the highest box office gross.....

"Fatal Attraction"
