2. Lethal Weapon – Come on we all know that underneath everything Riggs and Murtough were in love with each other.
3. Say Anything - But in fact it ruins the whole Genre, I mean really could anyone really ever be Lloyd Dobler? I do not think so, but now every woman really wanted that, thanks Cusack you dick
4. Sid and Nancy- Gary Oldman at his Best and the Sex Pistols, it’s over the top with a doomed romance but pure romance none the less.
5. Top gun – the stifled romance between Ice Man and Maverick just hurts to watch 2 men so obviously in love but because of military protocol it is unspoken and unacted upon

Honorable mention – Road house –I thought you’d be bigger, plus you could be my Regular Saturday Night.
Drama
1, ET –Help, the dude he needs to get home and the government won’t let him. I thought we didn’t allow illegal aliens in the country
2. Raging Bull – Yeah I fucked your brother, and I sucked his cock, and his cock is bigger than yours.
3. Road house – What will happen between Dalton and Doc, or Dalton and Wesley, or Wesley and Red. It is never ending drama in Jasper.
4. Scarface – Yes it is over rated and should not be here but you have to give it to Al and Michele Pheipher
5. Platoon – Come on Chris was Vietnam, from naive to cynical, from, good too bad the tension and love hatred and despair. More complete then Full Metal
Horror
1. Shining -Heere’s Johnny Jack at his best and Scatman gets an ax in his chest.
2. Henry Portrait of a serial Killer – I really use this as a hand book
3. Nightmare on Elm Street – Horror with the funny
4. Friday the 13th – Sorry Mrs. Voorhees But your boy Jason became the big star, but don’t worry he kept your head in the fridge so he would not forget you every time he got a soda
5. Near Dark – Vampires who travel the west in a Winnebago and kill people including man child, Homer and Bill Paxton as Sevrin. This movie is what the Lost Boys wanted to be but did not have the balls
