    Choosing his best movie is tough, but choosing his worst is just as tough.

    I don't doubt that those movies are bad, but I haven't seen either of them. At least his bad movies are so awful that any reasonable person knows not to even watch them.

    Choosing between Raw, Coming to America, Trading Places, and Beverly Hills Cop is nearly impossible for me. Boomerang isn't far behind those, either.

    [puts elbow on table
    Rapidly dusts off crumbs from index and thumb
    Looks skeptically at Girard
    Sucks through teeth as if to clean food and asks Girard:]
    "Just friends, huh? :eek: "

    ^ FUNNIEST LINE EVER... and the way he precedes it with his gestures is just pure genius.

    Sounds great in ITALIAN:
    <object width="480" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HBGOJ_y_Z_0?start=42"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HBGOJ_y_Z_0?start=42" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
    ":confused: Solo amici, eh?" :grin:

    Yes, very good movie and one of my favorites. It tends to be one of Murphy's underrated movies too because it came right after he had hit his peak.

    But see you can't stop there.

    What you got, a mushroom ring?

    No.....that's a good idea!...Check this out!

    Witherspoon was excellent in that role.

    :grin::grin:
