Better off Dead was one of the funnier cheese films of the mid 1980s. I still watch that movie from time to time. I haven't seen Teen Wolf in over a decade.
Not even close. Better Off Dead by a landslide. Both are outdated 80's flicks, but Better Off Dead has John Cusack.
Please don't make me go Sophie's Choice here. I watched Teen Wolf last night on AMC. Rockets were pissing me off!!!
Me too. I was switching back and forth. We could have used Wolf last night. Or maybe RA could have said something like this in the huddle: There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.
among my favorite lines from a movie. i used to quote it at every opportunity...i'd kill to get it on record in court or in a deposition.
See, until I read the three rules quote, which is obviously great, i never had teen wolf as a top tier movie. Not like better off dead, which might be #1. But maybe i missed it. I am a huge Michael J guy, but I dont know about Teen Wolf in that category. The one that i dont think is top tier, but is maybe underrated in terms of lasting quotes, is Weird Science. I love the part where the mom is saying "your son.... GARY" to the dad who has amnesia. And the bar scene, of course, with Anthony Michael Hall.
Better Off Dead kicks Teen Wolf in the nuts worse than the Jazz are whooping on my ROX so far this series.
Teenwolf vs Better Off Dead: basketball > skiing the K-12 Styles > Booger's character Francis from PeeWee > Dennis from Head of the Class Boof < French foreign exchange student from Last American Virgin Surfing on a van > Racing the Japanese Howard Cosell Teenwolf sniffing out Styles' stash > Booger trying to sniff whipped cream Teenwolf 5, BOD 1
Coach Finstock was one of the funniest characters in the movie. Some more gems: - Look Scotty, I know what you're going through. Couple years back, a kid came to me much the same way you're coming to me now, saying the same thing that you're saying. He wanted to drop off the team. His mother was a widow, all crippled up. She was scrubbing floors. She had this pin in her hip. So he wanted to drop basketball and get a job. Now these were poor people with real problems. Understand what I'm saying? - What happened to the kid? - I don't know. He quit. He was a third stringer, I didn't need him. It doesn't matter how you play the game, it's whether you win or lose. And even that doesn't make all that much difference.
I can't believe that Teen Wolf isn't winning this one. Michael J. Fox was the man! John Cusack was a different tier. Good enough to anchor his own movies, but not enough to draw like MJF.
I can't believe you're dissing Cusack. John Cusack is an icon with a solid body of movies for decades. Better off Dead, Say Anything, The Sure Thing, Grosse Point Blank, High Fidelity (Top 5 movie all time) to name a few. I will almost always take a look at a film if Cusack is in it. I like Michael J. Fox, but other than Back to the Future and debatedly Family Ties and Spin City, he really hasn't done anything memorable.
