      "Tropic Thunder" was a lot of fun...especially Tom Cruise was gold in it. Kudos for that. It's also nice to see "Get Shorty"....brillant movie. And my personal number one of this list: "Bowfinger"! Absolutely hilarious. The Ending with "Fake Purse Ninjas" is worth the money alone....what a great movie!

      I may have missed seeing it on the list, but 'Overnight' is hilarious... as Lincoln once said "Better to keep you mouth closed and thought of as a fool, then to open it and remove all doubt".

      The lead in Peeping Tom is called Karlheinz Böhm, not Carl Boehm.
