Planes, Trains and Automobiles-1987
Neal Page (Steve Martin-The Jerk, Three Amigos, The Man with Two Brains, Dead Men Wear Plaid) is pitching a sales job and when finished must travel home for the holidays. He plans his flight for right after the meeting and hopes to make it in time. Unfortunately, NY traffic totally bites.Del Griffith (John Candy-Summer Rental, Volunteers, Uncle Buck) is also in NY and must travel back to Chicago.
There are no two people polar opposites than these. The well gathered, conservative, traditional Page is no match for the slovenly, happy go lucky Griffith. It seems no matter what happens, their luck keeps getting worse.
Follow the fun as they live adventure by adventure while trying to beat the clock. Thanksgiving is getting closer, but can these two strangers become friends in spite of sabotaging their chances of getting home?
Watch the fights, the fires, the theft, the creative travel, and especially deer in a very hilarious story.
Great quotes include:
Neal: Del... Why did you kiss my ear?
Del: Why are you holding my hand?
Neal:Where's your other hand?
Del: Between two pillows...
Neal: Those aren't pillows!
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a great adventure and totally gnarly John Hughes movie. It's almost fit for the entire family except for the 5 minute F-Bomb exchange at the car rental counter.

Firewalker-1986
Max Donigan (Chuck Norris-Delta Force) and Leo Porter (Louis Gossett, Jr.-An Officer and a Gentleman) are up to their necks in adventure. The first scene has them chased through some desert by a post apocalyptic looking group of rag bags led by a highly antagonized, totally gnarly badman.
They are adventure hunters and fortune seekers and no challenge is too big. If the going gets rough, they pump each other up with man cheers and take care of business with bitchin fire fights and some martial arts. They meet Patricia Goodwin (Melody Anderson-Flash Gordon) who tells them about a totally rad multi-cultural Egyptian, Apache, Aztec, Manyan treasure of gold. The adventure with sounds too risky for the duo, but after a bar fight and some macho talk, they take on the task.
Follow them through back roads, trails, volcanoes, quicksand, bad guys and swamps of South America in their quest for gold.

Beach Balls
In Beach Balls, Charlie Harrison wants the girl, Wendy. He's wanted her for years, which he reminds himself of every new beach season. The girl doesn't notice him in the way he wants. It's totally bogus cause she just wants to be friends. She's really hot for guys in rock bands.Charlie has a few strikes against him.
1.He plays music, but he's not in the band.
2. His mom has a strict no rock and roll policy. Yes folks, she's like ultra religious.
3. Two crooks and their trashy girlfriend keep making trouble for him.
4. Wendy's brother wants to beat him up.
So, how does Charlie get the girl? If he does, how? What magic formula will he use to gain instant rock status? Well, the formula is there, it's called an 80's movie.
Best line ever:
"I just want to be friends," says Wendy
"I can't believe you just said the F word," answers Charlie, right after the revelation.
Beach Balls is full of unknown 80's synth movie music. The band plays soft core rock versions of songs you might hear from Poison or Motley Crew.
Beach Balls is rate R for...I'm totally not sure why.
