Trading Places is one of those movies you will stick on if you come across it channel surfing.

Vic Sage Nov 03 2008 07:55 AM

especially if you catch it on cable, uncut, before Jamie Lee takes her shirt off. TP gets the shwiiiing vote

General Beringer implores you to vote for WarGames with his quote collection: They're full of shit. We know they're down there. We'll blow their ass out of the water. After careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks. Just unplug the goddamn thing! Jesus Christ! Goddammit, I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it'd do any good! Gentlemen, I wouldn't trust this overgrown pile of microchips any further than I can throw it.

WarGames bested my choice last round, but I vote for it now. Along with Romancing the Stone, it is one of two films in the running that commisioned a title song that I think didn't make it into the final cut of the movie. Romancing at least worked eight instrumental bars into it.

Trading Places makes me laugh, I voted for it.

Murphy and Akroyd, two of my favorite SNL alumni ever, may have set a record for bad movies made in their post-TV careers. TP was one of the exceptions.

Did anyone think at Murphy's peak in the early-to-mid 80's when he was known for R-rated raunchiness that he would be almost exclusively appearing in children's films starting around 1995?

Do you want to play a game?

Forbin's "Colossus" computer could kick this computer's ass. So could HAL, i bet.

I voted for War Games, but Jamie Lee taking her clothes off was a strong attraction. Best for this, though, is Love Letters.

Trading Places with its second straight upset, according to the seedings anyway. 17-11 is the final.
