Maybe it was because I didn't see Porky's until I was well into adulthood and maybe because it was built up to me too much by childhood friends who did see it when it came out...but when I finally saw it, I didn't laugh once. It's not even that it's too low brow as I love low brow
It was probably this.
I remember seeing it on HBO probably '85 or '86 or so and I was about fourteen or fifteen and it was hysterical. I can still watch it now and laugh my azz off.
1993 would to be my personal favorite. Ignoring most major blockbusters, I would be content playing this list on a loop indefinitely.
Whats Eating Gilbert Grape? True Romance (my all time favorite) Cool Runnings The Sandlot Groundhog Day Army of Darkness Tombstone Dazed and Confused Grumpy Old Men Last Action Hero Wayne's World 2

I always think of 80 as being the unreal year. Raging Bull is just an all-time great, and combine that with the best Star Wars flick-you just can't beat that.
Sure, there were lots of dated sci-fi's and juvenile comedies in the other year's mentioned, but for those seeking out the truly special, the one unbelieveable year that stands out, and mostly hold up to this day, is 1967!

That is a fine set of movies to be sure and dang straight on the last one!

Sidney Poitier had a hell of a year in 1967! Wait Until Dark is a vastly underrated movie IMHO... it has more suspense and tension than any 10 recent thrillers combined. Great list

And... just to keep this thread comic book-centric... 1967 also saw the release (in the Phillipines anyway) of Batman Vs. Dracula!
