TPSG Top 10 Movies of 1988

Continuing with my look at the best movies of years gone by.

Top 10 Movies of 1988:
  1. Rain Man - Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise
  2. Die Hard - Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman
  3. Bull Durham - Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon
  4. Big - Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins
  5. The Last Temptation of Christ - Willem Dafoe, Harvey Keitel
  6. The Naked Gun - Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley
  7. A Fish Called Wanda - John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis
  8. Midnight Run - Robert DeNiro, Charles Grodin
  9. Colors - Robert Duvall, Sean Penn, Robert Duvall
  10. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Steve Martin, Michael Caine
Dustin Hoffman was phenomenal in "Rain Man", his Best Actor Oscar was well deserved.   As is typical, the original "Die Hard" was easily the best in the "Die Hard" series.   "Bull Durham" is my all time favorite baseball movie.  I absolutely loved watching Tom Hanks play a child in a man's body in "Big", it was so much fun!  Would you really want anyone other than Martin Scorsese to make "The Last Temptation of Christ" movie?  Some people maybe I guess, not me though.  Leslie Nielson as Frank Drebin in "The Naked Gun" has to go down as one of the funniest characters in film history.  Outside of the Monty Python series, "A Fish Called Wanda" is probably my favorite John Cleese film.  "Midnight Run" is a fun road film, the chemistry between DeNiro & Grodin was great. "Colors" brought to life the brutality that is South Central Los Angeles.   "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is a very underrated comedy, watching Martin & Caine scheme against each other is great fun!
