There haven't been many better sci-fi films ever made than "E.T." and "Blade Runner".  "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" is without a doubt one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, and who can ever forget the Phoebe Cates pool scene!  "48 Hrs" could be the best buddy film ever made, it's action packed and hilarious to boot.  I loved "First Blood", it's easily one of Stallone's best films.  "An Officer and a Gentleman" is one of those rare films that appeals to everyone and Richard Gere is terrific in it.  Robert DeNiro as Rupert Pupkin in "The King of Comedy" is one of my all time favorite movies characters and has Jerry Lewis really been in anything better?  Dustin Hoffman in drag is a real trip in "Tootsie".  Mel Gibson had me wanting to become a foreign correspondence after "The Year of Living Dangerously", and Linda Hunt was unforgettable.   This list wouldn't be complete with the addition of "Gandhi", it's a terrific story about amazing man and Ben Kingsley rightfully won an Oscar for it.
