Hello, how are you? It's that time of year again where we discuss our favorite (least favorite?) Steve Martin films. Many of you find the dialog uncomfortable but I, for one, think its necessary. By the end of the day I would like to have a general agreement so we can put this past us for another year.
-
the jerk is my favorite by a landslide, one of my fav movies of all time.
-
Parenthood. Hillary duff. :love:
-
Three Amigos. The supporting cast really takes it over the top for me, compared to the others on this list.
-
I was down to FOTB and PTAA and went with PTAA.
-
i voted for FotB but i regret it now

El Guapo stole that show.

A few days ago I quoted El Guapo on this here blog. :D

I recently got a google fiber service person to call me El Guapo in a chat
-
I'm not a big SM fan... Voted for PTaA because of Candy.
-
no cheaper by the dozen? :buh-bye:

yeah, pretty terrible omission. I mean he's a college football coach for chrisssake.
-
Parenthood. Hillary duff. :love:
Crap. I mixed this up with cheaper by the dozen. I want my vote back. :buh-bye:
-
The Jerk and Planes, Trains and Automobiles :love:
PTAA it is. John Candy is phenomenal.
-
concerned about the lack of respect Three Amigos is receiving.
-
No FotB pt II?
Mr. BAHHNKS! Mr. BAHHNKS!
:ROFL:
-
Fun fact: Steve Martin was born in Waco, Texas.
:party:
-
Tough call but ultimately I went with The Jerk.
-
I don't like Steve Martin. I think he taints every scene he appears in. 3 Amigos, great movie but ruined by Martin.
Smug. Arrogant. Crass. Crumengeony. Elitist mentality. I bet he'd be a KU fan if he actually watched Sports.
-
I'd be president of the Anti-Steve Martin fan club.
-
He's probably pro-Environment to the media, but drives a gas guzzling Range Rover.
-
The Jerk? Fantastic script, but ruined by Martin.
-
If I saw Martin in Whole Foods I'd probably tell him he's not as good as he thinks he is.
-
The Jerk and Planes, Trains and Automobiles :love:
PTAA it is. John Candy is phenomenal.
I planned on posting this exact same thought.
PTAA for me.
-
Bowfinger is wildly underrrated.
But I like PTAA the best.
-
THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS duh
WOULD YOU READ THAT BACK TO ME? I'M AFRAID THAT MIGHT MAKE ME SOUND POMPOUS TO YOUR READERS.
UH, "MY BRILLIANT RESEARCH IN BRAIN TRANSPLANTATION IS UNSURPASSED AND WILL PROBABLY MAKE MY NAME
LIVE BEYOND ETERNITY."
NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT. TAKE OUT THE "PROBABLY." IT MAKES ME SOUND WISHY-WASHY.

If I saw Martin in Whole Foods I'd probably tell him the bluegrass band he plays with is very talented. And the Strawberry Jam from this place is tasty.

Also forgot My Blue Heaven.
PTaA is awesome, but Jerk wins this because it was before anyone knew he could act and he was awesome.

Curmudgeonly. I'm becoming fluent in fanning.
-
The Jerk. I am guessing people who are saying the names of other Steve Martin movies haven't seen the Jerk.
Here is a more interesting question: Favorite Steve Martin book? My answer is The Pleasure of My Company. They are all pretty good though. Except Cruel Shoes, obviously.

Went with the Jerk. It was close between that and Three Amigos, but I just think that Three Amigos is more an ensemble movie and The Jerk is more a Steve Martin movie

This is the correct answer. I like Amigos better, but The Jerk is Steve Martin's best movie.

He was probably trying to invent the Opti Grab before Steve Martin stole the idea from him.

Did not read the thread but anyone that answered anything other than The Jerk is wrong.

I really, really like DSR. I always walk away from it feeling great. Automatically puts me in a good mood. Ends on such a fun high note.

I've never heard of, much less seen, any of these. How old are you guys?

Yes, I love this movie, too. When he is getting his legs beat to hell and he is wincing in pain, I almost shed a tear for him while I am laughing.
