Favorite Steve Martin Film
« on: January 17, 2014, 10:33:38 AM »
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.

Three Amigos.  The supporting cast really takes it over the top for me, compared to the others on this list.

concerned about the lack of respect Three Amigos is receiving.

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.

He's probably pro-Environment to the media, but drives a gas guzzling Range Rover.

If I saw Martin in Whole Foods I'd probably tell him he's not as good as he thinks he is.
