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.


I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps, etc.

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.

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.
:D :confused:

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.

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.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

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