As the resident Ja606 film buff i'd like to point out that

1) In Cocktail it wasn't Elizabeth Shue that copped off with the Aussie Bloke (Bryan Brown), it was Gina Gershon. In Cocktail Tom Cruises character copped off with some rich woman but he later reconciled with Shue and they lived happily ever after.
Incidentally, she has a brother called Andrew Shue and he was actually very good at football.

2) She was in the excellent Adventures of Babysitting which remains one of my favourite movies.

_____________________

Rob, I've probably got everyone's dvd collection, considering I have around 2000 films (maybe more - I've never counted). Hundreds of them are on bluray though and I backed up everything onto hard drives in order to save space (and to facilitate browsing, etc).

I think I've probably got every film mentioned by everyone on this thread - even the crap ones!

Blade Runner

Misty

You get instant respect if you've seen these classics..

1) Miracle Mile (voted most unseen classic ever)
2) After Hours
3) Say Anything
4) Can't buy me love
5) Soul Man
