[100 Things] My DVD Collection: Overboard & Crocodile Dundee

[ultra_fic]

 

Ah, the 80s. It had some dumb and yet awesome movies, and here are two examples!

There is no way a journalist goes to Australia, meets a seemingly crazy bushman, brings him back to the US, and marries him. Equally as nutty is a rich woman falling off a boat and getting amnesia, only to be taken in by her carpenter, looking for revenge on the rich bitch, only for the two of them to fall in love, regardless of her memory coming back!

The truth is that it really doesn't matter of the plotlines are stretched beyond the limits of reality, these movies are hilarious and sweet and brilliant in their own ways. Whether its Paul Hogan as Mick Dundee scaring the life out of Linda Kozlowski's Sue, or Kurt Russell as Dean Profitt making Goldie Hawn's fancy Joanna Staton believe she's his down-trodden wife, its all just wonderfully done, and sooo funny, even though it probably shouldn't be! lol

Two 80s staples - you gotta love 'em! :)

Oh look, silly movies, lol. Yep, I know both of them. Ah, Crocodile Dundee was never one of my favorites, it's a funny movie but somehow it never managed to get the wow-factor for me. Overboard on the other hand I have to admit to having watched more than once. And yes, they're both so silly they're actually a whole lot of fun!

I kinda love Crocodile Dundee, and the sequel wasn't half bad either... in fact sometimes I think I like it better than the original, but the 3rd one? Not so much.

Overboard is soooo much funnier than it should be! lol
