No. 15- The Burbs






Film: The Burbs

Starring: Tom Hanks, Rick Ducommun

Directed by: Joe Dante

Released: 1989


I first saw this movie...
Childhood

Why I love it...
I've had many people tell me they didn't like this until they watched it with me.Why? What is it about this movie that maybe the casual or first time observer wouldn't appreciate? Not really sure. I mean you've got Tommy Hanks at his best- the comical, ridiculous Hanks that I've missed these last several years. You've got Rick Ducommun, one of the least appreciated comedic actors of the 80s and 90s. And you've got a hilarious, outlandish storyline that fits right in your community. There's just something about a film that doesn't take itself too seriously.
