If you ask me which is the best film I've seen for politics, my answer is The Candidate. What's brilliant about it, which feels like a documentary, is nothing has changed. In fact, it's the bona fide blueprint of how to run a successful political campaign. Hence, I won't be surprised if The Candidate is the standard reference guide for many fledgling politicians.

Fletch is a classic Chevy Chase picture. It's subtle and witty, making me laugh unexpectedly. Chevy Chase has a deadpan way of getting the little things go through with success. What works largely in his favor is whenever he assumes a disguise and/or a different name which is fourteen in total.

Diggstown is the ultimate con picture with everybody conning each other. The cast is great: James Woods, Louis Gossett, Jr., Bruce Dern, and Oliver Platt. It's a small-time picture, and nobody stands out the most. There's a good flow in the pace with plenty of twists and turns.

Before there was The Sandlot, there was The Bad News Bears. For the most part, it's a funny picture, thanks to Walter Matthau. He was a talented comedian who had a knack for delivering the goods with a deadpan look. Tatum O'Neal, the youngest Oscar winner daughter of Ryan O'Neal, gives the best performance and is able to match Walter Matthau line for line throughout the film.

If you hate Michael Caine for selling himself out to appear in Jaws: The Revenge, you'll like him more for taking the chance on The Island. Based on author Peter Benchley's eponymous novel, the film starts off well with many witty lines. Then, about a half hour into it, things begin to change for the worse. At the same time, the beautiful water photography around the islands of Antigua and Abaco can be enjoyed.

One year after the British theatrically-released Get Carter, America's answer to it was Prime Cut. Instead of Michael Caine going to Newcastle, it's tough guy Lee Marvin who takes on tough guy Gene Hackman in the underworld of narcotics and prostitution that's behind the façade of a giant meat company. Amidst this, there's a lot of weird stuff happening like the guy named Mary Ann, the beef-laden dialogue, the drugged-up girls who are auctioned off like cattle, and the army of blue-eyed, blond-haired Kansas boys in overalls with long rifles.

It appears that Downhill Racer has foretold the story of Bill Johnson. If you aren't familiar with the name, he came out of nowhere to be the first American male to win the gold medal in alpine skiing at the 1984 Olympic Winter Games in Sarajevo. This is a significant accomplishment because it's traditionally an European sport. No American male had ever medaled prior to Bill Johnson, and since then, only three more have.
