Crocodile Dundee 1986
For some reason I expected Crocodile Dundee to be much more of a straight-up laugh riot. Rather, it's a quaint little fish-out-of-water story turned romantic comedy.

One such film was The Ladykillers, but thanks to my own stubborn obedience to my role as a completist, I'm happy to say that I was quite pleased with this movie. The situations are ridiculous, the characters are cartoonish, and the entire charade could be best described as "tongue in cheek", but if you're…
