Strictly for the fun of it.
1. BeetleJuice (Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Michael
Keaton & more) A Tim Burton film with all that it implies,
but Keaton steals the show.
2. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
(Michael Caine and Steve Martin)
3. A Fish Called Wanda (John Cleese,
Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Palin)
4. Zelig (Woody Allen)
