74. Groundhog Day (1993)- Harold Ramis

Groundhog Day Trailer

What would you do if you could live the same day, over and over again without any repercussions for your actions? This is the basic premise of "Groundhog Day." Bill Murray plays Phil, an arrogant, cocky weatherman who has to go to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to cover a story on whether the "rat" will see his shadow. Throughout that day he wakes up to "I Got You Babe," eats at a diner, gets harassed by some nerd he went to high school with, runs into Nancy Taylor- yes, that happens, and tries to win over his coworker Rita (Andie MacDowell). Each day, Phil spends his time trying to perfect exactly what to say to Rita when he sees her, from learning French, to toasting to world peace, he knows exactly what is going to make her interested...because she told him when he lived this day yesterday. The movie is belly laugh funny, but of course- it is Bill Murray we're talking about here. The only thing is, if I spent over 70 days reliving the same day I don't think that I would spend it testing the waters as much as he does (driving his car off of a cliff, electrifying himself..etc). But either way, this movie never gets old. I still laugh every time he steps into the pool of water, or when he calls Rita's college major stupid. It's one of those American classic comedies that can at least always been seen once a year: Groundhog Day.

73. Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)- Steve Oedekerk

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist Trailer

So after weeks of my friend Kevin walking around our dorm saying "birdie, birdie, birdie...I am a great magician...your shirt is red," he finally convinced me to watch this absurd spoof on the Martial Arts Kung Fu genre. It is complete with some hamster nun chucks, ninja cows, a woman with a "uniboob" and a character only known as "The Chosen One" (even in the credits...seriously). It was purposely badly overdubbed to the point that it felt like the producers took a film, watched it without any sound, imagined the most ridiculous things that the characters might be saying- then used that as the dialogue. It plays on the stereotype that Asian women are submissive and hyper sexual, but in a non-offensive way. That's the thing about this movie, the only reason that anyone would be offended, is if they are a film student (like myself) and are bothered by the lack of story and idiotic slapstick comedy scenes that last just far too long. But, about midway through I realized that the film is actually a version of a found footage film, taking a famous kung fu movie from the 70s and green screening the main character into it, while still making it look seamless. It is actually pure genius, and even though the humor is stupid, really, really REALLY stupid...for some reason it works. I mean who doesn't love a "good" overdubbed, retro 70s kung fu Hollywood movie with a cow that defends itself by shooting milk out of its udders, a man with a face on his tongue, and a woman with a uniboob....it just doesn't get much better than the uniboob.

72. The Lucky One (2012)- Scott Hicks

The Lucky One Trailer

Seriously, Zac Effron? You could'nt have just stuck to the High School Musical franchise where at least everyone knew the movies were bad? This movie, obviously adapted from a Nicholas Sparks novel, was ridiculous. The actors seemed as if they were trying way too hard to be considered serious actors and it just came across goofy and awkward. Once again, the plot was completely predictable, almost in a comical way. A soldier walks across the country to thank a woman that he believes saved his life when he was at war. He then (obviously) falls in love with her, but she has a lot of baggage what with her psychotic ex-husband who just happens to be the sheriff's son...They get into a big fight when she finds out why the soldier is actually there, he storms off, then has a feeling and comes back to save the family. And then someone dies. Come on now. Can we not just have one surprise? Or plot twist that wasn't completely obvious? The only good part about the movie is that the two main characters were both attractive, but besides that my friend Rachael and I laughed out loud at seemingly inappropriate parts throughout the movie out of sheer awkwardness. I still think that if you are dying to watch a Nicholas Sparks movie, just watch the Notebook. 

71. The Muppets (2011) - James Bobin

The Muppets Trailer

What's not to love about the Muppets, especially in combination with the always loveable Amy Adams and sometimes loveable Jason Segal? The film introduces a new member to the Muppet community, Walter, who idolizes everything that the Muppets stand for: acceptance, unity and love. After seeing that the old Muppet studio in Los Angeles is completely run down and about to be taken over by an evil businessman, Walter decides to bring the gang back together to perform one last show. This gave the audience and opportunity to see what the Muppets have been doing for all of these years. Whether it is Miss Piggy working for French Vogue as the Anna Wintour-esque character, or seeing Animal in a rehabilitation facility (sponsored by Jack Black) for anger management issues, it was a really clever way to feel as if you have been clued in on their lives for the past number of years. The Muppets represent an eclectic group of creatures who all come together to answer the always relevant question, "why are there so many songs about rainbows?" This movie did not disappoint, and I believe it even rivals the original 1979 classic. Yes, the song and dance numbers are overly cheesy, and reminiscent of a 40s MGM classic musical, where the townspeople come together off of the streets to question whether Jason Segal is a man, or a Muppet of a man, but that all adds to the charm. While the market of the movie is obviously geared towards children, there are so many small quirky satirical references that make it just as entertaining for adults as it is for children.
