Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is the Summit.


My Blue Heaven is just under the summit.


Even though it's a smaller part, Little Shop of Horrors is the last campsite before the summit.

Bowfinger is next.

Roxanne is a very underrated walk up to the campsite.

Three Amigos is the first campsite.

The Jerk is the plane ride to Kathmandu.

bullshite.


He was the number one selling standup comedian for years.


Some of my favortie bits of all time are his.


"I just got back from doing a tour in France. A little tip for those of you who have never been there: Fromage means cheese, and chapeau means hat. Those darn French: they have a different word for every thing over there."



ETA: and then there's this quote I love:

What is a movie star? A movie star is many things. They can be tall, short, thin, or skinny. They can be Democrats... or skinny.

Not Rushmore quality but I’ve got to throw some love to The Man with Two Brains.

I ranked them thinking of not only the cultural impact of the film but his impact in the film...or role.

The Jerk is his opus because it's all him and the supporting roles are just sort of living in his world.

Roxanne is also all him...as he plays Cyrano De Bergerac, Hannah is a wallflower.

While I love Planes, trains...it's mostly a Candy vehicle.

And while he shares the spotlight with Caine in Scoundrels, it's mostly all him for the comedy in learning to be a conman...I mean Ruprecht, that's Jerk level.
