"Easy Money" is Rodney Dangerfield's unsung classic, one of his funniest movies, plus several other good actors came out of it. And I got to see part of it being filmed as a kid on Staten Island. "Midnight Run" is a great buddy/road picture like Hope/Crosby's "Road..." pictures & "Planes, Trains & Automobiles." Isn't the "The Three Stooges in Orbit" the one where they escape the Martians by jumping off the edge of the world? It's been a long time & I might have it mixed up with "Have Rocket, Will Travel." Hey ffl, which "Easy Money" scene(s) were you able to see being filmed? It would be great to have seen that. Joe Pesce is classic in that movie too. The Three Stooges in Orbit is the one where there are Martians trying to steal a spaceship invention so they can conquer the world - typical 1960's Stooges stuff! Also, I loved that beach ball style alien in "Dark Star". http://www.samgambino.com [ Edited by: Sam Gambino on 2004-10-13 14:51 ]
