I especially like the original Rocky. :box:
Reporter: "Rocky, do you have anything derogatory to say about Apollo?"
Rocky: "Yeah. He's great."

Here are two great ones - the hilarious "What About Bob" and the enlightening "Ground Hog Day," both starring Bill Murray.
In the first, Bill plays one heck of a pesky mental patient against the ever great, Richard Dreyfuss' psychiatrist.
In the latter, Bill plays a guy who keeps waking up to find he is starting the same day all over again.
Oh, and Midnight Run, starring Charles Grodin and Robert DeNiro.
Grodin plays an accountant on the lam from Mob boss, the late great Dennis Farina. The same Mob boss who ruined former cop turned Bounty Hunter, DeNiro's career as a cop. Grodin's funny man to DeNiro's serious street cop is a riot.
Hilarious movies from start to finish.

Two really great Mob movies (and without violence - who've thought that was possible) are Dinner Rush starring Danny Aiello, and Things Change, starring William H. Macey, Joe Montegna, and the ever superb, Don Amiche.
Both have very surprising endings.

Billy Ray Valentine: "Okay, pork belly prices have been dropping all morning, which means that everybody is waiting for it to hit rock bottom, so they can buy low. Which means that the people who own the pork belly contracts are saying, 'Hey, we're losing all our damn money, and Christmas is around the corner, and I ain't gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip! And my wife ain't gonna... my wife ain't gonna make love to me if I got no money!' So they're panicking right now, they're screaming 'SELL! SELL!' to get out before the price keeps dropping. They're panicking out there right now, I can feel it."
Louis: "Looking good, Billy Ray!"
Billy Ray: "Feeling good, Louis!"

You missed more than a Genre or two - Buddy movies - like 48 Hours (Murphy/Nolte), Spy flicks like Bond, Bourne, etc.
Biographies and Docudramas and others.
And of course, crime of crimes; you left out Martial Arts classics like Five Fingers of Death; and Kung Fu Hustle.
All forgivable- but to leave out Fist of Fury (Bruce Lee) now that I cannot overlook, lol
No one, not even DeNiro at his best, has been able to capture express the all out fury of a hurrican in a human being like the late Bruce Lee!
Man o man, that movie's last fight scene; that rage that comes pouring out of him as he does that bad guy in - sheer poetry...r.i.p. Bruce...

This movie likely introduced the short sale to common public.
I thought it was when "god"rulz and Tellalie joined TOL.
