Did anyone else enjoy (or even see) THE BURBS?

Mind you, "The Burbs" is one of those forgotten 80's Tom Hanks behicles, but I love it. It's about an eccentric cadre of neighbors who suspect the new arrivals are, in fact, killers.

I laughed my ass off when Bruce Dern's character, an arms dealer, fell off the roof with his rifle in tow.

1. I liked it

[xmas74]

2. I remember it but not very well.

I did alot of drugs when that movie came out so I don't remember too much of the late 80's through the mid 90's.

3. Dern made that movie!

And Henry Gibson.

5. Dern's movie 'wife' didn't hurt ratings either...

6. On the right...

7. Ha! Corey Feldman.

He was great in "Greg the Bunny".

Feldman: "Aren't you that rabbit? I thought you were a puppet."

Greg: "Aren't you Corey Feldman? I thought you were in rehab."

Apparently, this play is brilliant.

12. That looks hysterical!

Thanks. Now, how can I manage a road trip to NYC before it closes?
And how did I forget about Stand by Me and Gremlins?

4. I survived it without too much mental anguish

[MissMarple]

10. Yup, one's worst fears could be proved true. Oh, darn.

13. The best scene in that movie

has got to be the close-up of the dog's face when Hans Klopek is standing on his porch.

Best line: "I've never seen someone drive their garbage down to the end of the street and then bang the hell out of it with a stick. I've never seen that."


Classic film. Seen it literally hundreds of times.
