    Midnight Run is clever and funny with good action. Teen Wolf is retarded. But that's how these contests go.

    I have to admit I voted for Teen Wolf out of purely personal feelings of nostalgia.
    I will never claim its a cinematic triumph or anything.
    Its just a movie I like and have liked for
    (jfc Im old)
    decades.

    Ha! No need to defend your vote just b/c some schmuck on the Internet (me) has a different opinion. I myself have voted for marginal (or perhaps even crappy) movies purely out of nostalgia and the fact that I watched them "just at the right time" of my life.

    It's funny but I've always liked Michael J. Fox as a person but I can't point to any one of his films and say OMG I loved that movie. I know people adore the Future franchise but it's just never been for me for some reason. I think my favorite thing he ever did was Family Ties.

    I also liked the Frighteners and The Secret of my success. I also seem to recall liking Doc Hollywood.

    Yeah I did like The Frighteners, forgot about that one and it's not that I outright hate any of his films I just don't find myself wanting to revisit them. I would watch The Frighteners again though....
