That's a good one. And I don't normally like kids in movies, but those little shits are hilarious.
Another forgotten Kurt Russell movie from the 80s that I absolutely love is The Best of Times. Robin Williams plays the loser who dropped what would have been the winning pass (from Russell) in the biggest game of his life, never got over it, and then sets out to rewrite history. Russell is a great straight man to Williams' lunacy.
Some other comedies from the 80s:
The Man With Two Brains. My second favorite Steve Martin movie after Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Over the top goofy and silly, plus a smoking hot young Kathleen Turner.
Ruthless People. One of my favorite comedies ever. If you like your laughs with a vicious edge to them, this movie is for you. Danny DeVito absolutely slays.
The Man With One Red Shoe. Forgotten early Tom Hanks movie that seemed to get bashed by everybody, including Hanks, but I thought it was great. Wonderful supporting cast, including Footloose's gorgeous Lori Singer and a scenery chewing Dabney Coleman as the bad guy.
