  5. Bicentennial Man (Robin Williams, 1999)

Based on a short story by sci-fi great Isaac Asimov, it was done in by its own studio’s poor marketing, which made it sound like just one more screwball comedy.

    .
    Replacing my original submission (#5 – Bicentennial Man) with another Robin Williams film that fits the category even better…
    The new #5 – The Big White – also starred Holly Hunter, Woody Harrelson, and Giovanni Ribisi. It got a very limited theatrical release, and went pretty much direct-to-video … I know, because the video company I worked with at that time (Echo Bridge Home Entertainment) had the release rights.

  9. The Frisco Kid (Gene Wilder, 1979)
  10. Breezy (William Holden, 1973)

Classified as a “romantic drama,” Breezy is … well, something that is more than just that. A fish out of water story? A May-December love story? A clash of the generations story? Who knows, but all descriptions fit. Regardless, I’ve loved this movie since it came out, and wish I had it on DVD. Best I can do is to wait until it comes around again on TCM.

Oh, and pass.

Was tempted to do Mark Wahlberg (recently learned that he and the now-forgotten “Marky Mark” are one and the same), but that would be low-hanging fruit what with his extensive filmography.
