**The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 7th (and 6th) Dimension** were great, but **The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 5th Dimension** ; the guys meet Marilyn McCoo? **The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 4th Dimension** just dragged on and on and on … **The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 3rd Dimension - The Road Tour** ; good music, no action. **The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 2nd (and 1st) Dimension** fell flat. **The Ordinary Life of Walter Mitty** **My Ordering Dinner with Andre** **What’s Old Pussycat?** **12 Smoldering Men** **Ice Station Yankee** , **Ice Station X-Ray** , **Ice Station…** oh, you get the idea. ---
