Thankyou for reminding me of how good they were, true legends of comedy. 2 others I haven't seen mention were Dom Deluise and Robin Williams. Bothe were masters of the improve.
 
Joe v Volcano was an underrated comedy, and doesnt get mentioned these days as often as it should amongst the other good films that Hanks did in the 80s and 90s.

Speaking of, I just found out today that they are doing a TV show reboot of Turner & Hooch

Oh.. a whole lot of National Lampoons movies are just my type of thing. Sadly I think those type of comedies might be going away.
There's a documentary about National Lampoons on Netflix that I really liked called A Futile and Stupid Gesture.

Please let me know of anything I missed you think I should check out. Sometimes I feel I've already seen everything good.
