Today ABC Family channel aired my favorite John Ritter movie "Stay Tuned." It was scheduled to air before his death. What is your favorite John Ritter movie?

Problem Child 1 & 2.

Unfortunatly they really don't show some of the films Ritter made in the 70's and early 80's while he was doing "Three's Company."

One I remember from that time was "Hero At Large.'

John played an actor who gets a job making appearances dressed up as a comic book superhero. When he foils a robbery at a store, he becomes a cult hero, and starts fighting crime as this superhero.
Considering the amount of superhero inspired films and TV shows there are today, I think it would be a great film to remake.

The only one I've ever seen is Problem Child. It wasn't bad. I prefer just watching Threes Company reruns over any of his other stuff.

Two others of note are "Noises Off," based on the play,
and "Real Men" with Jim Belushi.

"Skindeep", "Real Men", and "Dead Husband's" are my favorites.

I just remember this John Ritter movie from the late 70's early 80's when he played the president. It was a very good movie. Does anyone remember the name of that movie?
