Gotta pick Down & Out in Beverly Hills since it's the only one I've seen.

Stella got lukewarm reviews but I've seen it a bunch of times and it's one of my favorites.

Ruthless People is my favorite Bette Midler movie. I love that movie & it had a great cast too such as Judge Reinhold, Helen Slater, Danny Devito, Art Evans, Bill Pullman. I also like Outrageous Fortune, Down & Out In Beverly Hills, Beaches.

My favorites are: Beaches, Hocus Pocus, Stella, The First Wives Club, That Old Feeling, and Big Business.

Ruthless People was great. She's a crack up in the abduction scene!

Hocus Pocus

loved it when I was little - she and Sarah Jessica Parker and a very young Thora Birch. Love Big Business and That Old Feeling too though

Drowning Mona is my least favorite - icky, icky movie.

lol, I can see why it would be. I don't think it's that great at all, but I think she is so hilarious as Mona though...

Beaches....

Ruthless People is my favourite- it's hilarious when they phone sam with the burgers on the frying pan.

Followed by Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Hocus Pocus and the First Wives Club

I also thought Beaches was great- but I can't remember Outrageous Fortune that well.

Does anyone know if there'll be a Bette Midler boxset- they should have a comedy set and a drama set of dvd's- it'd be great. Bette Midler's definitely a funny lady- and I'll definitely go see her in The Stepford Wives.

Big Business
Outrageous Fortune

Yeah Ruthless People is a awesome movie. It was so funny. Judge Reinhold is a funny guy. I liked him in the first 2 Beverly Hills Cop movies too a lot. Ruthless People soundtrack is good too. I like Luther Vandross's Give Me The Reason song & Billy Joel's Modern Woman song on the soundtrack. I like how Bette Midler was exercising in the basement where they were holding her hostage. She lost all that weight workin out. My mom loves that part when she's exercising.
