I re-watched 19 on this list, including the only 1 I saw in a theatre. Tramps was a pleasant surprise. Sextuplets was only outdone by The Do Over in awfulness. Coming to America didn't hold up very well. The Day After Tomorrow gets me every time. If Netflix is listening, they could really use more sports movies.
