Oh, #11, I can hear the opening music now - "wooly bully!" (If you know, you know!) A romance between a human and a mermaid, a cast with Tom Hanks, Darryl Hannah, and Eugene Levy, Chicago in the 80s, what more could you want? This classic rom-com still holds water today!

The Money Pit (1986)​

At #20, for those old-school Tom Hanks fans, we have 'The Money Pit.' He plays the part of a young, madly in love newlywed, married to actress Shelley Long. They buy their dream mansion and decide they will fix it up with laughable results.
