The Goonies 9. 15 Minutes 10. Michael Dorsey is a talented stage actor who just can't find work. To earn it, he decides to take a chance and ends up playing the role of a lifetime. Despite nearing its 20th anniversary, Tootsie remains one of the funniest comedies made in the past few decades, and perhaps of all time. What ultimately sets the film apart, even from other good comedies of the 80's is that all of the characters are written so sharp, smart and realistic.
Most comedies tend to be populated merely with funny caricatures who say funny things.
It is already the No. 2 comedy of all time on the AFI Top 100 list, and if you somehow haven't seen it yet, stop reading right now and race on over to our video store. This is a true modern classic. That's not to say that this is reference quality, just that knowing how the film has always looked in the past, I wasn't expecting miracles here. Fleshtones appear natural and detail is generally strong, though the print still has a slightly dated appearance that lacks depth. Fine film grain can be seen at times, but the print is really quite clean and free of defects.
