"The Burbs" is such an underrated movie

Such a great movie. It had success in teh box office but it never really gets talked about, most likely because it was sandwiched between "BIG" and "Turner and Hooch" . more of a cult classic though

Great cast though

Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, Rick, Duccomun, Henry Gibson, Brother Theodore, and Corey Feldman(his last real big hit)

To me this is one of those movies you just put on and sit and relax too, I know Tom Hanks has said some good things about it.

I feel like it's a perfect movie, and Bruce Dern is for sure the star of the movie, every scene of his is a must see

 

"I wanna kill,
everyone.
Satan is great.
Satan is our pal...."

 

A very underrated movie for sure. Honestly, I think it's my favorite Tom Hanks movie.

If you are a die-hard fan of this movie, the workprint is a must see. It was released in the UK as a bonus on the Blu-ray a few years ago.

 

I never saw this until the Blu-ray a while back and figured I'd enjoy it - I like Hanks and I like Dante.

I didn't enjoy it!

The 'Burbs: Collector's Edition [Blu-Ray] (1992)

 

Loved it in the theater in '92, loved the-then Best Buy exclusive BD in 2016.

 

My brother watched this endlessly when he was a kid. Since I was still living at home and sharing a room with him, I saw it way more than I ever wanted to, so I can't have an objective opinion about this movie. I'll ask my brother and see if he'd like to make a statement.

 

I love this movie.! It was always on cable back in the day, and I watched it repeatedly. I haven’t seen it since early 90s. I may have to revisit it.

House blows up.
“Man, that Ricky sure knows how to throw a party.”

 

I agree. It’s not the best movie ever or anything, but it’s a fun, endlessly rewatchable comedy with a great cast. It’s a favorite of both of my parents, and it’s always a joy to watch.

 

Please send me the Collector's Edition Blu-Ray, I will be happy to take it off your hands. I will even pay for shipping.

 

i always loved this movie

 

To this day a friend and I *still* use Henry Gibson's "Yes....I *know* you did." in general conversation with each other.

And come on! This movie has Brother Theodore!

While DRAGNET ('87) will always by my ultimate favorite Tom Hanks goofy comedy (I own it on 35mm, 'nuff said?), THE 'BURBS comes in a close second, and I always thought it was an absolute shame that he kinda abandoned comedic roles after his string of Oscars. He's obviously a fantastic dramatic actor, but he was also a supreme funnyman.

 

A fun movie...and oddly enough, one that I saw recently!

 

"The pizza dude is here!!!"

 

A very fun movie bordering on the surreal...

 

I was happy when it came out on DVD! what a block, eh? LOL

 

Hysterical in BIG! my favorite scene when he spits out the caviar! OMG I laughed my ass off...

 

I saw this in the theater and enjoyed it. I stumbled across it on cable a year or so ago - after not seeing it since its release - and I think I like it more. Now, it's a must-watch when it's on. It's a fun, quirky flick.

 

Ha - I'll bet!

I actually have a friend who loves the movie - she got the Blu-ray...

 

As long as it has a happy home.

 

that's why i got the BD...it's always there for me.

 

I've been to my friend's home - I don't if anyone/anything is happy there!

 

Haha!

 

I was at a party one time and said that to the pizza delivery guy. I had to do it just once.

 

"Hey Pinocchio.....Where you going??"

The film reminds me of being a kid. I had a group of friends have a sleep over and we watched it on video. Think I was about 14 or so. Really laughed our heads off. Always found the bit where the the old boy fell off the roof super funny!!
