8. The Impostors (1988) - Written & directed by one of its stars, Stanley Tucci, it's got the loose, self-indulgent feel of an actor-directed movie. When it ended I said, "Well, I'm glad they had fun." The first act is great, and Oliver Platt elevates it. Its story issues were instructive! Grade: C

9. The Party (1968) - I hesitate to include. A promising premise and lots of incredible gags, absolutely RUINED by Peter Sellers doing atrocious (not to mention completely unnecessary for the storytelling and jokes) brownface throughout the entire movie. Can we get AI to fix that? Grade: F
