WOW, an honorable mention for Coming to America ?!
How old is Mr. Lyttelton anyway? Bowfinger should've been
the honorable mention. I've probably seen Coming to America
several times a year since its 1988 theatrical release and it's still
funny as hell !

We love you, Eddie !
Please drop the family films and return to your "R-rated" roots.

It's often overlooked, but I will defend "Boomerang" to my dying day. Murphy, who had taken some heat a few years earlier when he criticized Hollywood for its lack of roles for black actors while presenting the Best Picture Oscar, put his money where his mouth was with this comedy, which boasts a who's-who of black comic actors. While the race of the characters is admirably beside the point, it's never completely forgotten — as when Murphy and his buppie pals are followed around a clothing store by a nervous white manager.

I went back and watched 48 Hrs recently. It does NOT hold up. I can't believe you didn't include Coming to America on this list. That is a crime. Honorable Mention doesn't cut it.
