Top 5 Billy Crystal films
I said I'd do it, and I'm doing it. Billy Crystal's a pretty funny guy, or at least was in the 90's, but I haven't seen a film that he actually appears in since 1997's Father's Day, which BUH-loo. But I've seen enough for a list! Notable films that I haven't seen include Analyze This, Analyze That, America's Sweethearts, City Slickers II: The Search for Curly's Gold, Mr. Saturday Night, or Throw Mama from the Train. Heh, Throw Mama from the Train.
5. Running Scared (Billy Crystal in an action star. Fantastic. This movie gave us the daringly original concept of the buddy cop flick, using a black guy and a white guy and playing off their dynamic to provide laughs and excitement. Where do they come up with that stuff?)
4. The Princess Bride (I loved this flick as a kid because Andre the Giant is in it)
3. Monsters, Inc. (this would be the last flick of his I've seen, which is why I was careful to say that "I haven't seen a film that he actually appears in since 1997". I'm so clever it hurts)
2. City Slickers (I never saw the sequel, but I found this one funny and touching)
1. When Harry Met Sally... (I already called it his best work ever, so it was a pretty easy decision to rank it first. You know, I have a theory that hieroglyphics are just an ancient comic strip about a character named Sphinxy)
