Steve Martin's Best Movie


I'm serious! Actually The Jerk was his best but this is close. Excellent movie, saw it back in 2001 in an art house theater and it actually got better in time, just finished watching it on FLIX. Classic mystery/murder/comedy. 9 out of 10 stars.

Maybe I will get to this film eventually. But I wanted to vote for two Martin roles I love, first as the flip-flopping director of super violent movies in "Grand Canyon".... he wasn't in the lead, but a good support in a pretty serious role.... and then as the owner of the cockeyed film production company in "Bowfinger." My favorite all time flat out comedy absurdist film.
also good in the quite old "LA Story".

I haven't seen Grand Canyon but Bowfinger is a great movie and a very favorite of mine also. I would love to see Steve Martin do another film of its caliber...or anyone for that matter.
