Modern Problems [Chevy Chase] -- February 22nd
So...I pop in Silver Streak just now and check out their "Special Features" which basically consist of the Trailer for SS and some other random trailers.
One of those trailers happens to be for Chevy Chase's 80s flick "Modern Problems".
Surfed on over to 'ol Amazon.com and it's up there with a release date of February 22nd.
Hopefully, Under the Rainbow is next.

Love this movie, even though it is kinda terrible. I saw it when I was just a little kid and thought Chevy Chase was only tickling his girlfriend under the covers (you know the scene)....little did I know back then

Damn, first I forgot Ice Pirates came out this month and now I'm reminded of this one. Well, off to Best Buy I go. I remember seeing this one with my parents when I was 10 and being so embarassed during the "sex" scene. With this and 9 to 5, I now have the best 2 Dabney Coleman movies ever!

D'oh! I forgot all about this release! Damn! I'm going to have to go and look for it.
It's funny that some of these older movies, which some consider terrible but are sentimental favorites for others, are so hard to find. Just recently I've found new release discs like Orca, Cloak & Dagger, and Ice Pirates were pretty tough to find.
I always liked Modern Problems. I think Chevy was at his best in films like this, Fletch and the original Vacation movie.
