I've seen almost all of those except for EdTv and A Beautiful Mind. I'd have to say Apollo 13.

I'm no fan of Howard but Backdraft was a decent flick. It's too bad he doesn't know how to use non-whites in non-bad guy roles.

Spoiler:
), andOf the other ones that I've seen (which is most of them) there weren't really any bad guys.
So I'm a little confused as to who you're thinking of when you make that statement (not being hostile here, just genuinely curious)?

I like a lot of his movies but I had to vote Apollo 13
Must be some kind of mental block or something.

The best most respectable one is Apollo 13, which I really like, but I voted other, because my favorite is Night Shift.
Oh, and I forgot about Parenthood. That's great as well.
