Congo (1995)A monkey scientist, a mercenary (played by Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson), a technology specialist (legitimate actress, Laura Linney), and a Hungarian treasure hunter (Tim Curry) travel to the jungle with a gorilla (played by a lady in a monkey suit) tricked out with a magic glove that allows her to “speak” via sign language in order to find an ex-fiance (Bruce Campbell), a diamond, a lost city, and a home for a misfit gorilla. The scene on the airplane in which Amy the gorilla requests “raindrop drink” (a martini) is the most amazing thing ever captured on celluloid.
Surf Ninjas (1993)
A pair of brothers discover, after the untimely death of their adoptive father, that they are princes of a small island country called Patusan. With the help of a guy in an eye patch, a detective (played by Tone-Loc), and their friend (Rob Schneider, playing a high school student at age 30), they must save their homeland from the evil Colonel Chi (Leslie Neilson with a robot arm). This film ranked ahead of Woody Allen’s Manhattan Murder Mystery when first released in theaters.
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)Robin Williams plays a man who, after his divorce, discovers a new life as an elderly Scottish widow (with help from Harvey Firestein). Pierce Brosnan costars as a dreamboat.

Congo-I saw this movie when it was first released, at the Canarsie Movie Theater, in Brooklyn. I went along with Christopher and Anthony's baseball team-the Team Moms paid for our tickets, I got a FREE bag of popcorn, and I fell asleep in the back of the theater.
Mrs. Doubtfire-I was pretty pissed at Sally Field's character for ruining the birthday party at the beginning of the movie.
Also, everyone used to tell my mom that she looked like Sally Field, and that only further aggravated me.
