I have seen 11 of these 15 movies. Two of them (Porky’s and From The Hip) generated some of the biggest laughs I have experienced in a movie theater. Porky’s was a smash, From The Hip was ignored. I would put A Christmas Story (of course) and Murder by Decree in my Top 4 Bob Clark Movies with Porky’s and From The Hip. Rhinestone and the Baby Genius movies are pretty bad!
