1969

Plot: The Hole in the Wall gang dynamites their way to Bolivia.

Eric: zzzzzzzzz

No vote.

Kelly: You know, Eric, it wouldn’t kill you to actually give these “classics” a chance. (The fact that he showed up on the couch in his jammies was a pretty big hint.) I enjoyed it—even though I had to turn up the sound to compete with Eric’s snoring. It’s a fun cowboy movie sprinkled with great one-liners, and there is something very endearing about watching a cast that obviously enjoys working together.

Eric: I don't wear pajamas.

2007

Plot: A clueless garbage boy pulls his hair out (with a rat) trying to become a chef.

Eric: This movie will become an all-time favorite of mine. I think it had the second biggest laugh of 2008 for me in the scene where Remy and Linguini were first learning how to cook together. (The first being the "Cone of Silence" in Get Smart.) Kelly is hilarious when she sticks out her thumb and says, "I keel-ed a man wid’ dees tumb!"

Kelly: Yep, this movie will be on my top-ten list forever, too. The animation was great; the story was hilarious; it had just enough over-the-top stuff to make you lapse into silent-ouch-it-hurts laughter at certain points. It was a kid’s movie that you really didn’t have to stop and pretend you were a kid again to enjoy. Does that make sense? (Eric: Not really.)
