Three Amigos
In a hurry? Go right to the pictures
I know some people consider this a pretty stupid movie, and I suppose it is, but I like it anyway.
It's just plain fun. The three leads are each masters of their schtick, the gags are good-natured and the songs by Randy Newman are really catchy. Maybe too catchy - I sometimes get to singing them over and over which, you can imagine, makes me very popular with the husband.
You don't get analytical or philosophical with this movie, I think, so I'll just list the bits that are still my favorites after all these years:
