National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 (1993)

Even less funny than The Hungover Games and as puerile as Movie 43, this National Lampoon's comedy is a Lethal Weapon spoof featuring Emilio Estevez in the mulleted Riggs role and Samuel L Jackson in the Murtaugh role and is yet another film belonging to the bigger-than-you-realised Hollywood genre, dismal-comedies-that-you-can't-believe-really-famous-people-agreed-to-appear-in.

Ghost (1990)

It is often said of this hit romantic ghost story that Whoopi Goldberg steals the show playing Oda Mae Brown, a not-so-fake psychic, but in fact the whole cast - including Patrick Swayze as Sam, an all-round good guy murdered early on who tries as a ghost to solve the mystery of his death, and Demi Moore as Molly, his heartbroken lover - is so winning and likeable that it too, along with the movie's special effects and great humour, makes this a romantic, suspenseful, funny and only occasionally cloying romp.
