The Best (and Worst) Movies of 1988

[Kaing of Kaings]

1998 was a decent year for film. Only 3-five star movies but many 4 stars for that year. It was the year we were introduced to John McClane and Nakatomi Plaza. It was the year that "Yippie Kay Yea, Mother Fucker" Came into our vernacular in Die Hard, a masterful action thriller that they just don't make anymore. It was also the year that my brother and I saw The Land Before Time in the theater. I think it might be the first time I cried in the theater when little foots mom died (or was it Bambi's mom dying). Either way, I still get choked up to this day when I see that film. It was also the year the comic genius of the Naked Gun was born. Let's count them down.

And the Worst. Not many as you can see.
