I know you've seen it, but it might have been awhile and I'm begging you not to forget about The Burbs (1989). Tom Hanks at his high-stressed best teams up with a fat Rick Ducommun and paramilitary nut Bruce Dern in this dark family comedy.
Highlights: Corey Feldman as a thrasher and neighborhood enthusiast throwing block-watching lawn parties; and Malachai (Courtney Gains) from the original Children of the Corn as the similarly cast Eastern European psychopathic teen next door.

Tom Hanks' masterwork. You know when he gets all wound up and his voice goes all high pitched and squeaky? Makes my nipples stand up.
