Screenwriter: Frank Sebastiano, Norm MacDonald, Fred Wolf
DVD Release Date: 08/24/1999
This is a funny movie starring Norm MacDonald as a loser who finds success when he opens a business which specializes in getting revenge. Chris Farley only had a small role in this film, but is was a good one none the less. It has been a while since I saw this move and I cant remember what exactly his charater was doing, but I remember a whore bit his nose off.
Almost Heroes
Comedy

Screenwriter: Mark Nutter, Tom Wolfe, Boyd Hale
VHS Release Date: 07/13/1999
This movie was Chris Farley's last starring role before he died. I like this movie, it was really funny, but it box office success like most of Chris' movies. Chris Farley played Bartholomew Hunt along with Matthew Perry as Leslie Edwards. The story goes like this in 1804, two explorers and their team of simpletons try to beat Lewis and Clark to the discovery of the Northwest Passage. If it wasn't for Chris Farley this movie would not be good.

"I may not be the best ninja, I may not be one with the universe, but I will tell you this NO ONE MESSES WITH MY BROTHER!"
This is a good movie, Chris Farley plays Haru supposible the "Great White Ninja." Chaos ensues when an orphaned Caucasian infant assumed to be the legendary "Great White Ninja" grows up to be a bumbling, zaftig mama's boy of a man. He is great, and he is white, but he's no ninja. Farley doing drop kicks and swinging nunchuks? What a great premise to take advantage of his physical humor and athleticism. (Have you ever seen another 300 lb man move like that?) Chris Rock is also in this movie a little bit and he is awesome.

"-I'm just dandy, there's a bowl of chocolate pudding in my underpants."
"-We didn't have any chocolate pudding in there buddy."
This is a great movie, it is kind of like Tommy Boy even though it is nothing like it. I say that because Chris Farley and David Spade are in it and it is the same type of comedy, but it has a completely different plot. Chris Farley plays the disaster-prone brother, Mike Donnelly, of a gubernatorial candidate, Al Donnelly, in Washington State. Though he is well meaning, the havoc he creates on the campaign trail is drawing press attention, so Steve Dobbs, (David Spade) is dispatched to keep the big lug under control. Spade's character initially insults his charge as often as possible, but over time, the two bond and end up becoming a part of the final election push. Gary Busey also has a funny little role in this film.
Tommy Boy

Director: Peter Segal
VHS Release Date: 10/10/1995

"Let me tell you why I suck as a salesmen. Lets say I go into some guys office lets say he's even remotely interested in buying something well then I get all excited I'm like Joe Joe the Indian Circus Boy with a pretty new pet (the pet is my possible sale) Oh my pretty little pet I love you so I stroke it, and I pet it, and I massage it hehe I love it, I love my little naughty pet you're naughty and than I take my naughty pet and I go (clrrrr clrrr) Aahhh I killed it, I killed my sale. Thats when I blow it."
Tommy Boy is everyones favorite Chris Farley movie, but it is my favorite movie with any actor. This movie also features David Spade, another one of my favorite actors. After Tommy's father dies, just after his wedding, Tommy must save the family business. Except Tommy doesn't know anything about running a business or selling anything (he's an idiot). And the women his father just married is an imposter she is just after the money.

"Good, Great, Grand no yelling on the bus!"
Chris Farley only has a small role in this movie, but it's a good movie. This is more of an Adam Sandler movie and it is one of his best. Chris Farley plays a school bus driver with a bad temper. And Adam Sandler is the son of a millinare that pays to have Adam go back through school so he can prove that he can do it. If he can make it through every grade he will be able to take over the family business.

The three main charcters (Sandler, Fraser, Buscemi) are wanna be rock stars that are just trying to get their demo played on the radio.

In this big screen spin-off of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, two small-town cable TV hosts and lifetime best friends (Mike Myers and Dana Carvey) spend their days and nights chasing babes (schwing!) and refusing to budge from their long-haired, head-banging style. I'm pretty sure Chris Farley just had a small role as a security gaurd.
