Masterpiece: It's Pat - The MoviePretty damn close: Stuart Saves His Family; SuperstarShame on you for stealing the title of the greatest American film comedy: The Ladies Man

But the real question is: does the Lewis Ladies Man hold a candle to It's Pat?

Fab factoid: Dixie Square Mall, in which the car-chase scenes from The Blues Brothers were filmed, chosen for filming because it had just closed down in 1978 only 13 years after it was built, still stands today because nobody wanted to pay to tear it down. It has stood as a derelict, vacant building for over twice as long as it was actually open for business!

xp A friend of mine grew up near that mall, which was vacant during his whole childhood...except for one night when it was mysteriously, and suddenly, completely lit-up and fully-stocked. A day or two later, it was back to being vacant. He thought he'd dreamed it or was otherwise going nuts until he saw the movie.

Forget the movie, I kind of loathed the Mary Catherine Gallagher sketches.

Like, I might have to do a sequel to this poll: Worst SNL Sketch Upon Which a Movie Was Based. Roxbury would probably win. I honestly don't know what Lorne was smoking there for a while.
