The crowd is almost scarred for life, but the post-accident enthusiasm of skinny Wiley has everybody cheering. Nobody rocks a body cast like Steve Buscemi.   

Shortly before all hell breaks loose in this Coen Brothers classic, “The Dude” aka Jeffrey Lebowski, meets his namesake and a sex’d up wife named Bunny. As the nervous Brandt stands by, the woman with the bright green bikini makes a rather odd request and follows it up with a blunt negotiation for a poolside BJ. Leave it to Brandt to break up the action while completely taking the comedy to another level. That’s marvellous. Unfortunately, Bunny disappears and The Dude never manages to “cash in.”

Hal Larson dreams of landing a Perfect 10 in this Farrelly Brothers comedy, but a hypnotic encounter with the one and only Tony Robbins changes everything. No longer does Hal creep around pools looking for hotties; now he enjoys a little quality time with his girlfriend, Rosemary Shanahan.

Of course, he was to go on to bigger and better adventures.

When the mastermind criminals behind the “Alphabet Crimes” terrorize Beverly Hills, Axel Foley hops on the first plane from Detroit to whoop some ass. After all, the new police chief is trying to push out his old pals Taggart and Rosewood. After fast-talking his way into a vacated mansion, Foley “steals the house” and invites his friends over to show off. Despite the hard-ass demeanor of Taggart and well-placed wisecracks from Rosewood, Axel still manages to find humor in the situation and frazzles them even more.

So what if Michael Phelps won 22 Olympics medals – have you ever seen him perform a “triple lindy?” In this Rodney Dangerfield comedy, the wealthy Thornton Melon goes back to college to help his humiliated son and finds himself center stage atop numerous diving boards ready to perform the impossible. What follows is a defining moment of ‘80s comedy with the wrinkled student bouncing from board to board with style and grace. Don’t ever try to imitate the “triple lindy,” Mojoholics. You have officially been warned.

Speaking of unforgettable ‘80s movies AND Judge Reinhold, few scenes have managed to combine sex appeal and comedy like Amy Heckerling’s coming-of-age film.

Classic nude scene…which we won’t show you. But then reality hits and the doors literally swing open. Boom! Classic comedy and definitely one of the most hilarious pool scenes of all-time. All Brad can do is shake it off, which comes naturally to him.

A bloody mess in the family pool and one very concerned father-in-law…well, potential father-in-law, that is. Some people just aren’t cut out forpool shenanigans. Especially this Focker.
