Making a "Splash"

I'll be doing that tomorrow as I've been under the weather today. But don't despair if you needed a fix of Ron Howard's best movie (you heard me), the charming fish out of water comedy Splash from 1984. Here are seven articles from Best Shot participants to enjoy. Click on the photos to dive into their takes on this romantic winner about a man and his mermaid.

Actually, now that I've seen this all the way through, I'm right there with you in calling it Ron Howard's best movie. There's no fat on it at all, and every scene is staged impeccably. It's fluffy, sure, but that doesn't stop it from being perfectly put together.

There was something so dangerously thrilling to child me watching that tank scene with Tom Hanks!

Re Howard's best movie: not even Apollo 13?

It's such a (guilty?-nah!) pleasure.
So funny and romantic with sad moments.
John Candy was great, too. I'll always miss him.

I must have seen it twelve times or more. It was my first "adult" movie in theatres. I saw it twice that day!

I will join you in late posting. I wasn't going to miss my last official chance to do this.
