Thursday, September 18, 2008. Twenty years ago today, the number one movie at the USA box office was "A Fish Called Wanda." I talk about why this is one of my favorite movies of all time, as well as offering a few observations about the difference between the box office charts then and now. For both the number one and two movies to have been in release for two months is something just about impossible today.
