Prioritize:
A very successful "live-action animated comedy", in my opinion perhaps the only one that rode the wave of success Home Alone and managed to succeed. Dennis the Menace is the true embodiment of pure evil, but Wilson, played by Walter Matthau, faces him bravely, and you almost feel sorry for Switchblade Sam, played (once again) by the beautifully deranged Christopher Lloyd. And lest I forget, Jerry Goldsmith composed a great soundtrack for the film – it's from his non-experimental period, but it's excellent.
