I love Cheezo

I think you mean John Goodman and the movie is called Matinee. Maybe it's the one your looking for. I really liked this movie growing up, haven't seen it for years. Set in Key West during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Here's the poster:

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

thanks thats the one

Oh man, talk about a walk down memory lane. I'm gonna need to go jump on Netflix right now and add this to the queue. **EDIT: Nevermind, turns out, Netflix doesn't recognize Matinee.

I wouldn't mind watching it again either.

More bad news. The film has since been discontinued by Universal. I doubt Blockbuster has it, but I will check with them tomorrow.

Good luck Spud. I checked my library which usually has everything, but they don't have it.
