Which is your favorite out of the ones I’ve listed? Make sure to vote in the poll below. Six John Goodman movies that you might not have seen (at least not for a long time) and should. The film wasn’t a flop, but it wasn’t huge, either, so it’s that sweet spot of maybe you’ve seen it, or maybe you haven’t, which is why I’ve included it on this list. It’s a really fun flick, and Goodman is as lovable as ever. I love movies about movies, such as Ed Wood and The Disaster Artist, and Matinee fits the bill. Honestly, I don’t think it’s possible to hate John Goodman in any role.

Even though he’s using scary times to amplify the silly horror movie he’s making, you still can’t hate him. It’s a period piece, and Goodman plays said director. Lastly, there's Matinee, which is the story of a schlocky horror director who is using the Cuban Missile Crisis to his advantage to get more butts in the seats. The film was well liked by critics and successful at the time, but it’s kind of fallen into obscurity, and I’m not quite sure why. John Goodman was like my safety blanket while watching this movie, as I thought everything would be alright with him on the screen. He disbelieves that there’s a threat in town at all, but when he finds out that there is, he’s ready to rock and roll! A lot of it is played for laughs, but I genuinely found this movie terrifying as a kid ( especially at the popcorn scene). Move over, Iron Man, and make way for Delbert McClintock, exterminator extraordinaire! The story concerns (What else?) spiders, and lots of them, as a rare killer spider, known as “The General” has been cross breeding and creating an army of deadly arachnids. Come on, though, this is John Goodman’s superhero movie. The film did very well when it first released, both critically and commercially, but you don’t really hear people talk about it today, and they should.Īrachnophobia is another case where you could argue that it is actually a Jeff Daniels movie rather than a John Goodman flick. I especially love the scene where Goodman’s character starts singing “Sea of Love,” and he gets the cops to sing along. The film is often very dour, but Goodman’s happily married character gives it that light-heartedness that elevates it from what could have potentially turned into a pitch black, pre-David Fincher-type flick. It’s really good!īut, it’s made great by Goodman, who plays Pacino’s partner, Detective Sherman Touhey.

The story concerns a homicide detective (Pacino) who is tracking down a serial killer who seems to love the song, “Sea of Love." Pacino’s character is trying to catch him through dating ads in the newspaper. The film wouldn’t be nearly as good as it is without him. And that’s the problem, because Sea of Love is very much a John Goodman movie.
Okay, so right off the bat, I’m going to talk about a movie that most people wouldn’t even call a John Goodman movie, but rather, an Al Pacino film.
