Adam Resurrected (2008)
"What's that?" you say. "I've never heard of a Jeff Goldblum movie called Adam Resurrected!" That's probably because in Adam Resurrected, Goldblum plays "the funniest man in Germany"—a circus performer who, after surviving a concentration camp, finds himself in an asylum for Holocaust survivors. Good luck, funniest man in Germany! ERIK HENRIKSEN
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)
Try to keep in mind, as you watch this ungainly testament to '80s ridiculousness, that no matter what Kevin Smith may do when adapting Buckaroo Banzai to TV later this year, his sticky-icky-stained fingers can't change the frantically haphazard glory contained within this film. Just sit back and enjoy Jeff Goldblum in his seminal role as "New Jersey"—a man rocking the best pair of chaps you've ever seen. BOBBY ROBERTS
Annie Hall (1977)
"I forgot my mantra" wasn't the first thing Jeff Goldblum ever said in a movie, but it might as well have been. With four simple words, he single-handedly punctured the California New Age aesthetic. This 1977 Woody Allen movie is still completely watchable in 2016, in large part because Allen isn't actively trying to fuck a child in it, unlike Manhattan. :( NED LANNAMANN
The Big Chill (1983)
Asking Jeff Goldblum to be "normal" is like de-horning a unicorn, but that's what writer/director Lawrence Kasdan did in The Big Chill. Don't hold out hope Jeff will jolt some life into this monument to upper-class ennui—Goldblum's JC Penney sweatshirt might as well be a straitjacket. At least these whiners brought a couple crates of Motown with them. BOBBY ROBERTS
Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990-1991)
Captain Planet is a show that frolics playfully in the garden of your memory, yet crumbles to ash under the harsh light of the present. Jeff Goldblum only played rat monster/pollution enthusiast "Verminous Skumm" for one season, and gives the impression of having recorded his dialogue quickly and in a cut-rate studio. However, no living actor could deliver the line "Taste my scummy brew!" with more relish. BEN COLEMAN
