Roxanne [DVD](1987) DVD
Steve Martin delivers the performance of his career and scripted this disarming romantic comedy about a modern-day ``Cyrano'' who must deal with his bumbling firemen's troupe, long-nose jokes, his unrequited love for Roxanne (Daryl Hannah) and the dumbstruck hunk he vicariously lives through.

Planes, Trains And Automobiles(1987) VHS
Every holiday traveller's worst nightmares come to life in this comic odyssey from John Hughes. Steve Martin's struggle to get from New York to Chicago for Thanksgiving is made worse by overbearing lout John Candy, whose presence he can't escape. And remember, "Those aren't PILLOWS!" 93 min.
My Blue Heaven(1990) VHS
When ex-gangster Steve Martin turns state's evidence and is placed in suburbia under the witness protection program, the result is an uproarious culture clash comedy.

Father Of The Bride(1991) VHS
In this funny and bittersweet remake of the 1950 Spencer Tracy film, Steve Martin plays the put-upon, overly anxious dad who must deal with all sorts of mishaps and financial demands when his daughter decides to get married. Diane Keaton, Martin Short, Kimberly Williams and B.D. Wong co-star. 105 min.
The Out-Of-Towners(1999) VHS

Bowfinger(1999) VHS
Funny and affecting Hollywood fable featuring (and written by) Steve Martin as a down-and-out producer whose new low-budget sci-fi epic, "Chubby Rain," stars action hero Eddie Murphy. The problem is that Murphy doesn't realize he's in the film, as Martin and crew film him secretly, and that his geeky brother (also played by Murphy) has been recruited to be his stand-in. Heather Graham, Christine Baranski and Jamie Kennedy also star. 97 min.
