Yes she's a talented actress. Also I read the Judy Blume book but haven't seen the film adaptation. I saw that you rated it high. I'm happy that younger people enjoy that story as much as I did when I was in middle school.

Die Hard (1988)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095016/
My favorite action film ever. And yes, it is a Christmas movie. I never get tired of it.
The Karate Kid Part III (1989)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097647/
It is stupid funny. Daniel forgotten what he learned from the previous two movies and went to the dark side. Very cartoonish at time, and played off like a comedy. I enjoyed it though.
Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093300/
If you think a Jaws movie can't be worse than Jaws 3-D, this one succeed. What a stupid concept of a shark targeting the Brody family, like a curse. Not only terrible story, atrocious acting, and comical effect.
The Money Pit (1986)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091541/
A couple (Tom Hanks & Shelly Long) tried to fix up a scammed house they bought. There were some very funny moment that worked like a Rube Goldberg machine. Other time, did not work so well. Tom Hanks was funny, but not Shelly Long. Watchable, but don't expect anything great. -

Scarlet Street (1945) - This has some similarities to The Woman in the Window. Edward G. Robinson is good in a role of a henpecked lonely man. Dan Duryea started to get on my nerves. He said "For cat's sake!" one too many times for my taste.
Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) - Good movie, good production. No miniatures, all real ships, they even filmed in Tahiti which seems extravagant for the time. Clark Gable didn't try on the accent but I wonder if they would even have let him if he wanted too. The British didn't sound like modern Brits back then anyway. Bligh is cruel but I liked him, especially when things got tough. There is a Christmas celebration later in the film so this is technically a Christmas movie.
