Crocodile Dundee

In a lot of media, particularly film, there is a action/adventure trope or subcategory involving a man of adventure pairing up with a "city girl". It isn't always done well. but when it is it makes for some fun, memorable films. Some popular examples of this in the 1980's were Romancing the Stone, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and of course Crocodile Dundee.

Released in 1986 Crocodile Dundee, a bit to my surprise, was the #2 movie overall at the U.S. box-office that year just behind Top Gun. The film stars Paul Hogan as Michael "Crocodile" Dundee, a man who is something of a living legend in Australia. He is visited by a journalists named Sue Charlton (played by Linda Kozlowski) who is eager to learn Dundee's story and write about it for the newspaper back in New York. After a few days in the outback Sue convinces Dundee to come back with her to New York City to continue the story. From there it's a pretty standard, well done, fish-out-of-water movie and they fall in love by the end.

I've liked this movie ever since I was a kid and rewatching it again today, I still found it very entertaining. It's not a complex story and there aren't any dramatic plot twists. It's just a fun, breezy, hour and forty minutes with some likeable characters.
I give it a 3.5 out of 5
