Although he's best known for playing Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor on the hit ABC '90s series "Home Improvement," Tim Allen has also had a successful film career. With the highly anticipated "Toy Story 4" being released this week, I look at my five personal favorite Tim Allen films.
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
#5
Galaxy Quest
In this classic comedy, Tim Allen plays a television show actor of a once-famous sci-fi show that's recruited by real space aliens to save them from a real evil alien race, thinking that he (and his co-stars) are really heroes. The result is non-stop laughs delivered by Allen as well as Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shaloub, and Sam Rockwell.
#4
The Santa Clause
In this modern Christmas classic, Tim Allen plays a divorced father who accidentally kills someone resembling Santa Claus, and then puts on the suit and becomes the new Santa - whether he likes it or not. He has a year to prepare for the biggest night of the year, and through it all he learns important lessons about himself and the true meaning of the holiday. As usual, Tim Allen delivers a superior comedic performance in this beloved Christmas story (even if the subsequent sequels aren't as fantastic).
#3
Toy Story 2
Making his return as the lovable, iconic Buzz Lightyear, Tim Allen lends his voice to this Pixar gem as he mounts a ragtag mission to rescue Woody after he is taken by a collector. Family-friendly hilarity ensues, which only helps to make this one of the most successful and beloved film franchises in history.
#2
Toy Story
"To infinity, and beyond!" Tim Allen creates the iconic Buzz Lightyear in Pixar's classic "Toy Story," a film that revolutionized animated films forever. Allen plays Buzz, a child's plaything who thinks he's actually a heroic astronaut, and as he comes to terms with who he really is, finds the family he never knew he needed.
#1
Toy Story 3
It's a very rare thing when the third film in a franchise turns out to be the best, but that's exactly what "Toy Story 3" managed to do. Completing a trilogy that spanned the lifetimes of millions of kids who started the journey with the original, "Toy Story 3" served as the most elegant conclusion that spanned the timespan of a child's growing up years to college. Tim Allen returns as Buzz Lightyear, as he joins his fellow toys in escaping a nightmarish daycare center and returning to Andy before he leaves for college.
Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder." When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go. I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen. Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President. Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a...

Worst2First: My Most Anticipated Films of Spring 2025 Leading up to what cinemas consider summer (which runs from May to August as opposed to June to August), theaters are going to be popping during the two spring months of March and April! From sequels to war films and some exciting original content, there's something for everyone to see on the big screen in March and April. So here are the ten films I'm most excited to see in March and April of 2025... **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** #10 Ash March 21 Sci-fi isn't my particularly favorite genre, but I can still appreciate what it has to offer, especially in the horror community. "Alien" is still the standard of sci-fi horror films, and "Ash" looks like an "Alien" type film - a woman alone in the vastness of space after her entire crew is killed, trying to understand what happened when she's rescued by someone that she may or may not be able to trust.
