This list is based on Bertie's list of the same name. The original list is a "parody of AFI's '100 Years, 100 Movies' list".
I thought 8 Heads was extremely funny. The Gods Must Be Crazy was likewise funny, but also touching, and of course it had a great Land Rover in it. (Can you say obsessed?) Hudson Hawk was so surrealisticly bizarre that I kinda liked it in a sort of grapefruit-juice kind of way.
Nothing but Trouble wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either. Some funny bits, some not; I've certainly seen worse, especially from Chevy Chase. Two of a Kind had Olivia Newton-John -- Need I say more? (Okay, obsession #2)
Perhaps you should compile a therapeutic list: "Movies That Feature Land Rovers" - or would that only fuel your obsession? And the one in "Gods" was a rare tree-climbing model - you don't see many of those...or, at least, I don't; I can't speak for you :-) (It wasn't a Land Rover that climbed down the tree in Jurassic Park was it? - no.)
I know what you mean by liking a movie "in a grapefruit-juice kind of way," but I can't say I liked Hudson Hawk in any kind of way; I was embarrassed for Bruce Willis, since I doubt he could be for himself.
I feel sincerely flattered that you've imitated my list. Again, you're welcome.
