Clue (1985) starring Christopher Lloyd, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Eileen Brennan, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, and Leslie Ann Warren. A murder mystery comedy based on the board game of the same name.
I’ll throw Murder by Death in on this one. Same movie, love them both.
Big Trouble in Little China! Great 80’s action comedy with Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall. Drink every time Kurt’s character asks a question. Lmao.
Its definitely one of my favourite movies ever. Very chill and funny.
“You know what ol’ Jack Burton says at a time like this?” “Who?!?” “Jack Burton!.. … … Me!”
Four Lions
Yep and then once more familiar with Chris Morris it’s time to watch JAM. Still the weirdest, most unsettling yet hilarious series I have ever watched.
Certainly was. Brasseye and Nathan Barley were also works of pure genius. They summed up the cultural landscape of Britain in their time perfectly.
Saw “The Day Shall Come” a little while ago. Was sadly a bit disappointed.
Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is one of my favorites, might not be quite uncommon but people tend not to know it when I bring it up.
I rarely see Mystery Men mentioned these days. Don’t even see memes from it anymore.
I love that movie. I showed it to my boys. When Paul Reuben died, they didn’t remember him from Pee Wee Herman (which we somehow never got to showing them). They remembered him as “that farting guy on Mystery Men.”
(He passed gas near a gypsy and tried to blame it on her. To take her revenge, she cursed him. Since he smelt it, he would forever be the one that dealt it!)
Office Space, not exactly uncommon but not talked about that much these days and still relevant.
More relevant than ever?
Kind of like Idiocracy.
Death to Smoochy.
Robin Williams plays an established children’s entertainer and Edward Norton’s character is an up-and-coming performer.
IT’S A COCK AND BALLS!
Kung Pao: Enter The Fist
Everybody needs gopher chucks
Hudson Hawk. Bruce Willis plays an ex con cat burglar who gets caught up in a scheme between a mega corp, the CIA, and the Vatican to steal Davinci’s gold making machine.
It’s also a musical.
And a video game. AVGN did an episode on it and it’s how I know about this movie.
“Orgazmo”? Think it’s South Park creator’s first movie together. Story of a Mormon who goes into porn to pay for his dream wedding.
“Toc toc” is a funny Spanish comedy. Revolves around a group of people waiting in a doctor’s office and each one has a different type of OCD. Think it might work on a subtitle level too, but definitely funnier if you understand Spanish.
“Carnage”. Two sets of parents try to resolve an altercation between their children, and it just slowly descends into madness.
Cannibal: The Musical (by the South Park guys) is great, too. It’s crazy low budget because I believe it was their film school project, but still quality. And the music is great. The main theme (Shpadoinkle) is the jingle that plays after the credits of every South Park episode.
Edit: oh, and Jesus and I love you.
Black dynamite is amazingly funny. A satirical 70s action/crime movie
Btw its written by michael jai white. And he is making a new movie… “outlaw johnny black” where he plays a cowboy/gunslinger. I am looking forward to it
I would say black dynamite or tucker and Dale vs evil
Hamlet 2. There are some problematic things in it, that haven’t aged so great, but it is otherwise amazingly funny.
Quick Change. It’s full of big stars (Bill Murray, Randy Quaid, Geena Davis, Jason Roberts) but I never hear people talk about it. I find it pretty funny.
Without A Clue
Enjoyable take on Sherlock Holmes with Ben Kingsley as Watson, who is the real genius, but creates a character for his stories, and hires an actor to play Sherlock Holmes, played by Michael Cain. Never got the attention it should have, with two fabulous actors and a clever script, plus music by Henry Mancini.
It’s one of those movies that we watch again and again.
