Have you seen Airplane! Or The Naked Gun series? Those have some hilarious moments…
“Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffin’ glue!”
The same guys also made Top Secret!, which I adore just about as much as those.
I almost mentioned it too! I found it later in life than the others
I’ve seen Airplane recently and really liked it. I loved The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear was pretty good. Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult is in my VERY long list of movies to watch. (300 and counting.)
And don’t forget “police squad” tv show.
If you’ve seen airplane! I would recommend popstar: never stop never stopping. I think that movie has as many jokes shoved in it as Airplane!
I don’t think that movie was a hit at the time of its release, but it still holds up.
They said “uncommon”
The Hudsucker Proxy.
You know, for the kids.
Better Off Dead.
Office Space, not exactly uncommon but not talked about that much these days and still relevant.
More relevant than ever?
Kind of like Idiocracy.
The Life of Brian - no idea if it is “uncommon” but I haven’t seen it being mentioned anywhere in ages. It has a weird and macabre but enjoyable mix of super dry English humor, whacky sillyness and actual satire, while still managing to tell a coherent story.
Why not go trough the complete Monty’s enzyklo Pythonia?
Mony Puthon and teh Holy Grain is epic. Saw it at elementary school ages ago (early 80s) and was looking for iit for ages. (Not speaking English yet, Imtotally forgot the title) Still need to watch Jabberwocky.
When done, Black Adder’s Christmas Carol is a belter as well. (The serie is nice as well, as id Red Dwarf)
I’s add Idiocracy and Don’t look up as well, but alas, both are documentaries by now. :(
For car fanatics, the Taxi series is nice as well.
Balls Out: Gary The Tennis Coach (best film with Seann William Scott as lead imo)
Dirty Work
Palm Springs on Hulu (flew under the radar for most people I know)
Vice Principals (TV show)
Almost Heros
Came to say Dirty Work. It might be the only movie with Norm MacDonald as the lead. My friends and I still quote that one from time to time.
Absolutely love it! And so quotable!
I emulated it after seeing it as a kid in a revenge-prank business at school (worst thing I did was put fire ants in a kid’s desk to get back for bullying).
Years back, as soon as the CEO business came out in GTA online, I immediately claimed “Dirty Work Inc.” as my business name!
Definitely one of my favorite movies.
That movie always reminds me of the time MY NOSE WAS BIT OFF BY A SAIGON WHORE!!!
I’m usually not drawn to comedies, but Palm Springs is what came to mind for me. I learned what it means for a screenplay to be “tight” - efficient, cohesive. Every line fits the tone of the movie and moves the plot forward. Plus it’s technically such a beautiful movie. The lighting is warm, the soundtrack is fun, and the chemistry between all the actors is perfect.
Third for Palm Springs. I thought it was gonna be a mindless watch when I threw it on, so maybe low expectations helped.
Hamlet 2. There are some problematic things in it, that haven’t aged so great, but it is otherwise amazingly funny.
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 a mad mad mad mad world.
The big W!
Is Brain Candy uncommon?
Probably the movie I quote the most that gets zero recognition.
You just don’t get it here. Hoohoooo.
You’re not a plate of croissants
Look, are we ever going to get the big table in here or do I have to go out and cut down that fucking tree myself?
Considering it wasn’t available on blue ray or streaming for about 20 years, yeah I’d say Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy is off the beaten path. It’s also really good.
“Who is killing the great chefs of Europe” If you ever want to see great European humor akin to monty python’s stuff this would be one! Grab some bugles cause it’s a good one
The Slammin’ Salmon
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.
Crimewave. Many have not heard of it. It’s problematic in parts.
Writers: Coen Brothers. Director: Sam Raimi.
Yep.
Surf Ninjas
