The Castle and Kenny, are both excellent aussie comedies. They’re kinda like feature length dad jokes.
Yes!!! I love Kenny! Has one of my favorite quotes in it:
It takes a certain kind of person to do what I do. No-one’s ever impressed; no-one’s ever fascinated. If you’re a fireman, all the kids will want to jump on the back of the truck and follow you to a fire. There’s going to be no kids willing to do that with me. So, I don’t do it to impress people - it’s a job, it’s my trade, and I actually think I’m pretty good at it.
“funnier than a bum full of smarties”
Happy Texas (1999). Haven’t seen in in decades so not sure how it holds up, but I’ve got memories of it being hilarious.
I don’t know how many people watched or loved this movie but I absolutely loved Hot Shots when I was a kid.
Part Duex is great aw well.
“I just can’t believe that Dead Meat is dead, and Washout couldn’t cut it. It’s just so shocking.”
Ah hang on, how many communities did you post this in?
My Cousin Vinny.
The Court Jester (starring Danny Kaye)
Old school movie from the 50s era. Still screamingly hilarious today.
My personal favorite tucker and dale vs evil.
Edit: also Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
Girls like it when you laugh.
tucker and dale vs evil
I came looking for this in the comments. So unexpectedly good!
I always liked Dr. Strangelove
Yes. Everyone should get to see Doctor Strange love.
You can’t fight in here! This is the war room!
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
Alan Tudyk is one of my favorite actors who I feel gets too little credit. He’s hilarious and it seems he’s always in some funny/weird role in live action but has a surprising list of credits when it comes to animated and especially Disney animated movies. Pretty sure he’s been in almost every Disney animated movie of the last 15 years.
I love Tucker and Dale vs Evil
I wonder how many people passed this up just because of the title and/or the cover picture
Definitely one of the most original comedy films ever
“He just jumped into that wood chipper! Who does something like that?!”
“He must be allergic to bees, cuz he was runnin’ like a bat outta hell”
‘My cousin Vinny’ seems relatively uncommon, and is a beautiful courtroom comedy drama.
Great film but not uncommon. She won the Oscar for her performance.
Amazing all around
Cast, writing, and a lot of memorable scenes
Uncommon to the young folks. Pretty much everyone over the age of 35 has seen my cousin Vinny. It was also super popular and well known and is still definitely a great movie.
The Yes Man.
Top Secret! (1984), a WW2 parody featuring Val Kilmer. From the same guys who made Airplane!.
The Death of Stalin Four Lions
Four lions is an absolute classic. Roz Ahmed’s career really took off a few years after the film and it always throws me straight back to it when I see him. It actually broke Venom for me, seeing him as the villain, as for me he is only Omar.
I don’t know about outside the UK, but I think it’s quite a well known and loved movie amongst people in their late twenties onward.
Death of Stalin is great, especially any scene with Zhukov.
I’m really surprised I don’t see “Big Trouble in Little China” on here yet.
I might catch some flack by saying this was a very respectful movie to Chinese culture for its time. This is an early Kurt Russel film, when he was pushing towards being an action star. It drifts from the classic “white guy hero in strange culture” trope and melds into a fun story where the audience-stand-in hero accepts he’s out of his league and goes with it. Also, this is Victor Wong and James Hong’s equivalent of Heat, where they get well developed characters and face off with each other in a grand arc. My brother and I used to quote it to each other all the time… if you ever hear someone say “Now this really pisses me off to no end,” you’ll get it by the end of the movie.
It’s a great movie but I don’t know about “uncommon.”
A Night at The Opera has some of the funniest physical gags I’ve seen in a movie. It is from 1935, but I found it very entertaining.
