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.
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.
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’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.
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.
Have you guys heard of this super underrated and obscure comedy group from the UK? They call themselves Monty Python.
Tom Riddle: “Your parseltongue won’t help you now!”
Harry Potter: “I know what does: Cockney!”
Tom Riddle: “what”
Harry Potter: “Oi, snake! I see you’ve been trapped in the canal for years now! Why don’t we bugger off from here for tea time?”
Snake: “Oh my, this is a fortunate turn of events! I can’t wait for a cup of wonderful Earl Grey!”
Life of Brian isn’t uncommonly known by anyone, it’s still widely regarded as the greatest comedy movie ever made. That’s no small feat after 50+ years, considering it is just as brilliant now as it was then.
If you want more uncommonly known Python, go for Meaning of Life (out of the three main films it’s the odd one out).
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.
“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.
