Is Brain Candy uncommon?

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.

Probably the movie I quote the most that gets zero recognition.

“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.

Have you seen Airplane! Or The Naked Gun series? Those have some hilarious moments…

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.)

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.

The same guys also made Top Secret!, which I adore just about as much as those.
