Looking for comedy reccos
I think ive seen all the classics, but there must be some lesser known gems?
Preferably films of artistic merit, but Im quite happy watching trashy, lowest common denominator, Will Ferrel or Seth Rogan type flicks too.
I don’t care as long as they make me laugh. Usually a good sign is if Kermode hates it!
ive reached an age where I don’t want to inflict sadness and despair on myself, so struggle to sit through commendable works about serious subjects these days.
I watched The Night Before on Prime last night. PMSL!
Trading Places
the other guys
I like trashy American comedies like Deuce Bigalow and the criminally underrated Deuce Bigalow 2.
Zombie Land?
I’m halfway through the Death of Stalin on Netflix.
What do you find funny?
In Bruges, as a recommendation.
What We Do In The Shadows.
Or the Jackass movies.
The Young Offenders
Trading Places
'By the way, food and rent aren't the only things around here that cost money'
Aaand pause....
Damn tracking needs adjusting
😬
Tucker and dale Vs evil. If you've never heard of it or seen it, don't do any research on it - it's one of the funniest films I've seen in the last few years, but it hits so much better if you go in blind.
Tucker and dale Vs evil.
Exactly what I came here to say, you beat me to it by 50 seconds.
I’m halfway through the Death of Stalin on Netflix.
An absolute gem, but I'm sure it's the kind of rib-tickler the OP requires.
In Bruges
This too.
Neither of the above are wall to wall laughter - to their benefit IMO.
There's the Big Lebowski too.
Yup.
And if you like Tucker & Dale, try The Final Girls.
Excellent film.
Trollhunter is well worth a watch.
I think it's hilarious. 🙂
Fear Of A Black Hat.
Genius.
Think I'm the only person who's ever seen it though.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Mall Rats
Happy Gilmore
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
Old School
Anchorman
Mall Rats is probably the only 'less well known' on my list of personal faves.
Was going to suggest something else*, but can't beat tucker & dale vs evil as above - it's really good. I did just stumble accross it blindly - would recommend.
* role models
Weekend at Bernie's for a 80s throwback.
Blades of Glory - my Dad thought it was going to be a War film..
Damn tracking needs adjusting
LOL you need a four-head VCR mate.
The Double
Happy Gilmour
Idiocracy
The Watch
Ant Man
If you like stupid films and spoofs,
Loaded Weapon
Top Secret
Airplane films
Naked Gun films
Spaceballs
Galaxy Quest
Scary Movie (first one, others are rubbish
Dude, where's my car?
Your Highness
Blades of Glory
Ferrel's best.
Has anyone said Kingpin yet? If not, Kingpin.
On a Seth Rogen tip I thought This Is The End was really underrated, and not a film but Future Man is brilliant.
Raising Arizona
Mall Rats is probably the only ‘less well known’ on my list of personal faves.
On that note, Clerks.
I have a theory that the bigger the budget Kevin Smith has, the worse the film is he produces.
Talladega Nights!
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (that’s the title of the film by the way)
Best in show
Good call!
Top Secret too, I'd forgotten that one. 🙂
The Producers and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid if you've somehow managed to miss them. Neither exactly obscure though.
Great thread some absolute classics
Tucker and dale Vs evil.
I have this saved on Tivo , going to watch it tonight
Animal house
On a Seth Rogen tip I thought This Is The End was really underrated,
Yep, we enjoyed this... included on Netflix too
Clerks
Very much this 😃
Small Time. Shane Meadows early masterpiece. Worth it for the wigs alone.
freddy got fingered (love the film but some people hate it)
Dark Star - must be funny as my kids hate it
Restless Natives.
Blazing Saddles
Sailor Beware.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World
Big Trouble in Little China
Tropic Thunder
National Lampoon's Vacation.
The dog went on the picnic basket!
I'd second Blazing Saddles and Top Secret, if you've never seen either nows the time to watch them.
