Two movies before this era that were pretty damn good were Kentucky Fried Movie and Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex but Were Afraid to Ask.

The scene where Woody Allen is trying to break open the chastity belt of Lynn Redgrave is hysterical.

Also the scene were Burt Reynolds and Tony Randall are in the brain of a man as he is trying to get an erection for sex might be one of the greatest ever!

Spent many nights at the drive in watching The Groove Tube and Kentucky Fried Movie, always a double feature. Roll all the windows up, fire up an oversized joint and laugh our asses off all night long.

And all of the coming attraction spoofs.

Another great dark comedy that is hard to find is Divorcing Jack. If you can find it, it's well worth.

Death Becomes Her with Bruce Willis, Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep was underrated IMHO.

What Planet Are You From? with Garry Shandling, Annette Bening, Greg Kinnear, Ben Kingsley, Linda Fiorentino, and John Goodman
[Reply]

Love that movie, but it's a toss-up whether I love it more for the movie itself or how much Garry invested in it with his comedic sensibility and how blunt and hilarious he was in reaction to it flopping at the box office.

I always got a kick out fo Crazy People and the ads they came up with. I worked for one of the companies in the 90's that was used for some of the faux ads so I got particularly tickled with those.

I forgot about Fandango. That’s one I used to always watch when it would come on HBO.

Forgot about Noises Off too. Both good.


Death Becomes her is really underrated. Especially Bruce Willis in this movie. Plays the perfect beta.

Another 80s one people may have forgotten:

Lost in America

The Princess Bride

Another comedy in the spirit of Ruthless People is The Ref. Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis play a bickering married couple held hostage by Denis Leary. If you like your comedy with a nasty edge to it, this movie is for you.

Another great one I forgot is Dutch starring Ed O'Neill aka Al Bundy and JoBeth Williams

Laughed my balls off on that one!
[Reply]

Oh shit...Dutch. Yeah, that’s a good one too.

I’ll defend ‘Ishtar’ until my death.

I think it’s got some truly great bits in it. The Hoffman/Beatty role reversal is solid.

I’ve always liked it and think it got unfairly judged because of its budget.
