mutant Posted May 16, 2015 What?? noone mentioned Monty Pythons? Love all their work, including most of it that didn't came as Pythons work, like f.e. A fish called Wanda (what a film!) and Eric the Viking... Not many know that Fear and loathing in Las Vegas was directed by the only US Python member, Terry Gilliam, a film that works better as a psychedelic comedy with a meaning, rather than a stoner film. Best works: "the holy grail" , "Life of brian" , "meaning of life". The first seasons of the FLying circus are pretty amazing too. Also often missed is the comedy , darker and surreal by definition, of master director Louis Bunuel... Works as Viridiana, Simon of the desert, The discreet charm of bourgoisie and even Exterminating Angel feature some of the most sarcastic material of this amazing and important director. Of course I will have to mention two of my fave animations South Park and Futurama - Simposons the movie was pretty awesome too! I am not really actor oriented, rather genre and director oriented.. absolutely love carlin... and hicks, but carlin is the king, the best of the best IMHO. Lewis CK is okay .. dont really like old-school stand up, not that I have seen much... any recommendations for good intellectuall / extreme stand up is really welcome... any good ozzies? I also like Steve Martin LA story must be the most fucking awesome and nostalgic romantic comedy.. and I am not particularly inclined in the genre, even though I thought As good as it gets with Jack Nicholson was pretty ace at that too. How could I forget? I absolutely love the early works of Almodovar. The dude is simply amazing in his first two decades, doing many extravagant comedies or awesomely crafted blends of drama and comedies. Films like Kika or Labyrith of passion and many more are surely worthy of seeking! one of a kind director! very cool black comedy / compilation of short films with a dark comedic twist is "wild tales" (2014) executive produced by aforementioned Almodovar.. Very cool film! I have to include one of the finest dark comedies of all time , the danish "adams apples" , along with the directors other works "green butchers" and "flickering lights", but adams apples is the most awesome of the three IMO. Also, the amazingly surreal "rubber" of 2010... clearly a love it or hate it film, I loved it, along with canadians directors other input ... miss the name now.. === in the more twisted fun department there's of course the ozzie masterpiece Bad boy bubby, Several of the early films of John Waters, not limited to the notorious Pink Flammingos, Todd Solondz's Happiness and Wellcome to the dollhouse or even the more classic black comedies Eating Raoul, Death becomes her, The burbs a.o. or the more femminist horror commedy oriented Teeth , or the awesome 1985 zombie comedy classic Return of the living dead one of the most known horror comedies are Evil dead 2 (hand sequences) and the famous and much loved :Braindead of Peter Jackson, a splatter commedy horror masterpiece . Peter Jacksons early comedic horror material like Bad Taste or the Muppet show spoof were of the finest samples of lowbudget cinema with some serious talent behind.. Not so many know "Body Melt" , an ozzie gem from 1993, a satire masked as a horror film... the list could be really long here.. I suppose I like crossovering genres (both in music I like it) so I am not really into straightforward comedy. I even have a "multi-genre masterpieces" directory in my film collection.. Have fun! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

incognito Posted June 5, 2015 I cannot believe will Anderson is mentioned in this thread. Worlds most unfunny human being,-ever. I would pay to see shit run down a wall before I saw his show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted June 5, 2015 Anyone remember milo Kerrigan the ex boxer from the fast forward skit? I remember as a child I used to laugh until my ribs where injured. That was Shaun macaulef? (Spelling?) If so that was the best thing he's ever done. Early 90's fast forward was hilarious well it seemed so back then. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
