"Who is killing the great chefs of Europe" If you ever want to see great European humor akin to monty python's stuff this would be one! Grab some bugles cause it's a good one

Yo. That is a very specific movie, and I barely think it qualifies as a comedy. You should consider deleting your comment because it could be considered false information or a hate crime.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oscar is one of the funniest movies ever made.

No, I've just seen the movie probably a dozen times since it came out, it's a joy each and every time.

[–] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just because you enjoy it and find humor within it, doesn't me it's a comedy or a well regarded comedy. I'm sure there are twisted individuals who think Schindler's List is a laugh riot, but I would never associate with such a person.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's actually VERY well regarded. You just have never watched it.

[–] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, I've seen it.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

It's listed under "comedy" & "crime" on imdb.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Most quotable movie of all time.

[–] tapdattl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dirt Rotten Scoundrels - Michael Cain and Steve Martin play two con men in the French Riviera trying to out-do one another.

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that an uncommon one?

Ive seen it multiple times growing up

[–] tapdattl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Every time I bring it up with friends or coworkers they've never heard of it

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Vibes. Two psychics (Cyndi Lauper and Jeff Goldblum) are hired by a suspicious guy (Peter Falk) to find his son who went missing trying to find a fabulous treasure hidden in a lost Incan city located somewhere in the Ecuadorian mountains.

Crazy People (1990)

A feel like I can't describe it. It blows taboo and political correctness up to expose the BS in the advertising industry. It's fun and cute and I swear nobody has seen it.

Baby's Day Out

It's kinda like Home Alone where the bad guys are having a really hard time being bad guys.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

where the bad guys are having a really hard time being bad guys.

Doesn't that apply to Home Alone too? Now I want to see a remake of Home Alone where they're competent criminals.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's why I compared it to Home Alone. The big difference is the bad guys and the baby are out in the city instead of inside a home.

If Home Alone had competent criminals, I feel it wouldn't be a comedy lol

Renaissance Man with Danny DeVito and Bushwhacked with Daniel Stern.

Escanaba in da Moonlight

“It’s a disaster” https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1995341/

Low budget, bad title, but absolutely hilarious movie.
