Is that an uncommon one?

Ive seen it multiple times growing up

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Most quotable movie of all time.

[–] [email protected] 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.

Baby's Day Out

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

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.

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

Low budget, bad title, but absolutely hilarious movie.
