Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

Individual non-reference jokes in Robin Hood were okay.

If you don't like Young Frankenstein, I am not sure if I want to know you. ;)

Spaceballs still holds up, b/c Star Wars is still a behemoth franchise.

Well thanks for thinking about it though.

I'll divide these into classic and modern to avoid some of the inevitable confusion.

Classic:

Ball of Fire
It Happened One Night
(The Fred and Ginger movies) (I'm collectively bolding them, sue me)
(All of the Marx Brothers) including Horse Feathers
(All of Chaplin) including The Freshman

(All of Keaton)
(All of Harold Lloyd)
The Thin Man
My Man Godfrey
She Done Him Wrong
The Bank Dick
His Girl Friday
Arsenic and Old Lace
Sullivan's Travels
Irma La Douce
Our Man in Havana
King Hearts and Coronets
The Lavender Hill Gang
Bringing Up Baby
Born Yesterday
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
Palm Beach Story
The Man Who Came to Dinner
Harvey


Modern:

The Producers
Dr. Strangelove
Young Frankenstein
Airplane!
(All of Woody Allen) (I'm collectively bolding them, sue me)

Animal House
The Big Lebowski
Shaun of the Dead
Holy Grail
Austin Powers
The Lego Movie
Blazing Saddles
Slap Shot
South Park
What We Do in the Shadows
Clerks
EuroTrip
Borat
Spinal Tap
Scott Pilgrim
Groundhog Day
Idiocracy
Anchorman
Life of Brian
Sausage Party
Zoolander

Two great movies I intentionally left off:

Some Like it Hot, because I hate it but I know that's my fault.
Being John Malkovich because it makes me very sad so it doesn't work for me as a comedy. Eternal Sunshine probably fits here, too.

I realize both these movies are masterpieces but I can't appreciate them.

Point of order: the first Austin Powers.

The 2nd was was okay, and the third one sucked balls.

First was best, second was awful, third brought it back a little.

Oddly, same with Scary Movie.

Scary Movie, the first was AWESOME. The rest sucked arse.

And "Not Another Teen Movie" is still, far and away, the best of that genre.

Oh yeah. "No, no, no, no, anyone but her! Not... Janey Briggs! Guys, she's got glasses and a ponytail! Aw, look at that, she's got paint on her overalls, what is that? Guys, there's no way she could be prom queen!" Anything that points out what a steaming pile of **** "She's All That" was is great in my book.

And almost every time you watch it, you catch another subtle reference. It was so well done.

I considered both. I'll add them.

Monty Woolley's Sheldon Whiteside is one of the greatest obscure movie characters in history. We are among the last people who aren't film studies majors who will ever know him, and that is a shame.
