Have these been mentioned (deliberately omitting many of my favorites which
have been mentioned already)?
Better Off Dead
Tapeheads
A New Leaf (Elaine May is absolutely exquisite--but I am not sure it's
available on DVD)
Stripes (really, just about anything with Bill Murray)
Dogma (really, just about anything by Kevin Smith)
Barton Fink
Take The Money And Run
Hopscotch (I haven't seen it in a million years, but I remember loving it and
especially Walter Matthau in one of his usual brilliant comedic roles)
Spaceballs
(caveat: I would sooner pluck out my eyelashes, or watch a late period Woody
Allen film, than watch any Albert Brooks film)

yay, finally someone who's seen it. Let's not forge the tar and feather video
either.
I have to confess that I have not seen it since its premiere at midnight in
Kenmore Square in Boston a million years ago, but it still makes me laugh to
think about it (and this thread has prompted me to add it, and some others, to
my Netflix list [which I should finish watching sometime, oh, around 2525]).

When Tim Robbins and John Cusack toured talk shows to promote the movie, they were
supposedly so obnoxious they managed to get themselves banned from the Today
Show. I loved them for that even before I saw the movie. Now all I have are
vague memories of Connie Stevens and the Swanky Dudes.

Neil Young even did a couple of sets with
Devo...now that *was* weird.
On the movie subject, I never did understand if
'Silverado' was a comedy or just a lousy western?
But with John Cleese in it I'd assume it a
spoof yet the second half got a bit too serious to
be so?
But all the same, a great movie and the first half
definitely falls into this thread's subject line...
