Office Space: is one of my all-time favorite flicks, not just for comedy
movies. It's a simple and fun film to watch, and it's a hilarious spoof of the
dismal "corporate drone culture." It's also a great assessment of
some of the problems in the workforce.
The primary characters, Peter, Samir, and Michael Bolton,
were all appealing, and the other characters were also fantastic (Milton being
the standout, in my opinion).
A well-written comedy with a fantastic mood and a lot of quotable lines. I'm almost certain you'll see this film on television at some point.
The comic pairing of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is fantastic,
as is the rest of the group. I think the film's many relationships were handled
exceptionally effectively, which added to the "comedic horror"
suspense surrounding "who would live and who would die?"
A wonderfully "British" film with zombies thrown in for good measure!
The Big Lebowski: is a film based on a true story. Like Office Space, another of my all-time favourite films.
The Big Lebowski has a fantastic atmosphere and "the
Dude" is an iconic character. It's also a typical Coen Brothers film in
terms of being distinctive, weird, and existential. I appreciate that this was
a mainstream film that addressed Nihilism's theory. "Lebowski, we don't
believe in anything! “This film belonged to Jeff Bridges and John Goodman”.
This is a fantastic film.
School of Rock: is a band from the United States. This is a
well-received comedy, yet I still think it's "underrated." I adore
the film's overall concept of having a "failed slacker rock
guitarist" substitute teach at a renowned school before taking entire
control of the classroom and bringing out the best in his students. To put it
mildly, main character Dewey Finn was a "fish out of water" at that
school.
This film marks a high point in Jack Black's career. That dude was electrifying, and his acting was nearly as good as his singing!
As Phil Connors, Bill Murray brought both dramatic and comedic
abilities to the part. Also, after seeing this movie, I think I had a
"celebrity crush" on Andy MacDowell because she's so "down to
Earth girlie."
A fantastic comedy with outstanding character development from
the main character, Phil.
Here's a quick rundown of my five favorite comedies. So it's a
big part of my existence.
