All right guys, I'll say something. I'm not much with lists of actors or actresses. Of course the actors previously listed were good. I'm more of a "evaluate individual movies" kind of guy. Lists just don't do it for me. Yeah, I saw "The Martian", but didn't read the book. The movie was OK, meh. I know too much science, unfortunately, to have been able to adequately suspend disbelief for that one. The whole time I was watching it, things kept happening that made me think, again and again: "That's impossible. No way it could ever happen that way." Martian soil cannot be farmed, period. Hydroponics may work, but Martian soil is devoid of organic matter and full of toxic minerals. And on, and on. Any comedies anyone wants to comment on, guys? I'll be brave and mention my favorite comedy: the original 1983 "National Lampoon's Vacation" (where they go to Wally World. Laughed from start to finish on that one. Favorite scene is too full of bad language to repeat, but if you've seen the movie, you will remember it: it's when Chevy Chase freaks out in the car at his family in the middle of a horrible downpour in Phoenix. "This isn't a vacation anymore, it's a quest. A quest for fun. I'm going to have fun, you're going to have fun, we're all going to have so much ...." Reply #269. Jan 24 18, 11:39 PM |

Man, nothing beats a great comedy that will make you laugh all the way through it. There are four I can think of right off the top of my head that did that for me - My Cousin Vinny, Kingpin, Meet the Parents and Tommy Boy. Oh, and Happy Gilmore. No way I would ever get tired of watching any of those. Reply #270. Jan 25 18, 1:16 AM |

Comedy, to me, is personal. It is a little bit different for each individual. For example, Monty Python, I have some good friends that just can't stop laughing when they watch any Monty Python movie, me, I don't find them funny in the least. I enjoy Adam Sandler movies, I know, most people don't. I loved the movie "Used Cars," also "Stripes," a good animated movie cracks me up, like "Monsters Inc' or "Toy Story" or "Shrek." Different strokes for different folks. I do enjoy Film Noir, generally speaking as a genre. Reply #271. Jan 25 18, 8:52 AM |

I liked Meet the Parents and Toy Story. I usually enjoy it when an actor who has made a whole career out of a serious part is willing to parody himself, as Robert DeNiro did in Meet the Parents (and also Analyze This). On the animation front, I also liked The Incredibles. I've seen some film noir, and probably liked The Maltese Falcon the most of what I've seen, but it's been so long I don't remember much of it. But a great parody of film noir is the Steve Martin movie Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, which includes multiple clips of old film noir linked with the ridiculous plot. As for actors willing to parody their whole personas from careers of serious work, the absolute goldmine is Airplane (just look at Robert Stack, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Barbara Billingsley, etc.) in that movie.

There are so many little off the wall things in that Airplane movie. Like when this one guy in the background is like "Nick! Heath! Jared! There's a fire in the barn!" Ha! I love that. The Monty Python thing is something we have in common, Mark. I just don't find any of that stuff amusing at all. Same thing with that Borat character that everyone just thought was so hilarious. Funny how that character just kind of floated away like a fart in a hurricane. Reply #274. Jan 25 18, 2:49 PM |

You ever seen a grown man naked? Ha! Man, you guys are making me wish I could see that movie again. Yeah, that part with Barbara talking jive was pretty hilarious. You guys know how a lot of radio station deejays - I'm assuming more so the rock and roll stations - will sometimes play a quick line or two of dialogue from a movie or a TV show before they start a song? Well, a number of years ago my favorite local station was playing a line from a Leave it to Beaver episode now and then. The line was Barbara saying "Well, if I know your father, he's out looking for Beaver." Of course, "beaver" being a slang word for something today that it was definitely not a slang term for back when that show was made! Reply #277. Jan 26 18, 4:12 AM |

No offense, but I have never found Chevy Chase to be funny. I didn't care for any of the Vacation movies, the more of them that there were, the less I watched. Reply #279. Jan 29 18, 10:36 PM |

To each his own. I would hardly defend the acting skills of Chevy Chase, but the original was written by John Hughes and directed by Harold Ramis, and in defense of my own tastes I will point out that I turned 20 in 1983, and at that time (the 80s), just about anything written by John Hughes (mostly teen angst movies with Molly Ringwald) tickled my funny bone. So yeah, I'll admit it: I liked Mr. Mom, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Uncle Buck and other John Hughes movies. I think the beginning of the end for John Hughes was when he sold out to broader general audiences with Home Alone. Yes, I know that was, by far, his most successful movie, but he never did anything edgy or creative after that and pretty much disappeared from the movie business and coasted on his laurels after that. And while Harold Ramis is best known for Ghostbusters, he was successful as both an actor and a director. He passed away a few years ago at a relatively young age, which was unfortunate. He had been in Stripes with John Candy and Bill Murray, which I also enjoyed. And directed Caddyshack, which, yes, I thought was hilarious. Chevy Chase works for me in small doses. Caddyshack was an ensemble piece. Each character, Michael O'Keefe, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, and particularly Ted Knight, had a small but key role in the insanity that was Caddyshack. Hated the sequel. Sequels usually are worse than originals. Reply #280. Jan 29 18, 11:28 PM |
