This remains her best overall film and performance, the story of a stand-up comedian who has to deal with a few of life’s unexpected curveballs. She’s always charming, has great comic timing, and seems to find new dramatic registers with each outing.
A parody of tales like those of the Knights of the Round Table, Holy Grail is one of the most heavily quoted movies of all time, a comedy that feels like it’s playing in some theater somewhere in the world, probably at midnight, every single day. There’s a bunch of Monty Python specials and movies on Netflix, but this remains arguably the career peak of one of the most beloved comedy troupes of all time.
The reboot may not have worked like Sony hoped it would be, but we’ll always have Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in the original to make us smile. The original sci-fi/comedy has had much longer legs, now delivering its quirky blend of genres to a new generation. Remember when they rebooted and updated Men in Black with Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson? Yeah, we don’t really either.
It’s easy to see the Lonely Island comedy voice developing in this story of a goofy stuntman trying to perform the biggest stunt of his career to save the life of his irascible father. Relatively ignored and critically derided at the time, Hot Rod has developed a loyal cult following over the years. Long before Popstar and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Andy Samberg starred in his first Lonely Island project and first major film after Saturday Night Live. And it’s held up so much better than most early ‘90s comedies. It’s not just the clever premise but how much co-writer/director Harold Ramis and Murray inject humanism and truth into it. Murray stars as a weatherman forced to relive the same day over and over again until he gets it right. Believe it or not, this 1993 Bill Murray vehicle wasn’t that rapturously received critically or commercially when it came out, but it’s become a beloved genre classic. Relive one of the best comedies of all time over and over again on Netflix. It’s one of those films that doesn’t have much of a plot but works because of the genuine, empathetic way it approaches its leading lady, a character who feels both incredibly specific and yet universally relatable at the same time. She co-wrote this quarter-life crisis comedy with director Noah Baumbach, in which she stars 27-year-old New Yorker Frances Halladay. Greta Gerwig got a lot of deserved attention for Lady Bird but it wasn’t her first semi-biographical screenplay, and maybe wasn’t even her best. Great physical sequences mixes with a very hip ‘80s sensibility to create a classic comedy that could be a hit if it came out today. The pitch is so beautifully simple: the most popular kid in high school takes the day off and gets into trouble in Chicago while driving his sister and principal insane. One of the most popular comedies of its era turned its title character into a household name. Like The Disaster Artist and Ed Wood, this is an ode to DIY filmmaking with not just a great performance from Murphy, but Wesley Snipes and Keegan Michael Key too. That part is the flashy personality that was Rudy Ray Moore, a washed-up musician who transformed himself into the character of Dolemite. Believe it or not, they did find a way to string together the hysterical shorts into a movie with a story, although the highlights are still the mean questions asked to people like Benedict Cumberbatch, Will Ferrell, Gal Gadot, Tiffany Haddish, Jon Hamm, Matthew McConaughey, and many more.Įddie Murphy is back! It’s been a long time since we saw this version of Eddie, who reminds us how funny and charismatic he can be with the right part.
