If you like old movies, there is The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) and The Ladykillers (1955). There is a remake of the Ladykillers from about 10 years ago, but it is awful.

Really?

I thought the Tom Hanks version was great and it's actually one of my favorite movies.
Like foreal.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Well, different people have different likes. I thought it was awful, and I don’t think I laughed once. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Let’s see if someone else chimes in here as the tiebreaker.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78628) 5 years ago

Certainly not up there with the brother's best but I really enjoyed it too, Hanks and Wayans were good fun and the little old landlord lady was a good character

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

The original was not great either. It’s a great concept, that should still be done again. It could be done a lot better than either of these.

[–] StoneKeeper (28418) 5 years ago

I found it just alright the first time and on rewatch I actually rated it 7.5/10!!

Kelly's Heroes has some comedic moments, an odd mix a heist film set during a war.

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 5 years ago

[–] StoneKeeper (28418) 5 years ago

Oh yeah! It’s one of my favourite movies.

My ratings:
Turbo kid: 9/10
Stuber: 7/10
7 psychopathes: 7/10

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 5 years ago

Although i was looking for "comedy / crime "
Post apocalyptic is another favourite genre of mine, so Turbo Kid went down well. Theres not many Post Apocalyptic comedies that spring to mind.
except Six String Samurai
..and "Beach Party at the gates of hell" or whatever it was called :)

[–] StoneKeeper (28418) 5 years ago

what did you think of 7 psychopathes?

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 5 years ago

Very good! quite the indepth plot , rather than the "smokin aces" type thing i was expecting going off the title :)
