I think you would enjoy it. I’d also thoroughly recommend Taika’s earlier film Boy, it almost made my list.

reply

I shall add it to my ever burgeoning 'to watch' list.

reply

O brother is my favourite Coen movie but I don’t consider it a pure comedy.

reply


Be careful to not compare this place to any other web sites, or you might get your wrist slapped, like I did.

reply

It's important to include the year. You don't want the one with Martin Short.

reply

It's very hard, there are so many. It's like parents choosing their favorite 10 from 100 children.

Shaolin Soccer (2001) - It has special place in my heart cause it's my first DVD I bought. Quentin Tarantino recommends the movie.

Shaun of the Dead (2004) - the only zombie movie that I watched more than once.

The Naked Gun (1988) - I just did a rewatch few days ago.

Borat (2006) - Just watched Borat 2 last night and it's terrible. Not even comparable to the first which was a masterpiece.

Hot Shots! (1991)
Tropic Thunder (2008)
The Mask (1994)
The Dictator (2012)
Idiocracy (2006)
Mr. Bean (1997 TV series)

reply

Yes, very hard indeed.
