Recommend me a recent film that is funny.

[billy_bob]

The Odd Couple? It's not very recent. But "You leave me little notes on my pillow...'we are all out of cornflakes, FU'. It took me two weeks to work out 'FU' was 'Felix Unger'" - come on!

 

[Big Gunz]

Not a recent film but try Scary Movie 2. Do it stoned even better.

Problem with asking for a recommendation for a 'funny' movie is that it's like asking to be recommended 'good music'. It has to be done by someone with similar tastes to yours for it to work.

I don't remember watching any really funny movies this year (or recently)... Nothing that made me laugh out loud anyway. 'Submarine' is very sweet though, and probably the most upbeat movie of the year so far.

i have Submarine - I may watch it tonight. Bit put off by the protagonist's voice though. Where's he supposed to be from?

No idea, don't remember his voice being annoying...

Welsh maybe?

 

[Orang Utan]

no it definitely wasn't welsh. it was, just...odd. maybe somewhere obscure in the midlands. looks like it was filmed in hastings though

If you haven't watched it, I recommend it. I liked it a lot (gave it a 7 on imdb)! (but then again we might like different things in our movies...)

edit: from reading some of the reviews on imdb it's set in Wales (Swansea)

What's the name of the Brit black comedy about a company that go on a team building holiday in Eastern European countryside? That was good.

 

[butchersapron]

No, it was was danny dyer shit. Ha ha my foot got spiked and i can't keep up.Oh goody me am being eaten

 

[Corax]

That in reply to mine? What was it called?

 

[butchersapron]

Twats in eastern soviet europe on a works course, and danny dyer is cheeky

 

[Corax]

You're no bloody help at all you.

 

[Corax]

Severance.

I enjoyed it. Sure it's not a work of any intellectual or artistic merit, but it was entertaining. I like bubblegum for the brain sometimes.

(I remembered it being Simon Pegg instead of Dyer. Amazing how the mind protects itself isn't it?)

 

[butchersapron]

A not bad film to piss away a hangover sunday afternoon.

 

[Callie]

he has apparently seen the film though!

 

[butchersapron]

It got remade recently as well. I've seen all sorts of films callie.

 

[hmmph]

requiem for a dream?

 

[Corax]

Exactly! That's all you want sometimes.

I bet you have.

I havent seen any funny films for ages, or scary ones.

The lack of decent responses means there must be something going on. There used to be smug middle class comedies of recognition at the very least.
Austerity Britain.

 

[Callie]

but what could it be?

 

[TruXta]

Quite enjoyed that one.

 

[butchersapron]

but what could it be?

Fear

 

[Callie]

of you?

OU - did you ever watch The Guard?

 

[TruXta]

Austerity? Plenty of good comedies made in the 80s wasn't there?

 

[Orang Utan]

maybe i'm just depressed and/or getting old and miserable
i did enjoy severance though, one of the better 'danny dyer shit' efforts. they're remaking it? why?

 

[butchersapron]

Austerity? Plenty of good comedies made in the 80s wasn't there?

The 80s wasn't a recession. What year was trading places made?

 

[Orang Utan]

of you?

OU - did you ever watch The Guard?

nope, couldn't find a rip of it

 

[Orang Utan]

The 80s wasn't a recession. What year was trading places made?

83.
i love that film

 

[butchersapron]

of you?

Of people not putting money into films that might not bring back the profit. If comedy doesn't look like selling...i don't know, off the top of my head
