The Jerk is one of my favourite movies, but it's surprisingly rare for me to find someone else who knows it exists.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 33 points 1 year ago (4 children)

My greatest comedies of all time:

  1. Airplane

  2. Naked Gun

  3. Blazing Saddles

  4. The Jerk

Any of those 4, and you will cry laughing.

You would also likely enjoy "Top Secret!"

It's number 5 lol. I miss Val Kilmer. What happened to him is a damn shame. Life can really be a fucker sometimes.

Christian Science is a fucker always.

Although it's made tremendous contributions to the arts by killing musicians' moms.

Other than James Hetfield noone springs to mind in the category "Musicians' moms killed by Christian science". Who else were you referring to?

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They got three songs out of Maynard James Keenan alone.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks. I did not know that, but after reading into it 10000 days now feels a lot more personal.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It also lends gravitas to the otherwise ooh-so-edgy "Judith" by A Perfect Circle.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I need to re-read the lyrics to that song, it's one of my favorites by APC.

You ever been to a Turkish prison?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

You like movies about gladiators?

As someone who also loves that one and considered Airplane the best comedy, I concur. I'll also add both Hot Shots movies to that.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

we should start a new thread for all time comedies.. what about Real Genius? Brain Candy? Better off Dead? Caddyshack? Something about Mary?

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want my two dollaaaaaaaaars.

[–] lnm225@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.

[–] Bighappee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What's a little boy like you doing with big boy smut like this?

[–] MamboGator@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The only one of those I still haven't seen is Blazing Saddles and I really need to rectify that.

Weekend at Bernie's is at the top of my list.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Isn't anyone gonna help this poor man?

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Dude. Now... As ASAP as possible. And when you're done, watch it 5 more times.

Fun fact: first movie to ever feature a fart.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, you do. Comedic masterpiece.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ten years ago I would've added Idiocracy. 7 years ago it became a documentary.
