Its common in nz but maybe not in the rest of the world. Boy is pretty a pretty good comedy-drama.

Just watched this last week. The acting is atrocious but it doesn't detract from the film in any way whatsoever

Absolutely brilliant and a must-watch, just for the story and scenery

The Court Jester (starring Danny Kaye)

Old school movie from the 50s era. Still screamingly hilarious today.

I don’t know how many people watched or loved this movie but I absolutely loved Hot Shots when I was a kid.

Happy Texas (1999). Haven't seen in in decades so not sure how it holds up, but I've got memories of it being hilarious.

Guesthouse Paradiso. It's hilarious!

Guest House Paradiso.

Batshit insane English humor. Got to love the style, but if you do, it's fantastic.

The Castle and Kenny, are both excellent aussie comedies. They're kinda like feature length dad jokes.
