“Requiem For Dream” is incredible. Hard film to watch, but one basically everyone should see at least once. Also, “Trainspotting”.
Nick of Time
2021-06-12 12:07:42 +0000 UTCConsider watching Once Upon A time in America (unabridged version) or Requiem For A Dream for serious stuff. Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Batman: The Movie (1966) with Adam West for something not as serious.
2021-06-04 18:20:47 +0000 UTCMaybe "Idiocracy " or "Map of the human heart" comedy and drama, both really good.

2021-06-03 08:03:46 +0000 UTCI think you'd enjoy the 1988 romantic comedy "Working Girl." It stars Melanie Griffith, Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, and Alec Baldwin, with many wonderful actors in supporting roles, including Olympia Dukakis. It also has one of the best title songs ever, Carly Simon's beautiful and inspiring "Let the River Run." I think you'll especially like the 80s big hair and big shoulders.

2021-06-02 22:57:53 +0000 UTCI think you would like Crimes of the Heart . Maybe even Cousins

2021-05-29 16:14:31 +0000 UTCI think you would get a kick out of True Lies, Soapdish and French Kiss
Michelle Denny
2021-05-29 06:14:17 +0000 UTCAlso Michael Palin's character's name Ken may(or may not)be a reference to Ken Shabby, a recurring character he played on the "Monty Python's Flying Circus" TV show
Paul Johnson
2021-05-29 01:10:27 +0000 UTCFor more Jamie Lee Curtis, check out True Lies. You'll probably love it. 🙂

2021-05-28 21:24:22 +0000 UTCI saw it first run and found it extremely funny and very well constructed. I was not at all disappointed. Being familiar with Cleese's post-Python work in Fawlty Towers I was not expecting Pythonesque absurd humor but a straight ahead comedy. I recall Cleese saying in an interview that it's always difficult to come up with something comic that is original, but he was very pleased with the hanging out the window scene. Starting the shot with the camera upside down in close up and then turning it to reveal the full scene was an effect that neither he, nor the director, had ever seen done. Usually the camera just cuts to the person upside-down, so there's no surprise. No surprise isn't funny; surprise is.
Elliot Nesterman
2021-05-28 18:37:53 +0000 UTC“Funny, but not outstanding” was always my reaction too, since we’d already seen John Cleese do funnier slapstick farce in his Fawlty Towers series, and here, he’s practically the straight character with Kline getting all the gags. That, and the whole plot of the movie revolving around Cleese’s neurotic offstage phobia of Americans, which also got a little distracting in Monty Python’s Meaning of Life. Now, if you want good “pseudo-Python”, we’re still waiting for more than one reactor to react to Time Bandits....
Eric Janssen
2021-05-28 16:28:37 +0000 UTCKline was a serious stage actor, until his talent for deadpan clowning it up had been discovered in the 80’s stage and movie of “The Pirates of Penzance”, and Cleese cast him for the comedy role based on that. Due to a mixup, though, nobody ever SAW the Pirates of Penzance movie in theaters, so Otto falsely got all the credit for “inventing” Kline’s comedy career. (And I know Ash’s got a copy of Soapdish, but what about the ‘99 Midsummer Night’s Dream?)
Eric Janssen
2021-05-28 16:21:39 +0000 UTCI really like Kevin Kline. Dave, French Kiss, In & Out, Soapdish, etc... And True Lies needs to make the list, if not already there.
Luis Torrefranca
2021-05-28 15:41:34 +0000 UTCCool Monty Python links...those reactions were very funny
Paul Johnson
2021-05-28 15:09:18 +0000 UTCSide note, nobody on the internet has ever done a reaction to O’ brother where art thou. Which you would love.
2021-05-28 14:33:10 +0000 UTChaha Ash has a Nakatomi plaza shirt
eric brown
2021-05-28 14:10:49 +0000 UTCFun fact: John Cleese's original family name was actually Cheese. His father changed it to Cleese. He once joked about changing it back after moving to Monterrey, California, so he could call himself Monterrey Jack Cheese.

2021-05-28 05:07:12 +0000 UTCIf you love Jamie Lee in this, you should watch Trading Places some time soon.
Terrel Geer
2021-05-28 04:17:07 +0000 UTCMaking a Disney connection for you - Kevin Kline (Otto) played Belle's dad in the live action Beauty and the Beast, and he was also the voice of Pheobus in The Hunckback of Notre Dame. (my favorite Disney movie btw).
Lynnetta
2021-05-28 03:48:53 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you enjoyed this film Ashleigh. It's always been one of my favorites and watching you view it with fresh eyes brings it all back. Thank you very much for the experience. I know you said you found Otto very unlikable but I ask you to please not let it dissuade you from watching more of Kevin Kline's work. I believe the man is truly very talented with excellent comedic timing and a flair for darkly dramatic roles as well. He's definitely an actor worthy of further investigation.
T.J. Gengler
2021-05-28 03:36:36 +0000 UTCHave you seen her in Halloween? Or the Stepford Wives with Katharine Ross from 1975?
2021-05-28 02:43:17 +0000 UTCJohn Cleese's character was named Archie Leach. Archibald Leach is Cary Grant's real name.
Bill Bevins
2021-05-28 02:40:48 +0000 UTCAnother movie that has John Cleese AND Kevin Cline (among other actors) is Silverado. Truly a must see!

Ashleigh Burton
2021-05-27 17:26:00 +0000 UTCWELL... I didn't.
Ashleigh Burton
2021-05-27 17:25:43 +0000 UTCI thought Ken looked familiar but I just couldn't place him!
Ashleigh Burton
2021-05-27 17:25:34 +0000 UTCI like the movie more than you do, but 4 out of 5 stars is fair. I think you'll like Jurassic Park.
Michael Waldrep
2021-05-27 17:06:59 +0000 UTCIt’s such a good movie! It’s clearly not for everyone but I’m glad you enjoyed it. Well I can’t wait to see your reaction to “Welcome to Jurassic Park.”
Gio Vidrio
2021-05-27 16:22:10 +0000 UTCI am SOOOOOOO looking forward to seeing your reaction to this movie. It's one of my all time favorites. Off to watch now!
Rebecca Monk
2021-05-27 16:20:06 +0000 UTCShe was also pretty hot in Trading Places.
Bill Bevins
2021-05-27 15:50:41 +0000 UTCWatch true lies That was actually Jamie Lee Curtis’s favorite project to work on
Dylan
2021-05-27 15:49:23 +0000 UTCKevin Kline is one of my all time favorites, largely because of this movie.
Kate Cassidy
2021-05-27 15:41:49 +0000 UTCGirl, you’ve got to see True Lies. Jamie Lee Curtis is incredibly funny in that and she’s a smoke show.
Kate Cassidy
2021-05-27 15:39:37 +0000 UTCYou're not *supposed* to like Otto or Wendy :)
Sinjoro Griego
2021-05-27 15:33:38 +0000 UTCFYI. Michael Palin was one of the members of Monty Python.
Billy Hogner
2021-05-27 15:02:03 +0000 UTCIf you can call an Academy Award winning movie "underrated", ok...
Thomas Yanez
2021-05-27 15:01:05 +0000 UTCKen/Michael Palin is also part of Monty Python. Also Trading Places is a must for around the holidays!
Matt G
2021-05-27 14:40:40 +0000 UTCThis is in my Top 20 films of all time. All the characters are quirky and hilarious. Otto and Ken are my favorites. Hope you get around to seeing this groups 2nd film Fierce Creatures. Oh and on a side note Kevin Kline won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his role as Otto.
thumperworld
2021-05-27 14:33:00 +0000 UTCThis film is under rated IMHO. Can't wait to watch your reaction. Thanks.
Tony Williams
2021-05-27 14:06:10 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite comedies of all time. Kevin Kline was brilliant in this. I have the DVD. Will do the watchalong later tonight.
