What's Next?
Added 2021-02-24 19:33:21 +0000 UTCHiii Sorry for the silence! As you can imagine - this last week at work is HELL
Clue goes up tomorrow BUT help me choose what is next!
For March - I wanted to play off of March Madness - but not sports, MADNESS in general.
Comments
I have a suggestion for a film that probably most people haven't heard of. It's a comedy called "Brain Doners". I enjoy watching your reactions and I look forward to seeing more in the future.

2021-03-01 13:32:18 +0000 UTCDoes anyone know the movie Jesus' Son? It's a great movie and would fit the March theme well. It's from 1999, so a little newer than Ashleigh's usual picks, and stars Billy Crudup and Jack Black.
Lynnetta
2021-02-28 23:47:27 +0000 UTCWell, why not go with "In the Mouth of Madness" then...? :/
Manuel Johnen
2021-02-28 12:00:55 +0000 UTCEraserhead....a film about madness(among other things) that is also known to induce madness lol
Paul Johnson
2021-02-27 22:54:20 +0000 UTCNot too old, but what about "As Good As it Gets" ?
Christine
2021-02-27 03:19:20 +0000 UTCMoonstruck refers to temporary madness caused by the full moon. Just saying...
Kristen North
2021-02-26 18:08:59 +0000 UTCJust to add you totally need to watch WHAT ABOUT BOB? Bill Murray, Richard Dreyfus...It's perfect. Another good mental type movie is THE VOICES with Ryan Reynolds. I love that one, but it is a fairly recent movie.
Autumn Bough
2021-02-26 16:11:57 +0000 UTCI think It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World would be best. It’s slapstick zany and I’ve never seen anyone react to it.
Edward Landis
2021-02-26 15:57:09 +0000 UTCI'm thinking it's already penned in for March based on all the prior discussions of it.
Kristen North
2021-02-26 14:53:49 +0000 UTCI just watched Mad etc with a 9-year old and a Millennial and they both loved it, despite knowing almost done of the greats. In fact, it led them to look for more films by some of them.
Kristen North
2021-02-26 14:50:43 +0000 UTCThe tricky thing about this topic is that it includes a lot of really well done serious films like One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and I don't think those work for reaction videos. It's not fair to you to not be able to give it your full attention. Comedy and action/horror work because there are constant things with big responses but I just don't see it for dramas.
Kristen North
2021-02-26 14:48:34 +0000 UTC"The Ruling Class" (1972) The Ruling Class is a 1972 British black comedy film which tells the story of a paranoid schizophrenic British nobleman (played by Peter O'Toole) who inherits a peerage. O'Toole, whose performance is extraordinary, described it as "a comedy with tragic relief". The film was a commercial failure but has since become a cult classic.
Elliot Nesterman
2021-02-26 14:30:16 +0000 UTCThey live is perfect for madness. It's a John Carpenter movie. You know the guy that directed The Thing. It also has the longest fight scene ever
Mr Marvelous
2021-02-26 13:19:16 +0000 UTCI agree. What About Bob? Is excellent.
Autumn Bough
2021-02-26 12:56:49 +0000 UTCMy picks would be Stir Crazy then Ruthless People, then It’s a mad mad mad mad world (or however many mads there are) and One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest LAST!! It’s a rough one and I feel like you’d need a support Hubben for that one. I felt like it was rough anyway.

Gio Vidrio
2021-02-26 03:49:24 +0000 UTCB&J would be cute enough for the theme. And might also inspire "Wait, what's he doing, is that from Buster Keaton? I wanna watch one of those!"
Eric Janssen
2021-02-26 02:09:55 +0000 UTCInteresting choices. I’d like to add Benny & Joon to the mix of titles too.
Christian Rennie
2021-02-26 01:28:12 +0000 UTCYou cant have a month of madness without Donnie Darko
Kaysi Leach
2021-02-26 01:27:39 +0000 UTCYou’ll get your wish for a few of those. Per her POB livestream, what’s coming are: The Jerk, Big Trouble and Bueller, among others. Arizona and Caddy are already up. Last Christmas, everyone adv her to watch Vacation before Christmas Vacation, so it’s in the works too. No idea when. Top Gun is also coming, she said, so I’d be happy if she did Risky before that. Not sure if it holds up, but I love the quotes and adore Joey Pants. Nice start to Tom Cruise whom, idk if ppl realize, was a BO king way before MI.

Mr Marvelous
2021-02-26 00:07:55 +0000 UTCIt's called slapstick which this film has in droves, but it has much more. I won't give any spoilers. I will just say Rotten Tomatoes gives it an 83% audience reaction with over 10,000 ratings.
Wesley Eskildsen
2021-02-26 00:01:05 +0000 UTCGreat choice and it stars Madeline Kahn

2021-02-25 19:36:46 +0000 UTCAnd if you wanna see some real, real crazy, watch Sandra Bernhard in The King of Comedy.
Michael Buhl
2021-02-25 19:14:02 +0000 UTC"The Fisher King"(1991) has been mentioned before. It would be an excellent choice for madness month.

2021-02-25 16:44:37 +0000 UTCYou wanna see some crazy? There is no one better than Kathy Bates in the Stephen King adaptation Misery. It was her first major film role and she became the first actress to win the Best Performance Oscar for a thriller/horror film. Really good stuff.
Terrel Geer
2021-02-25 16:32:20 +0000 UTCHe was suggesting "Green" movies, although if we do "Green Book", count me out.
Eric Janssen
2021-02-25 16:13:28 +0000 UTCI'll second that--Funniest period drama in recent memory, even for those who don't remember Nigel Hawthorne from BBC's "Yes, Minister", and only maybe from "Demolition Man".
Eric Janssen
2021-02-25 16:12:17 +0000 UTCperfect "madness" with Bill Murry... "WHAT ABOUT BOB!"
Rick Rodriguez (PicoMan Photography)
2021-02-25 15:23:22 +0000 UTCI have to give it to Edward. I orig thought, like many, that not knowing the actors in Mad World would hinder the comedy. Then I remembered that they were before my time when I initially saw it as a kid. Having never seen the majority of the cast in anything before or since didn’t hinder anything. I loved it. I’m still curious to see if it will hold up. With older comedies, you never know if what was funny then will be funny today; but that has nothing to do w/casting.
Be Kind
2021-02-25 15:08:18 +0000 UTC"The Madness of King George"(1994) is another to put on the March roster. It's an historical drama about, well, the madness of King George III, its causes and consequences. It was nominated for awards in many categories and won several, notably Helen Mirren won in Cannes for Best Actress and Nigel Hawthorne won the BAFTA (Britain's Oscar) for Best Actor.
Elliot Nesterman
2021-02-25 14:49:39 +0000 UTCYou are correct in that it is a registered trademark rather than a copyright. I’ve corrected my comment. TY You are incorrect in that she can use a registered trademark as evidenced by the many articles that come up if you Google it. She cannot. Will YT flag it? Idk but why take the chance? I mean, idc if she does. I’m just trying to save her the headache. You can def use the idea of it, just not the specific term. She could say, “There’s a certain Madness that comes in March that’s related to sports; but I’m going to do my own riff on that called [the Madness of March] [Millennial Movie Madness] [ ? ] that’s related to ‘madness’ in general.” Also, using the trademark will invariably confuse some ppl expecting sports movies.
Be Kind
2021-02-25 14:32:28 +0000 UTCFor march madness I'd recommend What about bob (loved it since I watched it in the cinema on its first week of release). Dream Team with Michael Keaton. Misery. Cape Fear with Robert Deniro
Michael Johnson
2021-02-25 14:14:20 +0000 UTCAgreed. Rat Race was fun and the cast is decent (it's honestly worth watching just for John Cleese's teeth), but if you compare it to It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, it really is a pale imitation. One old movie that I think could be more successfully remade is The Long, Long Trailer with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. They are newlyweds who decide to buy a gigantic RV as their first home, and life on the road causes their marriage to implode while they're still on their honeymoon. Lucy and Desi aren't playing their characters from I Love Lucy, but there's a similar dynamic and a lot of great slapstick from Lucille Ball in particular that makes this a FABULOUS romantic comedy. Melissa McCarthy or Kristin Wiig or a number of other comediennes could probably do a decent job in Lucille Ball's role, and you could further update it to be one of those obnoxious tiny home couples instead of a regular RV if you preferred.
Staci McDaniel
2021-02-25 11:28:46 +0000 UTCAlso, you're not gonna see something like that again anytime soon... they kinda tried to replicate this kind of comedy in 2002 with "Rat Race" which was very much in the vein of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World", with VERY middling results...
Manuel Johnen
2021-02-25 11:08:32 +0000 UTCIt's older, so that's probably why it's not getting as many votes, but It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is SUCH an amazing slapstick comedy with an extraordinary cast (including: Milton Berle, Sid Cesar, Ethel Merman, Buddy Hackett, Mickey Rooney, Spencer Tracy, Johnathan Winters, Peter Falk, Buster Keaton, Don Knotts, Jimmy Durante, and even the Three Stooges!). It was the best ensemble cast of comedy you could have put together in the early 1960s, and it's weird and frantic and funny to this day.
Staci McDaniel
2021-02-25 10:05:48 +0000 UTCGotta go for Cuckoo's Nest to lead off a truly amazing film but I hope you do get to Mad Mad World an all out epic comedy
Paul Johnson
2021-02-25 07:54:37 +0000 UTCThe Green Mile is mostly a prison drama and has nothing to do with leprechauns, lol.
Edward Olson
2021-02-25 06:31:56 +0000 UTCTrademarked, not Copyrighted. She CAN call it that. They don't care about a movie reaction channel. It's not like she's saying her videos are NCAA basketball, and she's not using the name to draw basketball fans to her videos. She's not having a bracket competition. It's in honor of March Madness, you could say, referencing that her event is merely synchronous to theirs and not a competitive use.
Edward Olson
2021-02-25 06:26:58 +0000 UTCWhy do you need to give away anything? You don't have to talk her into watching it.
Edward Olson
2021-02-25 06:02:06 +0000 UTCNest I've never really seen except for pieces. It's more of a drama iirc. Stir has comedy in it. I prefer it. What about movies with "green" or fantasy creatures for March? "The Green Mile" I've heard of, no idea when, who is in it. Labyrinth, Dark Crystal... fantasy
ITPalg
2021-02-25 04:59:23 +0000 UTCThe first three on the list are great!!!!
WEEZER MANN
2021-02-25 04:42:33 +0000 UTCUnsure if you saw a comment on another vid about how March Madness is a registered trademark of the NCAA, so you can’t call it that. I rec Millennial Movie Madness maybe? 🧐
Be Kind
2021-02-25 04:13:43 +0000 UTCWell said Eric. I rather enjoyed Steel Magnolias, and Ashleigh loved it for many reasons despite the fact it broke her down. I agree there are some movies that have been requested that, of course, majority won’t agree on, but she gets invested into almost any movie really. The last 2 reactions were duds, so here’s to getting back on track with some thoroughly great films. ✌🏼

2021-02-25 02:04:27 +0000 UTCThere was no reason for anyone to watch Jackie Chan or Steel Magnolias apart from the people who requested those, and yet a fun time was had by all. If SOME people can like IAMMMMW, some people can like Psycho II, if it fits the monthly theme.
Eric Janssen
2021-02-25 02:02:45 +0000 UTCOh, we WISH! Unfortunately, it's hard enough to chop a musical with dialogue down for YouTube to avoid copyright, let alone rock operas without dialogue.

Bill Bevins
2021-02-25 00:16:06 +0000 UTCRuthless People has Danny Devito and Bette Midler and is very funny. Plot is basically wife of rich man gets kidnapped for ransom, husband refuses to pay because he hates his wife. Won't give away more than that.
Bill Bevins
2021-02-25 00:13:28 +0000 UTCYou have a way w/words. Your nonchalant slam of Mad World while also seemingly very appreciative of a much-needed nap is hilarious, as is your completely mediocre praise of Ruthless. I laughed for a solid minute. 🤣

2021-02-24 22:54:31 +0000 UTCI guess some people don't understand comedy if you think it was nothing more than "things being chaotically smashed."
Edward Olson
2021-02-24 22:50:47 +0000 UTCPsycho was one of her lowest-viewed reactions. Not much reason for people to watch Psycho II no matter how good it may or may not be. It wasn't even Hitchcock. No famous dialogue. Not a part of pop culture apart from its relation to the first one.
Edward Olson
2021-02-24 22:49:11 +0000 UTC12 Monkeys definitely embodies madness.
Edward Olson
2021-02-24 22:46:59 +0000 UTCOne Frew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is definitely the next choice, but Ruthless People is a great movie -- one of my favourites. (Love Bette Midler.)
Kitty MacAlpine
2021-02-24 22:30:28 +0000 UTCThere are no losing options here. I picked It's a Mad Mad Mad World, but I could just as easily picked One Frew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Stir Crazy is also great. I don't think I've seen Ruthless People, but hey, it's got Danny DeVito.
Michael Buhl
2021-02-24 22:19:00 +0000 UTCIf you think things being chaotically smashed is funny, it is. If you think a LOT of things being chaotically smashed for very LONG stretches of time isn't, it isn't.
Eric Janssen
2021-02-24 22:17:13 +0000 UTCNot a fan of any of those choices, but here are some recommendations: What About Bob, the Dream Team, a Time To Kill
David Crabtree
2021-02-24 22:13:18 +0000 UTCIt's a Mad Mad Mad Mad world is one of the funniest movies ever made.
Wesley Eskildsen
2021-02-24 22:13:04 +0000 UTCcuckoo's nest is one of my favs. Nicholson's best performance imho. And watch for Louise Fletcher's performance that garnered her a well-deserved Oscar.
Kristofer Foster
2021-02-24 22:04:17 +0000 UTCOkay, we NEED someone in the Reactor-verse to finally do Psycho II. It's that good. Since she already did the original last year, she's all set with backstory.
Eric Janssen
2021-02-24 22:03:39 +0000 UTCMarch Madness? Awesome, I recommend 12 Monkeys, Bruce Willis and Bad Pitts finest work, directed by Terry Gilliam (of Monty Python fame).
Crimson Possum
2021-02-24 22:03:31 +0000 UTCAnother award-winning film is APOCALYPSE NOW (1979). Sure it’s a war film, but it’s also about madness in the strictest sense of the word. Being driven mad in the loosest sense of the word would be: FATAL ATTRACTION (1987) Thriller/Drama OFFICE SPACE (1999) Dark Comedy WHAT ABOUT BOB? (1991) Comedy
Be Kind
2021-02-24 22:02:14 +0000 UTCAll of these are good picks! One Flew is some of Jack Nicholson's best work, imho--it's an emotional roller coaster though. If you would rather have a good laugh, you should definitely go with Stir Crazy :)
Karen S
2021-02-24 21:51:23 +0000 UTCI’m assuming we’ll have more movies in March and the madness theme will cover the whole month? If correct, might I suggest a different kind of madness ... like the serial killer kind? SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991) Thriller/Horror Why not get both those Oscar babies in one month? C’mon, you know you want to. Even if you don’t think so now, once you see it, you’ll be like, “Yeah, I FOR SURE wanted to see that.”

2021-02-24 21:42:49 +0000 UTCI voted for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest because it’s one that I am embarrassed to always say *I* haven’t seen! Maybe this will get me to watch it.
Heather Qualy
2021-02-24 21:41:41 +0000 UTCOkay, seriously ... WOW! Way to subvert expectations on the madness theme. It’s brilliant!! And the choices are fab-u-lous! 🎶 One of these is not like the others but in a league almost all by itself. It’s 1 of only 3 films in the history of the Oscars to win all 5 major categories. A must-see. My mom and I would watch Mad World on NYE. I barely remember it. I’d be curious to see if it holds up. Stir Crazy wouldn’t win any awards, but Gene Wilder shines. I still remember his best bits, and I haven’t seen it since it opened. Ruthless was a surprise hit. Very clever and you really like the main star. Perfect casting.
Be Kind
2021-02-24 21:40:13 +0000 UTCThought she liked Raising Arizona, not least for Nicholas Cage's ability to play a redneck to only the most expert local standards.
Eric Janssen
2021-02-24 21:37:50 +0000 UTCThe Nurse Ratchet series is downright OFFENSIVE: The producers wanted another Hannibal or Bates Motel to kiss up to the female-demographic "Bad Grrl"-fantasy crowd, but couldn't find any culty female serial killers in movies. So they took a Boomer-remembered movie icon meant to be a social criticism of real-life 70's hospital conditions, and turned her into a campy Baby Jane in a Halloween evil-nurse costume...Gay-misogynistic enough for ya? If Ash is expecting the series version to be in Cuckoo's Nest, BOY, is she in for a big traumatizing shock--Which I'm sure is the way Milos Forman would like it.

Mark Finley
2021-02-24 21:26:00 +0000 UTCI disagree. Knowing who the actors are isn't needed to get any of the comedy or story. There are a few meta moments where the casting is an inside joke, but it's not like, oh, this movie is 60 years old so no one should ever watch it again. That would be ridiculous.

2021-02-24 21:03:08 +0000 UTCThe first time I saw it was way back when you could go to a midnight double feature for $2.50. I forget what the other movie was. At the time I asked myself, "what the he!! am I watching. Like I said, when I think madness, these is the one that pops in my head.
Mark Dunham
2021-02-24 20:58:58 +0000 UTCShe has stated several times how much she loves Sarah Paulson who is in the TV show about Nurse Ratched. So if that is who she thinks Nurse Ratched is she will be disappointed. That show while claims to be about the same Nurse it painfully misrepresents the character. Plus the ages are completely off. But that's a different debate. My Millennial Gf wanted to watch the TV show and I had her watch the movie first so she wouldn't make that mistake. I love its a mad mad mad mad world so don't get me wrong. But without knowing these people I do think it takes some of the fun away. For me Jonathan Winters could just stand still and do nothing and I'll still laugh.
Bill Staley
2021-02-24 20:53:25 +0000 UTCHow about...Mad Max? :) (Ie., the '79 original, Road Warrior or Thunderdome, since the overpraised Movie Everyone Saw in Theaters and Thinks Is the Only One doesn't fit the "Millennial' theme. Personally, I'd give an 80's nudge to Thunderdome, but I know I'm in the minority.)
Eric Janssen
2021-02-24 20:45:46 +0000 UTCMUCH better than Stir Crazy. I remember we pretty much went to that one just for the "Yeah, we bad" scene, and nobody ever quoted anything else from it.
Eric Janssen
2021-02-24 20:44:10 +0000 UTCWhile It's a Mad^4 World fits the title, it's a MESS: Three hours long, and two of that is wacky cross-country driving. It's literally as if they made "Cannonball Run" in the sitcom 50's/60's.
Eric Janssen
2021-02-24 20:42:30 +0000 UTCPlease do Add it to your watch list Mark. It does have some great actors and a great comedic plot. I thought the plot was very original.
Bob Criswell
2021-02-24 20:41:54 +0000 UTCI know Ruthless people won't win but I love that movie because it's sleeper hit. It's got lots of stars in it. Even a Millennial might recognize most of them.

2021-02-24 20:25:54 +0000 UTCI definitely enjoyed One Crazy Summer. Better Off Dead was another one I liked with John Cuisak (sp?).

PickettsChargingPort
2021-02-24 20:23:56 +0000 UTCYou are intriguing me now. I'll have to add it to my watch list now. I don't know, or don't remember (from ads) what it is about. So I'm in the same boat as Ashleigh on this one.
Mark Dunham
2021-02-24 20:18:58 +0000 UTCIt’s A Mad Mad World is boring for a comedy but it gave me a nice nap. Ruthless People is a pretty ok movie.
Beth O'Brien
2021-02-24 20:15:57 +0000 UTCMad Mad Mad Mad World is one of my favorites!
Dave Leon
2021-02-24 20:15:44 +0000 UTCIf you like Abrahams & Zucker, you'll like this movie. Danny DeVito plays the bad guy as only he can play it and there are ridiculous twists and turns throughout the movie.
Michael Waldrep
2021-02-24 20:14:09 +0000 UTCI've never seen Ruthless People. I don't know why. Great actors and it's a Abrahams, Zucker movie.
Mark Dunham
2021-02-24 20:11:40 +0000 UTCA CLOCKWORK ORANGE is a Marmite movie - people love it or hate it. Surreal, brutal and about the only way to make it darker would be to shut the TV off entirely. I wanted to bleach my brain the first time I saw this but I'd rather have that then have two hours wasted by celluloid nothingness.
T.J. Gengler
2021-02-24 20:04:05 +0000 UTCI understand if you watch Cuckoo's Nest, it's a classic, but OMG Ruthless People is one of my FAVORITE comedies that I think you would enjoy! BTW, I love the "Madness" theme!
Michael Waldrep
2021-02-24 20:02:00 +0000 UTCThere are some sports movies that are good even if you don't care for sports (i don't). THE NATURAL, WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP, THE SANDLOT, A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, FIELD OF DREAMS and MAJOR LEAGUE. FIELD OF DREAMS is my favorite of these.
Mark Dunham
2021-02-24 20:01:49 +0000 UTCAnd she already knows Peter Boyle from "while you were Sleeping"

Eric Frazee
2021-02-24 19:56:08 +0000 UTCThat's another kind of madness with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a truer movie classic for sure... it might inspire me to watch Ratched on netlix now o.o
AM
2021-02-24 19:55:08 +0000 UTCOne Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is one of my top 10 films of all time. Everyone is so young. Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, Louise Fletcher... Amazing! I can't even tell you how many times I've watched it. I was four when this came out.
Jill Peterson
2021-02-24 19:53:22 +0000 UTCIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World has more movie, small screen, and stage stars per capita than any other movie ever. It could lead to years worth of movie suggestions. Yes, it's long. Yes, Ashleigh won't know any actors. But it's funny and shows what can truly turn people mad! Plus, no one else has done a reaction to the movie on YouTube.
Thomas Ivie
2021-02-24 19:53:08 +0000 UTCBut she has to watch certain Hitchcock films to get High Anxiety.
Edward Olson
2021-02-24 19:52:25 +0000 UTCThe Dream Team is hilarious. Perer Boyle was great in this movie.
Bill Bevins
2021-02-24 19:51:36 +0000 UTCCuckoo's Nest is a great film. It might bring you down a bit tho. I turned off Mad, Mad World halfway thru, got bored. Ruthless People and Stir Crazy are both v funny, but I picked Cuckoo's Nest coz I think you'd "give it" to young Jack Nicholson
PieHard13
2021-02-24 19:50:43 +0000 UTCFor the crazy theme- Mel Brooks film High Anxiety. I know you like Mel. Not in the same league as Blazing saddles or Young Frankenstein but fun.
Eric Frazee
2021-02-24 19:50:40 +0000 UTCEverything about your 1. has nothing to do with the movie. About 3. Ashleigh doesn't know anyone in ANY movie (just about).
Edward Olson
2021-02-24 19:49:37 +0000 UTCYou ain't kidding! Love me some Slim Pickens. The first movie that comes to mind when you say madness is A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
Mark Dunham
2021-02-24 19:49:22 +0000 UTCAs much as I love "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World," it's a long, slow comedy that hinges on knowing the main comedians and ALL of the cameos to fully appreciate it. "Stir Crazy" is a great pick, especially since if you like it you can watch "Silver Streak" at some point! Oh, and seconding Mark Finley's recommendation of "The Dream Team." "We are all NAKED in the eyes of the Lord!"
Christopher Lee O'Brien
2021-02-24 19:49:21 +0000 UTCThis channel is literally about out-dated movies. MMMM World is one of the greatest works of comedic film EVER.
Edward Olson
2021-02-24 19:49:02 +0000 UTCLove and hate this poll. Love every movie listed, hate having to choose. Went with Stir Crazy but I hope Ashleigh will eventually do them all.
Bill Bevins
2021-02-24 19:48:37 +0000 UTCI like three of these. Hard choice to pick. One is a little different that the other two I have seen. So I voted for it. I haven't seen Ruthless People.
Mark Dunham
2021-02-24 19:46:40 +0000 UTCI mostly agree with this. Being able to recognize the actors in the film and and already knowing why they're important helps but there's still some chuckles to be had without that knowledge. Just not very many to fill three hours.
T.J. Gengler
2021-02-24 19:46:32 +0000 UTCSilver Streak is a better Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor movie. Love it! Great soundtrack too
Eric Frazee
2021-02-24 19:46:18 +0000 UTCABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO THE RESTORED CUT. It's actually incomplete with sections that are stills/set photos because they lost some footage. Some sections are work print quality. The restored cut is for completionists and film buffs and historians. P.S. I own the restored cut.
Edward Olson
2021-02-24 19:45:55 +0000 UTCI was mentioning "Hear no Evil, See no Evil", with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, the other day, but "Stir Crazy" is a good one too. Oh, and "Ernest Scared Stupid." HA!
William Wall
2021-02-24 19:45:25 +0000 UTCHa, I've been thinking of suggesting Stir Crazy so this worked out pretty well for me.
Tony Williams
2021-02-24 19:45:25 +0000 UTCThere is a Michael Keaton comedy called "the Dream team" with an all star cast that seems to fit the bill of what you're looking for. You would like it. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is BRUTAL. Great film, but a very heavy subject
Mark Finley
2021-02-24 19:42:34 +0000 UTCShe can do it in two parts. She definitely needs to see It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. It's long but there has never been a faster paced comedy EVER.
Edward Olson
2021-02-24 19:42:18 +0000 UTCStir Crazy is amazing
Michael Johnson
2021-02-24 19:42:17 +0000 UTCAll are good movies and completely different. I chose One who flew for a couple reason. 1. You like the actress who plays Ratchet in the new series. Which is a SJW version that has nothing to do with the movie or book. 2. It's ranked as one of the top movies every made. 3. While Mad mad mad is more fun since you don't know any of the allatar cast in it. You may not enjoy it aa much.
Bill Staley
2021-02-24 19:41:17 +0000 UTCIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is a total waste of time. It is over-long and out-dated. At best, it's a curiousity but only if you know a lot about comedic actors of the era. I say don't bother.
Terrel Geer
2021-02-24 19:38:54 +0000 UTCWith Stir Crazy you get to see Gene Wilder again!
Billy Dancel
2021-02-24 19:38:10 +0000 UTCVote logged but if it's madness you want then DR STRANGELOVE is the prime example.
T.J. Gengler
2021-02-24 19:36:53 +0000 UTCMad Mad Mad Mad Mad World! It’s long, but it’s such an epic comedy!
Robert T. Nickerson
2021-02-24 19:36:36 +0000 UTCI hope if you do watch Mad World it will be the restored 197 minute cut. The film was dubbed The Comedy to End All Comedies!
James Moyner
2021-02-24 19:36:27 +0000 UTCI'm unfamiliar with ruthless people, but those are some solid choices
ingibingi2000
2021-02-24 19:36:04 +0000 UTCI would say Mad Mad Mad Mad World, but movie is damn near 3 hours long, and I don’t know if you wanna go through that. Other than that, it’s hilarious, but I gotta give it to Cuckoo’s Nest.
Gio Vidrio
