Genre Films: Comedy

Before Mel Brook's became a total sellout starting with Life Stinks, he directed three perfect comedy classics and a few funny little gems, this being one of the classics. Gene Wilder is brilliant as always and Brooks drives joke after joke in a near perfect two hours of film. The front cover of the movie ad doesn't lie when it says it's the funniest comedy of all time.

It's ridiculous how amazing this movie is. Watching back some clips on Youtube, I notice the subtle things that just pop out at you without even realizing it. Woody Allen is a comic genius, and this is his masterpiece hands down.

My favorite Wes Anderson film as of now. You've got to give credit to Jason Schwartzman's performance as Max, as he was a completely unknown actor at the time. It was the start of a great collaboration between him and Anderson. Oh and Bill Murray is in too. This has classic written all over it.

If the world is destroyed by a giant monster, I vote for Stay Puft the Marshmallow Man to lead the destruction.

Basically Will Ferrel's best comedy. He hasn't been able to match this sort of talent yet.

Slap-stick comedy at it's best. Groucho Marx is amazing.

Gets an "A" for Suicide is Painless, alone. An additional "A+" is added for the acoustic version sung by the black man. Classic.

I really dug the Chaplin-esque style of humor Woody Allen performed here as it has a uniqueness from the rest of his movies. The sci-fi aspect was also well handled and a great spoof on all the movies depicting the future, especially the joke about Hal in 2001. And the Marxist regime; well that was just drop dead funny.

It's amazing how much I missed the first time I watched this. The visual gags are hilarious and everything Leslie Nielson does will put a smile on your face.

"You don't understand Orson, I'm a man!"
"Well, we can't all be perfect, can we?"

Instant classic, re-watchable over and over again.

"Do you like your quasi-futuristic clothes Mr. Powers? I designed them myself."
