It depends on what kind of humor one likes. Some like physical humor... eg govinda movies in 90s, and most of the bollywood comedy movies. You are supposed to 'keep your brain aside' to watch these movies.

But in bollywood, they always expect people to keep their brains aside while watching a comedy movie. Why cant they make intelligent movies with good humor!


Anyway, i will try to recall a few :-

Gunda(don't make a mistake of watching it with family )
Clerks
The Big Lebowski
Austin Powers trilogy
Matrubhoomi (though it is a serious movie, first half has a bit of dark humor)
In Bruges
Andaz apna apna
Pushpak
Fight Club
Trainspotting
Snatch
Borat: Cultural learnings of America for make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan
Beerfest
Harold and Kumar go to white castle
Chupke Se (2003) - I am sure many of you haven't even heard of it. Give it a try.

[ajaybc]

OMG...please....no more Govinda+David Dhavan movies.
I have had my dose through Doordarshan when we had no cable connection.U have to shut down ur brain and the whole nervous system while watching those movies.

I havent commented on any Bollywood movie in this thread yet.....but I have seen people commenting on "Sing is Kinng" as crap, stupid jokes, exaggerated humor etc..etc ....True I agree but I still would say to make a senseless stupid comedy that still makes to giggle, light heart...... maybe not at all occations is still not that easy to make. If you loose the line it become an out an out cheap journey.
I like corny comedy as long as it manages to hold the thin line between corny and cheap, and in movies like these there are occations when that line is crossed but given the frame in which these movies are projected you can expect that at some parts in the entire episode. But eventually you loose nothing. Most of the people come out saying its was Bakwas but Bindass Bakwass....


BTW I have yet to see those Chaplin Movies I commented briefly couple of pages ago.
In the mean time saw The Prodigal Son. An out an out true martial art movie. I love this kind of actuall hand to hand combacts. Awsome fight sequences. I will rate this one among my top 5 Martial art movies, along with Knockabout, which I guess is my top one till now. Incidently both of them are directed by Samo Hung. Fans of Martial Arts not to miss this one.......

[ajaybc]

Saw Saving Private Ryan just now.
Classic,Brilliant.
Brilliant direction,superb acting,casting,sets,special FX,sounds.....everything
Greatest movie ever made.

Dead Mary - 6/10
Fright Night - 8/10

[sam9s]

Fright Night - 8/10

Fright Night was a cute movie, I watched it when I was a kid...u made me remember a long forgotten movie......Another movie which comes to mind is Frightners, quite decent movie with Michael J Fox in memorable role....you will like it if you liked fright nights.

BTW Ally you didnt comment on my Chaplin post...

[eggman]

Batchna Ae Haseeno- It promises to be an entertainer. And it hits bull's eye.....A pure entertainer , good to kill 2.5 hours!!! Nothing new , so-so performance, avg script, mediocre direction...but in the end it all turns out a good combination!! 3.5/5

[Pathik]

End of days - 6/10

[shantanu]

I saw Fright Night on Zee MGM long back.And since it's rainy season the weather just made me pick up the DVD & watch it all over again.It was truly a horror classic & had those really cheesy 80's feel to it which I always like.I need to watch Frighteners again too.Thanks for reminding.

BTW Ally you didnt comment on my Chaplin post...

LOL! I wasn't a big Chaplin fan, just vaguely remember my school days when they used to take us into this Audio-Visual room & air some of his small clips.That's about all I can recollect.

Singh Is Kinng was OK.The start was extremely goofy & the end was almost the same.Akshay Kumar is one of the finest actors of this industry.He has got utmost potential in him.Given a good scrip he could perform extremely well.But in this movie most of his character was wasted.He has few good moments & that's just about it.Some emotional moments are the saving grace & Katrina Kaif (for the followers ).

I can atleast let that movie go but if you watch Ugli Aur Pagli, you experience on of those moments when you want to literally grab hold of the director & strangle him to death for making such a garbage movie.Films like this makes me sad to say we still keep hopes floating in Indian cinema.The industry is loosing it's touch every single day.Blatant plagiarism of song, scripts & dialogues is just a mundane thing for today's directors.No one bothers thinking out of the box & just rely on spinning off Hollywood movies.What's more they even deny it saying it's not at all similar instead of giving credit to the original makers.Sohail Khan's argument for the movie 'God Tussi Great Ho' not being a copy of Bruce Almighty is so great that it makes me want to kiss his feet.He claimed (before the movie released) that we had no right to pass a comment on this film being taken off Bruce Almighty before it actually being released (WTF!).He moreover puts the biggest joke of all & says "Our movie has 5 songs in it, Does Bruce Almighty have any?"

Why you little ignorant prick? The promos are enough to indicate this movie's plot is a CC of Bruce Almighty.And did he forget the song "I got the Power"

Sorry for being so uptight but this had to be brought up.

Thankfully this was a good film.I can safely say it wasn't too corny but pretty good.Ranbir Kapoor acted very well & did I forget to mention how cute Minisha Lamba looks? Surprisingly good movie.

That's the lamest of all excuse!!!! I wish he is sued his ass off!!!


THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT- A surprisingly great film. It's about a man who can go into alternate universes by changing certain past actions and reaching to an universe thats a consequence of the particular action. The topic was great and execution was perfect. High on entertainment and fun factor . 9/10

DONNIE DARKO- This was recommended to me as a 'similar' movie to THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT. The topic it to an extent similar, but execution is different. However I didn't like it that much. The pace was slow, fun factor was low. An moreover, I kinda sensed the end quite early. Seems like it tried too hard to be a complex film. 6/10

[Pathik]

The Pursuit of Happyness - 9/10

[hellknight]

Hellboy 2 ~ 7/10
Forgetting Sarah Marshall ~ 8/10
The Simpsons Movie ~ 11/10

you talkin bout Kevin

LOL! I wasn't a big Chaplin fan, just vaguely remember my school days when they used to take us into this Audio-Visual room & air some of his small clips.That's about all I can recollect.

Same here man even I wasnt kind of BIG fan of chaplin. For me chaplin was a just a good time pass. I didnt even know chaplin made full feature films that too few in talkie......untill I stumbled upon The Great Dictator on UTV's WM channel. That made me rethink what chaplin was, and then when I dug his work......... and watched his last few movies. I realised how great an actor he was. He still manages to hold that cutting sense of humour with absolutely amazing talent on how to put sarcasm on screen, given the fact the movies were made in 1940!. I'd still say giv it a try. Any serious movie buff, with some serious seriousness in hollywood got to to have/see Chapin Collection.

I can atleast let that movie go but if you watch Ugli Aur Pagli, you experience on of those moments when you want to literally grab hold of the director & strangle him to death for making such a garbage movie.Films like this makes me sad to say we still keep hopes floating in Indian cinema.The industry is loosing it's touch every single day.Blatant plagiarism of song, scripts & dialogues is just a mundane thing for today's directors.No one bothers thinking out of the box & just rely on spinning off Hollywood movies.What's more they even deny it saying it's not at all similar instead of giving credit to the original makers.Sohail Khan's argument for the movie 'God Tussi Great Ho' not being a copy of Bruce Almighty is so great that it makes me want to kiss his feet.He claimed (before the movie released) that we had no right to pass a comment on this film being taken off Bruce Almighty before it actually being released (WTF!).He moreover puts the biggest joke of all & says "Our movie has 5 songs in it, Does Bruce Almighty have any?"

lol I know how it feels. I had the same feeling with "Fanah"....I know few people would defend but I dont know for me fanah was a torchure, it was sooooo monotonous and mundane, I cant tell you. Its one of the poorest movie for me.

But I dont agree that our industry is loosing touch, there still are creative people out there who can bring some splinded work like Khosala ka ghosala and Bheja Fry on screen. People like Nagesh kuknoor and Madhukar Bhandarkar have brough some very original concepts on screen......last but not the least out good old Aamir Khan gave us an amazingly beautifull movie Taare zameen par....so dispite of the usuall crap and scrap I think our industry is moving in the right direction.........
