Comedies We Love

We've got a special episode for the Next 195 Project as we rave about—yup, the title isn't lying—our favourite funny films. It's the will-never-be-topped, locked-in-stone BEST comedies ever (subject to change at a moment's notice), but we mentioned probably another 200 or 300 flicks on top of those Top 10 beloveds. First, though, you'll hear us jam about some awesome comedy actors & directors, then we batted around some honourable mentions of terrific flicks full o' laughter. The phrase "scene-stealer" was used a lot. Take a drink for each one. We also butchered a few classic quotes. Plus, Ryan re-ranks AFI's Top 10 of their "100 Years, 100 Laughs" list. So get ready to have pleasantly sore cheek muscles as we spend nearly an hour spreading some comic delight all around.

Well, Actually: The producer Tom Cruise is parodying in Tropic Thunder (at least with his wacky appearance) is Stuart Cornfeld, who must be tight with Ben Stiller because they've worked together several times.

The King And I

June started on this podcast with a fast-cutting musical in Moulin Rouge. Now I end the month talking about an old-school Technicolor song-and-dancer...and it was an award-winning mega-smash. The King...

Airport

The podcast rulebook says you have to cover a plane movie for episode #747, so I went with the daddy of the '70s disaster craze. The planes are 707s in Airport, but oh well. George Seaton writes & dir...

The Last Laugh

F.W. Murnau didn't live long enough to direct a huge slate of films, but the man bullhorning The Last Laugh also has Nosferatu, Faust and Sunrise on his resume. Like those, The Last Laugh is a silent ...

Only The Lonely

The key word is charming in the 745th edition of Have You Ever Seen. Only The Lonely has John Candy playing a single Chicago cop who lives with his widowed mother (Maureen O'Hara). He's an extroverted...

The Rock

It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Wel...

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...

My Darling Clementine & Gunfight & Tombstone

I put a jaunty bow on Heroes Month with another multi-movie episode. For #742, I'm mostly talking about John Ford's My Darling Clementine, but there's a bit at the end about John Sturges' Gunfight At ...
