djw180 6,839 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Too many great comedy films to choose from. So I generated a random number between 1 and 100 and went to IMDB's 100 All Time Greatest Comedy Films and my pick is Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan Edited January 2, 2020 by djw180 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnaker1981 974 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Ok, I nominate “the great dictator”. Comedy is not my favorite theme, just because most comedies are Just someone and that just ruins it for me, usually. lets see if this works... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister 2,578 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Comedy is the best. Biggest problem in this world is that folks have eliminated (or never had) their sense of humor. Screwball, slapstick, etc is my favorite. Today I feel they rely too much on grossout and potty humor. Leslie Nielsen was GOD so lets go with Wrongfully Accused. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimeGreenLegend 4,175 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 It's the Oscars next month, and like last year we will be choosing a winner of the big golden baldie for our film. However, instead of best picture winners, which we did last year, we will be doing one of the following, which will be randomly drawn by @Con on Monday, if he has time: director actor actress screenplay (original or adapted) cinematography 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao. What had happened was, I was looking for The Disaster Artist (2018) and the stream service played The Artist (2011) I watched a few minutes waiting for James Franco and the color to arrive and it never did. I was pissed but intrigued at this B&W film, but had zero interest in watching it. A few days later, I gave the search another try and once again it played The Artist but this time I ended up watching the whole thing. I do remember liking it despite the B&W and silent format. This is the first time someone mentions it here and is why I never had shared that story before. 2 Quote RSC FILM CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
