Comedy Suggestions? - Blu-ray Forum

Valkyr47 · 07-07-2009, 03:18 PM

So far for comedies on blu-ray i own:

-Office Space
-Tropic Thunder
-Forgetting Sarah Marshall

looking to get a few more in my collection. I just recently picked up Sarah Marshall after it came highly recommended from several sources... to be honest i hated it. Didnt find it nearly as funny as the other apatow productions, too much like a chick flick IMO

Even though i love superbad, knocked up, and 40 year old virgin im holding off in purchasing those blu-rays because ive seen them so many times already

the other movies that i havent seen yet but have been mentioned are:

-Zack And Miri make a porno
-Role Models
-Pineapple Express

are any of these good? i normally dont like stoner movies (aka half baked) and i have never seen a kevin smith movie that i liked

but im trying to branch out here

or, if you have any other great comedies that i havent mentioned please recommend away

also, PQ is pretty important to me, as long as its considered an upgrade from the DVD

thanks!

Of these I would rank them as follows:

Pineapple Express
Role Models
Zack and Miri Make A Porno

They are all funny and entertaining, I just really liked the action elements in Pineapple Express more than the other two and the little African-American kid Role Models is hilarious, which pushes that past Zack and Miri.

I would also suggest the three Mel Brooks movies available on blu:

Blazing Saddles
Spaceballs
Young Frankenstion

They are all hilarious parodies as only Brooks can do.

If PQ is really important, then perhaps you would like Bottle Rocket from Criterion, the PQ is fabulous although many people are not fans of Wes Anderson and/or the Wilson Brothers.

At the risk of being flamed, I recommend Ghostbusters.

MaCruz · 07-07-2009, 03:29 PM

Dumb & Dumber... it's a classic!

MaCruz · 07-07-2009, 03:32 PM

Coming to America or Hitch.

What "flamed", this kid's been reciting the Slacker Ghetto list (Office Space, Tropic, AND Pineapple??

), he NEEDS our film-literacy help!

I'll see your "Ghostbusters" and raise you "Trading Places", "Coming to America", and throw in "Blazing Saddles" as a "Spaceballs" chaser.
And also suggest that we lock him in his room with armed guards until he watches all of them. Extreme measures, perhaps, but we must help the emergency cases.

Ghost Town

i dont mind grain, as long as detail is high

btw, is that GSP in your avatar? good luck against alves this weekend

going to be quite a fight

CMM · 07-07-2009, 03:46 PM

If you like Superbad/Knocked Up then you'll like Pineapple Express.

Zack and Miri was okay but I think it's the worst one and Role Models was pretty funny but not great.

Go for Pineapple Express

Well, you got the Apatow bunch which BTW most are 16:9

Classics like Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles

Too bad we have to wait for Hot Fuzz and Shawn of the Dead
