Re: Wacky movie that you remember

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Michel Caine, Steve Martin and Glenn Headly. It was on our local PBS station last night. No matter how many times I've watched it there are scenes that have me laughing out loud.

Re: Wacky movie that you remember

Wacky not only for the movies but for the double bill they were on.

It was the seventies and this cafe/ cinema in a collage town, showed, projected on the cafe wall, the 1966 Batman: the Movie, with Adam West and the gang. Campy, over the top, extended T.V. show.  and the 1968 Monkees movie: Head.  which was Most Definately NOT a continuation of their T.V.show.  Produced by Jack Nicholson, the disjointed  "plot"  seemed designed to drive the last nail in the coffin of the teenybopper phenom.  Some very pithy comments made if you cared to look for them.  With apperiances by some familiar faces.  Terri Garr, Frank Zappa, Annette Funicello, to name a few.  A very wacky pairing of two very wacky movies.

"Airplane" and "Young Frankenstein." 


'Airplane' is one of those movies that gets funnier and funnier every time you watch it.  All the sight gags - so much going on - its a classic.

 

Another poster mentioned 'The Producers' - another zany one.  I really liked ****** Shawn in that film.  So nutty.

 

One movie that is pretty wacky and pretty recent is called 'Why Him?'  It stars Bryan Cranston as the father and James Franco as the soon to be son-in-law.  The facial expressions alone that Bryan Cranston makes are just hilarious. 

 

Very rare for me to see a comedy that I actually find funny, but 'Why Him?' is one of them.

"It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"

I am really dating myself...love this movie "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"...my ex husband introduced me to it.  It is definitely wacky with a ton of big stars from the 1960's. Buddy Hackett is hilarious....

Bell, Book and Candle with Kim Novak and James Stewart.  Kim was a witch who put a spell on James to fall in love with her.  KIm's brother (Jack Lemmon) was  a warlock and her Aunt a witch.  Funny, Wacky movie and I love it.  In fact, it is one of my favorite movies.

Bird Cage with Robin William and Nathan Lane,  this movie is so funny.  The part where Nathan tries to dress like a man is hilarious.  Very good movie.

Ed Wood movies are so deliciously B grade. ♥

 

Also love the Airplane movies with Leslie Nielsen.
