Top Secret, by the same people who made Airplane. I think it's actually the funnier of the two.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
founded 4 years ago
MODERATORS
- Airplane (1980) - a million jokes a minute, and somehow most of them land
- Austin Power (1997) - To be honest, I like the whole trilogy. The shtick gets old, but I think each one could stank on its own.
- The Birdcage (1996) - I hate the son so much, but Nathan Lane and Robin Williams are great (Hank Azaria too)
- Bridesmaids (2011) - Been awhile since I've seen it, but I remember liking it
- I'm Gonne Git You Sucka (1988) - Another one that it's been a while, but some of it probably doesn't hold up
- Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
- Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
- Matilda (1996)
- My Cousin Vinny (1992)
- Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
- A New Leaf (1971)
- Office Space (1999)
- School of Rock (2003)
- Serial Mom (1994)
- Smokey and the Bandit (1977) - Jackie Gleason is great in this
- Step Brothers (2008) - Will Ferrell doesn't always work for me, but he and John C. Reilly we born to play these roles
- What We Do in the Shadows (2014) - I haven't seen the show, but the movie is great
I gave up thinking of comments for all of them, but here's my list.
You should really check out the What We Do In The Shadows series, final season just wrapped so it's a great time to get into it.
Office Space yep good rec

Kung Pow! Enter the Fist is the greatest comedy movie ever.
Shit, how could I forget this movie?
Jump that wall, if you're so great!
I am bleeding. Making me the victor!
Burn After Reading is one that I keep coming back introducing new friends too.
The Birdcage. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are a gay couple that have to pretend to be straight.
Bit of a Oblique recommendation but Jackie Chan movies have some GOAT physical Comedy
I have about a billion favorite comedy movies but a lot of the others were mentioned by someone else except for Super Troopers.
The opening scene is one of the funniest things I've ever watched, rest of the movie fulfills its promise IMO
Oh that's a good one. There's also the Swedish movie Kopps, which does have a few banger scenes and is overall decent.
Snatch (2000) - The Jewish and Russian mobs go on a joint venture to steal an 86 karat diamond from the Antwerp Diamond Exhange. After pulling off their heist, the stone goes through multiple hands in London's criminal underworld as various characters try to steal it for themselves.
Mean Girls (2004) - Cady has spent her whole life being homeschooled by her scientist parents all over Africa studying wildlife. But now her parents have brought her back home to the US and Cady finds herself a stranger in a strange land.
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (2004) - Two stoner fuckup slackers get the munchies and decide the only thing that will satisfy them are hamburger sliders from White Castle. The night goes awry when they find out the nearest White Castle closed. Neil Patrick Harris steals the show as he plays an alter-ego of himself that's a straight, horny, dudebro. A lot of lines in this movie were improvised.
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010) - Hillbillies Tucker and Dale are on vacation to renovate Tucker's newly inherited cabin out in the woods. One night they rescue a young woman who falls unconscious into a lake. The woman's friends, however, assume she's been abducted. Unfortunately for Tucker and Dale, these friends choose violence to get her back.
Bottoms (2023) - Two highschool girls decide to start a women-only after school fight club as an extracurricular activity so they can get into the pants of their cheerleader crushes.
Rat Race (2001) - A Las Vegas casino owner entertains his wealthy high rollers by holding a contest for a group of random casino guests to race to New Mexico where there's a dufflebag containing 2 million dollars.

other people are saying it but I'm saying Office Space too
It perfectly encapsulates the mundane horror of being a cog in the corporate machine which is very comforting to me as someone who genuinely cannot bear to stomach that type of environment - that inhuman, detached social behavior - and for that I love it immensely. I've had so many people treat me like I'm completely unhinged for despising corporate employment as much as I do, so seeing a whole movie that reacts to it the same way I do is downright relaxing.
just wish it had a better ending, but I still enjoy it every time I see it
Dr. Strangelove is one of the all-time greats.
Any Coen Brothers film is probably up there. Even their dramas are often laugh-outloud funny. O Brother Where Art Thou and A Serious Man stick out to me rn. Big Lebowkski of course.
I remember Obvious Child (2014) being a cute romcom about getting an abortion.
Lethal Weapon 2 (where the bad guys are South African fascists) and The Rock are great action comedies. So is Beverly Hills Cop.
Palm Springs (2020) was a pretty good Groundhog Day romcom.
Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums if you can handle movies about rich white people
Triangle of Sadness (2022) is a pretty funny one-time watch that features a Marxist captain who only listened to The Internationale and quotes Lenin.
While The Substance (2024) is a lot of things simultaneously it's also a comedy and it's fucking hilarious. If you get a chance to see it on a repertory cinema I'd highly recommend watching it in a crowd.
The Substance was just “me shouting ‘YESSSS’ for thirty minutes at the end simulator”
Oh I forgot I made posts in the past recommending Walker (1987) https://hexbear.net/post/259396, a satire on real life filibuster William Walker
And Beyond the Infinite 2 Minutes (2021) a very funny and impressive Japanese time loop flick that is done as a single cut https://hexbear.net/post/2076504?scrollToComments=false
I've seen Palm Springs yesterday, actually. Not too innovative in plot, but entertaining. Was a fun movie.
Also I watched The Big Lebowski last week and I was left thinking it's good, but no masterpiece. But now I look at it differently. It has a vibe few movies have. That Blues Brothers style this is an adventure, and we have sunglasses on. Gotta find more movies like that.
What We Do In The Shadows
I'd add Hunt for the Wilderpeople as another pretty great Taika Waititi comedy.
Dumb & Dumber, Hot Fuzz, Austin Powers (the first one sequels suck).
I don't ever watch comedy so I have pleb taste.
Austin Powers is fun. I recently watched all three with some comrades.
The first one is the best, true.
The penis enlarger pump bit always makes me laugh.
Does drunken master count
They Came Together made me laugh so hard during one scene I had to pause for a good few minutes to collect myself. Such a funny movie in general.

In the loop.
Good call. Death of Stalin is fun too
There's so many that my brain kind of seizes up, but I keep coming back to Freddy Got Fingered. Walk Hard was funny and I did enjoy How High if you like stoner comedies. The Dictator had some good laughs as well
Freddie Got Fingered was absolutely shit on when it came out, but it was SO AHEAD OF ITS TIME. Tom Green is incredible.

Four Lions (2009), Heathers (1989), Kung Fu Hustle (2004), UHF (1989)
"Murder by Death" which is sort of a parody of Agatha Christie type murder mysteries and also a parody of famous sleuth characters like Miss Marple, Poirot, etc. If you've ever seen "Clue" and liked it you would probably like this.
Doesn't that have Peter Slmellers playing a terrible Asian stereotype
I don't really get much into movies, but I loved Tommy Boy and Office Space as a kid. These days I think the last good comedy I saw was Keanu.
the passion of christ
Shot in the Dark is great, Peter Sellers is fantastic
Shame he was racist against Asians and it kept showing up in his movies. Really put a damper on his talent.
Yeah, he did one movie in brown face and it was extremely uncomfortable

Oh how could I forget Welcome Back, Mr. Mcdonald. A fine Japanese comedy that's hard to grasp but is incredibly rewarding upon rewatch. Watch this one and then watch it again the next day.
ctrl-f The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming

It's such a great movie about the Cold War and pokes fun at xenophobic Americans. One of my favorite comedies. They should do a sequel about China.
Never heard of it, downloading now, thank you!
