Couldn’t do those lines or that scene today.
I’ve used “I hate Illinois Nazis” in almost every imaginable context.
Gary Cole should’ve gotten a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for “Office Space.” Stephen Root, too.
Some of these should be classified as satires, not as straight-up comedies. Strangelove, The Graduate, et al, are not comedies.
Mr. Mercat and I are going to watch these in the order they are listed, skipping a few like any Woody Allen movies. We watched some like it hot last night. It was well done, entertaining but probably a lot funnier in the 60s.
The Inlaws with Alan Arkin,
I’ll
check it out.
Watching,
“Oh Brother, where art Thou?”
Comedy?
Not Sure.
I love it!
I’m happy you liked it.
My favorite line from the movie ...
“Well, I must be going.”
“Oh, sir, would you?”
LOLOL
A great comedy team was Bob Eliot and Ray Goulding
One memorable routine ... the slow talking guy.
Then there was Tex Blaisdell, a drawling cowboy singer who also did rope tricks on the radio.
Oh sir, would you? LOL Uncle was a test of patience and polite society. The doctor office scene was awesome, but then I am partial to cats.
Stephen Root has been a favorite through the years. ALWAYS working; vastly under-rated!
I read that because of his character in OS, the stapler company had to start making that red stapler he popularized (which had been discontinued some years earlier).
I’d believe it. I know how possessive *I* was about *my* stapler during my days as an Office Drone, LOL!
“I’ve used “I hate Illinois Nazis” in almost every imaginable context.”
Lol
I laugh just thinking of lines in What About Bob.
