Thumbtanic (2000)
My face muscles still hurt from laughing so hard
All I can say is, I haven't laughed this hard in years! I had to leave the room so that I wouldn't stop breathing or have a heart attack, it was that funny!! If you've seen Titanic (1997, the Rose and Jack version) then you'll probably appreciate the humor in this movie.
About a Boy (2002)
Extremely well done, hilarious movie
First of all, this movie is an excellent portrayal of human nature. Although the main character is self centered, "An Island" as he puts it, his honesty about his own shallowness is great. It's worth watching over and over again to catch all the clever jokes and other lines in the movie that were missed the first time. Not that the plot of the movie isn't clear, it's just so loaded with great and obviously well thought out detail that you not only MUST see it, but you MUST see it several times.
One last thing worth mentioning about the movie is that the music in the movie is really good. It turns what is a really good movie into a masterpiece.
The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980)
My favorite film of all time
Why this film is a MUST SEE (not necessarily in this order):
First of all, it's educational. It's full of interesting tidbits (as far as I know are true..) such as how the Bushman live, how the children play, etc.
Second, the MUSIC in it is wonderful. For example, when the people of the village greet the school teacher, they sing a beautiful song. I really grew to appreciate the music of Africa after seeing this movie.
Third, the way the PLOT builds, is really clever. There about 4 different stores happening, (The bushman going on a journey to get rid of the "evil thing", the school teacher getting away and starting a new life, the microbiologist who's afraid of women, and the group of terrorists up to no good.) The personalities in the movie, and the different points of view at which the stories get told, are great! They're just classic. For example, the vein tour guide that makes the other guy look like a schmuck.
Fourth, simply put, it's HILARIOUS!
Lastly, the scenery in the movie is astonishing, especially at the end.
This movie needs to be released on DVD.
