Good Movies!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Well I'll backup 420 on Kung Fu Hustle and Big Trouble in Little China. Both are excellent and are good for meeting both action and comedy requirements. As far as action films go, an action film is an action film. The most recent Bond films have delivered well, but I stick mostly to the 80's and 90's stuff. One rule out is my favorite action movie to date, Croutching Tiger Hidden Dragon. You better have seen that one already. Also I really like Death Proof friom the Grindhouse pair. It starts slow but the last half really makes up for it.

Every time I see a preview for a new comedy I have to make a fortitude save vs. infectious stupidity or die. my personal list of favorite comedies include:

A Fish Called Wanda
The Princess Bride (good action too and plenty of kissing)
This is Spinal Tap
Galaxy Quest
Monty Python (add any addtitonal title)
Noises Off
The Big Lebowski

Noises Off was a straight to video release, and is the absolutely most hysterical thing I have ever seen, ever. Seriously I was literally ROTFLMAO when I first saw it and still I need to stop it halfway just to catch my breath.

Now I have some reccomendations outside of your requested genres because they are just plain good.

Cool Hand Luke
Brazil
Twelve Monkeys
Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas
(From those last 3 any Terry Gilliam film)
Metropolis
Apcolypse Now
Barton Fink
Rear Window
