An amusing, short, actually supportive review of the critically lambasted film -- aka "The Greatest Film of ALL TIME" --- Citize--- I mean, Death Wish 3 of course!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

(which I -- perhaps very unexpectedly -- gave a 7.5/10 some years ago and promptly promoted it into the higher ranks of my Best Comedy Films list)

Can't wait to revisit this -- hopefully this round -- and see how well it holds up, or maybe just maybe, drop it to its more "objectively accurate" score of 3/10... ๐Ÿคฃ

Seriously though, very little can prepare you for just how bat-shit this film gets...

Best Comedy Films

NOTE: This is not a list that is ordered exclusively by how funny the films are (absolute funniest at the top, least funny at the bottom). It is more accurate to say it is a list of the best films where comedy (including black or darker comedies, comedic-satires, and so on...) happens to be a major genre/theme of the selection, listed in order by their overall quality (as in my overall criteria: emotionally, conceptually, creatively). It would also be more accurate to say that the higher on the list, the more ingenuity and meaning the comedy will tend to have on average. There are some films (lower on the list) that have made me laugh harder than some, or even most, of the films higher on the list. However, the films in the higher rankings are more significant experiences, better overall films (usually in more ways beyond comedy alone) and their comedy, even when it is not being "laugh-out-loud" funny, tends to have more ingenuity, more meaning, provoke more thought or even a greater multitude of feelings, emotions, reactions than just laughter. And it will tend to be more permanently watchable, to remain compelling after countless revisits, with fewer (if any) diminishing returns.

Romantic Comedy Recommendations/Haven't Seen:

NOTE: Scaruffi's rating to the right of title in parenthesis, to give general order of importance for me ... plus asterisks means it's one of his "unofficial" ratings, which often means he hasn't seen it yet (especially those from the 1990s forward). In such cases, the rating is just an estimate based on his favorite critics until he does and rates it himself...

Running Log - Comedy Films - Updates Ratings/Rankings...

La Dolce Vita - Federico Fellini (1960) ...simply added to my Comedy Films list whereas before it was missing... (same rating as it has been for years: 8.4/10)
Holy Mountain - Alejandro Jodorowsky (1973) 7.9/10 to 8.1/10 ...update from several months ago...
Celine and Julie Go Boating - Jacques Rivette (1974) 7.5/10...added, whereas before it was missing ... rating from a long time ago ("tentative")
The City of Lost Children - Jean-Pierre Jeunet (1995) 7.2/10 to 7.4/10 ...update from several months ago...
Delicatessen - Jean-Pierre Jeunet (1991) 7.4/10 to 7.3/10 ...update from several months ago...
Adaptation - Spike Jonze (2002) 7.2/10 (no change... "probably -- not necessarily final")
Magnolia - Paul Thomas Anderson (1999) 7.2/10 ...added , whereas before it was missing (questionable genre selection...)
What About Bob? - Frank Oz (1991) Not Rated or "tentative 6.6/10" to 7.2/10
Everything Everywhere All at Once - Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (2022) 6.9/10 to 7.0/10
Naked Gun 2 1/2 - David Zucker (1991) Not Rated or "tentative 6.0" to 7.0/10 ...Hadn't seen this in at least 15 years so was a treat to revisit ... possibly the best of the series, even if I could say the first one is maybe superior up until (roughly) the last fourth (of each). The last Act or so of 2 1/2 reaches the heights of comedic masterpieces like Airplane, with a series of ingenius gags that never lets up, among the high points of 1990s comedy. Rest of the film is always amusing or funny and relentlessly satiric as well (of bad guys, of the president and his wife, of etiquette, of politics, of suspense films, of buddy cop films, of police and detectives in general and their brilliance at solving the mystery, etc, with countless quotations including the hilarious tribute to Ghost's love scene...) ...and it avoids too much repetition with the original (no small feat), always finding new ways to express its wit, humor, satire, with Neilsen's dead pan, oblivious stupidity among the great characters (and most useless, inadvertently winning despite himself...) in the history of comedy...
48 Hours - Walter Hill (1982) 6.6/10 to 6.9/10 ...update from several months ago...
Stranger Than Fiction โ€“ Marc Forster (2006) 6.8/10 (no change) ... Could be 6.9-7.0 but at least for now decided that 6.8 is (probably) accurate, fwiw... may change my mind as I revisit some others...
Bad Santa - Terry Zwigoff (2003) 6.8/10 (no change) ... Another one that might change as I watch/re-watch some others... still kind of getting my bearings with film during this Christmas season, after my time off spent getting sloshed at Miami beach (that's a reference to the film, not serious... ๐Ÿ˜Ž )
Ghostbusters II - Ivan Reitman (1989) Not Rated to 5.5/10 (tentative, still under consideration)
Idiocracy - Mike Judge (2006) 5.8/10 to 5.3/10

Misc update...

In the process of adding dozens of "tentative" entries onto my Comedy list above. They're bolded on the list and include ***tentative rating/may need a revisit*** to the right of the selection. Many of these are films I haven't seen since they came out (or shortly after) and this includes many 1990s, even 80s entries -- so yes, in some cases, I haven't watched them since I was a kid or teenager. So this means these particular ratings are very much rough estimates based on an attempt to jostle them into position in and around selections that seem comparable based on memory combined with current criteria/ratings standards. Obviously that means these are going to be a bit hit and miss as regards accuracy so take the ratings with a grain of salt (to greater or lesser degree per how long ago I watched them...). Although a majority of them are probably within 0.3 or 0.5 plus or minus what they will end up at once "official", there will surely be a surprise here and there when I get back around to them, as in: a film that will be much better or much worse than I recall.

I do want to (eventually!!!) get back around to a majority of all selections that have ***tentative rating/may need a revisit*** and hope to get to at least a decent helping of them this round of viewings...

I am also mid revisiting Clue (1985) to finally come through on that after Facetious has reminded me to re-watch it on, I think, at least 2 maybe 3 occasions over the years. This is one I haven't seen in probably 25, 30 years... should have a rating on that tonight, maybe tomorrow...

As far as batshit insane action comedies go, I would highly recommend Crank and Crank 2. Also of note is the Pakistani film International Guerrillas, about guerrilla fighters who hunt down Salman Rushdie, who's somehow a criminal mastermind (YouTube link: https://youtu.be/DnS8dpD8S5E?si=GLSmBwCKRgGfElJP)

Another great but insane film: https://youtu.be/VU6HNwXsH9U?si=9BGYyh4ZD1gTW0WL

I was also surprised to find Scaruffi rated the whodunit/comedy Knives Out a 7.4, although I would myself rate it around 7+ as well probably. The third Knives Out film just came out this year.

Thanks Facetious!

Surprisingly - haven't heard of any of these before (besides, obv, Knives Out)... But I'm completely out of the loop on the Crank films even -- somehow didn't even hear of them despite being pretty mainstream it seems... Sounds like they could be something along the lines of John Woo's classics, perhaps combined with Michael Bay such as Bad Boys (w/o the buddy cop dynamic)? Or maybe the John Wick series makes a good comp? Regardless, could be fun...

Thank you for reminding me to get to Knives Out and I'll add these all to the section below my Comedy's list that has those I need to see

I'll drop some quotes from Letterboxd reviews to give you an idea of what to expect from Crank:
"The origins of Monster energy drink cinema."
"if godard spent a week huffing axe body spray he would make this movie"
"more action movies edited like YouTube Poops please"

Surprisingly - haven't heard of any of these before (besides, obv, Knives Out)... But I'm completely out of the loop on the Crank films even -- somehow didn't even hear of them despite being pretty mainstream it seems... Sounds like they could be something along the lines of John Woo's classics, perhaps combined with Michael Bay such as Bad Boys (w/o the buddy cop dynamic)? Or maybe the John Wick series makes a good comp? Regardless, could be fun...

Thank you for reminding me to get to Knives Out and I'll add these all to the section below my Comedy's list that has those I need to see


I'll drop some quotes from Letterboxd reviews to give you an idea of what to expect from Crank:
"The origins of Monster energy drink cinema."
"if godard spent a week huffing axe body spray he would make this movie"
"more action movies edited like YouTube Poops please"

Think I'm gonna give it a 7.5 on this alone ๐Ÿคฃ
