(6,831 posts)"Big Trouble," from a book by Dave Barry, starring Tim Allen, Rene Russo, Stanley Tucci, Dennis Farina, Omar Epps, Jason Lee, Tom Sizemore, Janeane Garofalo, Heavy D, Johnny Knoxville, Zooey Deschanel and a lot of cameos. The story involves the Mob, a nuclear bomb, Russians, a newly-divorced man, a FSU vs. UofF football game, a garbage disposal, the Miami PD, an unhappy housewife, TSA, hit men, the FBI, the Miami Airport, Joes' Stone Crabs (the restaurant), goats, a confused dog and a psychedelic toad. When I am in desperate need of a 90 minute laugh fest, this is the DVD that always does it for me.
"Airplane"
"Captain Ron," with Martin Short, Marykay Place and Kurt Russell. Pirates, an ancient sailboat, Cuba, guerillas, and a shower scene that will make you howl.
"The Ref," with Dennis Leary. Nuff said.
"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."
"Spinal Tap."
"Cobra," it's not a comedy, it's a LAPD detective, good guys vs. bad guys movie. It's a vehicle for Stallone to look tough in, but the acting is SO OVER THE TOP, that it's a laugh out loud riot.
"Police Squad" all three of them. Leslie Nielson had great comedy timing. Every time.
