My favorite SF comedy is Dark Star.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

It has a special place in my heart as it was one of the first two films I watched on VHS, the other being Alien.

Comedy

  • Saving Silverman (Buddy/Romantic Comedy)

  • In Bruges (Dark Comedy about hitmen)

  • Swiss Army Man (idk Daniel Radcliff is a farting, talking corpse. Movie about self acceptance? An elderly couple walked out of the theater after the opening credits when i saw it lol)

  • Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Robert Downy Jr & Val Kilmer detective/noire)

  • The Naked Gun Trilogy (Leslie Nielson as a cop, idk how old you are but maybe you haven't heard of these)

Sci-Fi

  • Upgrade (quadriplegic man puts AI in his head)

  • Turbo Kid (Mad Max type dystopian future, one of my favorite movies ever but I've only been able to find it on YouTube or "free streaming". It's Canadian and their blu-rays don't work in the U.S.)

In Bruges is incredibly funny, and demonstrates perfectly why Colin Farrell deserves his place on the A list. Especially when he teams up with Brendan Gleeson.

Edit: just remembered I still haven't watched Banshees of Inisherin. That's tonight sorted!

John Dies at the End.

It’s sci fi/comedy. Best watched whilst high, but good regardless.

A favorite comedy that i haven't heard mention of in a while: Modern Love, from 1981. Just go in blind.

[-] scorpious@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The Game, with Michael Douglas.

[-] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

SF: Europa Report

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Knight and Day with Tom Cruise : very under rated movie a lot never saw this movie

The Saint with Val Kilmer also a great flick

The Replacements with Keanu Reeves

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Gosh I think if I recall correctly The Saint was very badly reviewed, is it good?

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've watched it several times (own it on DVD). I love it.

Big ole list I’ve been curating off and on. The pad will only last 60 days so move it over to somewhere you won’t lose it

I really oughta watch Rozencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead again. Such a fun show.

Phenomenal acting and Stoppard’s script is phenomenal. Definitely gotta be familiar with Hamlet, though!

The Voices with Ryan Reynolds.

It's a comedy drama following a schizophrenic trying to live a normal life.

It hits pretty hard at times.

[-] s20@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I feel weird recommending this movie because I fully acknowledge it's not exactly good, but...

The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997)

This has long been one of my all time favorite comedies. I've seen it probably a half dozen times, and it still makes me laugh out loud. Bill Murray is brilliant and Alfred Molina is clearly having the time of his life. I absolutely love it.

[-] BourneHavoc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This one is one of my all-time favorites. "Spencer knows how to deal with floaters!"

Best Polish SF movie is a comedy from the 80s abut two guys who are hibernated and wake up in a world without men. It was filmed during communism and it's full of hidden jabs at the system. It's actually a good SF movie.
