minus-squareWanderingCrow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 years agoSpies like us - Dan Akroyd / Chevy Chase - little seen 80s comedy which has some hilarious bits , great cameos and whip fast dialogue.
minus-squarePratai@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·edit-22 years agoIf I recall, that was a huge hit when it came out. I wouldn’t call it an uncommon film.
minus-squareWanderingCrow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-22 years agoThat’s nice. I’d still consider it more of a cult film for anyone not of that generation compared to the other films by these two.
minus-squarestate_electrician@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoYeah, but half the people here weren’t even born when it came out.
minus-squarePratai@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·2 years agoSo for that matter, one could respond with Cleopatra, or Ben Hur?
minus-squareProceduralDeathLab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 years agoHuh. I’ve never really thought of Ben Hur as a comedy.
minus-squarePratai@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·2 years agoWhat type of movie it is is irrelevant. The point remains that old and outdated, doesn’t mean uncommon.
minus-squareProceduralDeathLab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoOooo…yeahhhh, ummm…I’m gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there. Yeah, uh, this is a thread about comedies, and I’m just not sure that this is the caliber movie that we would want for an uncommon comedy.
minus-squarePratai@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoReplace Ben Hur with ANY Jerry Lewis film then. The point remains.
minus-squareAcornCarnage@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoCommon if you grew up with HBO in the 80s and 90s, otherwise maybe not so much.
minus-squareWashedOver@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoI loved the theme song for this when it came out. https://youtu.be/ZruABxAV3So?si=xDHA0EaKnydxtmBX
