Best Comedy Movie of the 90's

[swede]

Fargo was pretty damn funny. I just noticed that Coen Brothers wrote O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, The Hudsucker Proxy, Barton Fink, and (drum roll) Miller's Crossing

I think the 90's was a good decade for movies. Definitely better than last 10 years.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? is good on so many levels!

My problem is that I don't really like comedies.

I like certain moments in comedies-- "You can't go in there!" "It's all right I'm a chauffeur! Aaagh!"--but the expositions are generally hard to sit through.

I think I like Men in Black because it is a pretty good action movie with laughs interspersed. I read all of my grandpa's Louis L'Amour paperbacks when I was ten or eleven and they doomed me to liking action/adventure thrills from the cheap to the worthy. MiB, A Few Good Men, Unforgiven, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou?, The Fifth Element, The Punisher, Van Helsing, Shawshank Redemption, and The Quick and the Dead are some of the movies for which I stop surfing and settle in to watch.

I'm over Starship Troopers. I'm done with Die Hard also, although I did like it back in the day.

I can't stomach 75% of the shit I used to watch. I just don't have the time for it. It better be worthwhile or I'm turning it off.

Voted for "Mary" cause is made me laugh really hard at the time. I don't think it would do the same for me now.

I voted Dumb and Dumber...but Nutty Professor was a FUNNY movie. Bulletproof was another good one.

I didn't see Nutty Professor, but if that was with Eddie Murphy, I guess I will try it.

Eddie Murphy is really talented, but he lands in so many worse-than-terrible movies. He was fricking hilarious in a 90's Steve Martin movie, "Bowfinger"

The first Nutty Professor with Eddie Murphy is the best...way better than the sequels. You won't regret watching it.

That's pretty much the problem with most of those movies. The art of comedy was lost to Hollywood long ago. Well, maybe not that long, but certainly before the 90s. These "funny" movies don't stand up over time because they're mainly based on quippish pop culture references which make the audience feel hip because they "get it." I never really liked Mel Brooks, but at least he put some effort into his comedy.

I think you should kill yourself.
