I am not going to fight here, it is just my opinion. It was funny to me, nothing more. I prefer more darker humor like Dr. Stangelove and A Clockwork Orange. To me the idea of a man who has done so much harm to people and in the end he does not have to pay for it, to me that is funny, scary but funny. Also the end of the world like in Dr. Strangelove is funny to me also, scary but really funny.

My favorite comic actor these days is Bill Murry, he may be one of the funniest people of all time, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Rushmore, The Life Aquatic, even in Caddyshack he is superb. He is one of the great improvers.
-
Yeah, I liked Rushmore and The Life Aquatic, I think that those will become classics, I liked Shaun of the Dead and I like South Park.
-
I never said the it was a bad movie, it's funny I just don't think that it's classic comedy, Buster Keaton is classic comedy to me.
-
I don't think that I recall that one, I will have to look it up on the Mst3k website.
-
To me, it does not matter if it is old or not or if it was adapted into a broadway musical to me that doesn't make a difference, it still remids me of an Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller movie, to me Mel Brooks started all that with The Producers and Blazzing Saddles and History of the World Part One and all the other ones that he did. I am not saying that it is a bad movie because it is really funny but nothing more, I don't think that it's a masterpiece, it's right up there with the Adam Sandler stuff.

I think that they should show it on a Kubrick birthday slaute in July alng with Dr. Strangelove, 2001, Barry Lyndon, Lolita and The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut would be nice but I doubt that they would ever play that though. I wish that they would show the documentary on Kubrick called Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures wich was made back in 2001 and I have been dying to see it.

I don't see how The Producers has stood the test of time, to me that is like saying that The Waterboy has stood the test of time but that is just my opinion.
-
I think that I saw a showing of The Producers on The Essentials and although I do think that it is a funny movie I don't think that it is an essential, It Happend One Night is an essential. I do agree with Kyle that Mel Brooks is overrated, I mean his movies are a little funny but nothing more, I don't think that they are masterpieces. Saying that The Producers is an essential is like saying that Spaceballs or Happy Gilmore are essentials.
-
The funniest ones to me were The Skidivers and Pod People. Classics!

Did he really direct Last Tango in Paris?
No! Kubrick did not direct Last Tango in Paris. The reason why I mentioned that movie was because Kyle said to me that If Last Tango in Paris airs on the Marlon Brando salute than it is ok for me to go ahead and suggest a showing of A Clockwork Orange. He says that if Last Tango in Paris is allowed to be shown uncut than A Clockwork Orange should be allowed too.

IT'S MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE. That movie and The Creeping Terror are the worst movies ever made, I forgot to include EGAH.
-
Don't worry, the classics that you love will be returning this mouth and will continue through April and May, I don't know what is planned after that but I am sure that it will be line ups of the classics that you love.

Stanley Kubrick's birthday is this coming July, on the 26th. Maybe it would be a good idea to air A Clockwork Orange then, hopefully along with Barry Lyndon and The Shining as premieres and of course Dr. Strangelove, 2001, Paths of Glory and Lolita. It would be nice if they somehow showed the Kubrick documentary, Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures which was made back in 2001. I hear that it is a very good documentary and I have been dying to see it, I don't know if TCM already has plans for the line up in July but it is just a suggestion.
-
I did not see a showing of Last Tango in Paris on the Marlon Brando schedule, oh well I will suggest a showing of A Clockwork Orange anyway.
-
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Heavenly Creatures (1994)
Halloween (1978)

Ok, what exactly will happen next after the challenge closes on March 7.

Hey, you live in Atlanta, GA. I live in Bogart witch is pretty close to Atlanta.
-
By the way, I did not say that I herd bad things about The French Connection and The Godfather, I herd good things about those movies and I didn't care for them but I herd bad things about Fargo, Men in Black and most of Kubrick's films and I really liked them.
-
Actually, Fargo did not win the oscar for best picture, it was nomminated though but it lost to The English Patinet.
-
Hey! Nine dollers and free shipping too, not bad.
-
Amazing prices!

Thanks!

I don't think that Springtime for Hitler is dark, insulting yes but not dark, it's not depressing enough to be dark humor. To me dark humor has to be depressing but funny at the same time.
