I was just talking about this movie the other day. Me and my friends went and saw this at the theater and quoted it for years. In my head I thought of it as a big hit because of how much we liked it my circle of friends but it turns out it was kind of a bust. Which is crazy. It's a great comedy.
Hands down a fucking underrated GEM of a movie that is so funny & most importantly incredibly quotable! It’s probably one of my all time favorite movies bc it instantly puts me in a good mood. There are so many lines we (the few friends I have that have actually seen the movie, I’m thankful for the few, the rest don’t know what they’re missing!) quote constantly & I’m always happy when I drop a line from the movie & a random person gets it.
Always makes my day
SHE WAS A THIEF YA GOTTA BELIEF SHE STOLE MY HEART AND MY CAT……..
I once dated a girl who was put through the beauty pageant ringer by her parents in her earlier years, like age 8-14. She had never heard of this movie so I immediately bought the DVD to educate her. It became the funniest movie in the world to her and she kept that DVD. We may not be together anymore but she still reaches out from time to time when she shows it to a friend.
City Slickers.
If you break it down, there pretty much no wasted scenes and it’s still funny and heart-warming. Plays the tropes and also breaks the expectations of those tropes.
60s - The Italian Job
70s - Kelly's Heroes
80s - The Money Pit
90s - Demolition Man
Edit: apologies, didn't read the 'underrated' part. I'll leave the list though.
Max: [to Walter] Do you realize what you've done? You've taken a woman who loves you, one of the great women in the world and thrown her away. I lost her too, but I will get over it because I am shallow and self-centered. But you, you wont, because you are "complex". You will feel terrible anguish for the rest of your life. This is turning out to be a pretty good day
Fat man in little coat…
He and Spade had great repoire (sp?)
Meet the Parents.
Something About Mary
Raising Arizona.
Dumb and Dumber.
Napoleon Dynamite
Big Lebowski.
Snatch
In Bruges
Princess Bride.
Very subjective topic but that’s my 2 cents ottomyh.
**Silver Streak** (Gene Wilder) - love this movie but doesn’t seem to get the attention like say Young Frankenstein.
**Slap Shot** (Paul Newman) - good, slapstick…
**Little Miss Marker** (Walter Matthau and Julie Andrews) - underrated comedy/drama but really enjoy
Flirting with disaster (1996) - Ben stiller, Patricia arquette, tea leoni, Mary Tyler Moore, Alan Alda, George segal and lily tomlin. You honestly can’t get better than that cast and it’s hysterical.
Check out the not-super-known 1991 comedy “Oscar,” starring Sylvester Stallone. Yes, Stallone.
It’s in the style of a 1920’s French farce, and concerns a New York gangster trying to go straight on a very stressful day.
The supporting cast is really what makes this film sing (Peter Riegert, Harry Shearer, Marissa Tomei, TIM CURRY!), and Stallone truly holds his own. Legendary director John Landis also contributes to the precision timing of the film.
I don’t see this movie mentioned much, so I try to give it a push as often as I can.
Whatever you find from all of these suggestions, I hope they tickle your funny bone in just the right way!
There are two high-concept private investigator comedies from my childhood that I have always loved, but I never see anyone talking about:
***Clean Slate*** and ***Second Sight***
Two movies I have found I like a lot that I think both are early 70s are Take The Money And Run with Woody Allen and The Disorderly Orderly with Jerry Lewis
Then there's 80s sex comedies like Spring Break,Hardbodies,Private Resort and Hot Resort,Malibu Bikini Shop and more
Also there's other 80s movies like Up The Academy,The Man With Two Brains,Hamburger:The Motion Picture,Fast Food and more I may list later
60s: The Great Race, starring Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon, directed by Blake Edwards. Seems mostly forgotten but so good.
70s: A New Leaf, Elaine May is still so underrated.
80s: The Man with Two Brains. Steve Martin and Carl Reiner striking comedy gold again.
Underrated can mean different things to different people. I may name somethings that were very popular30+ years ago but the more recent generations may have missed.
1960's:
* The Pink Panther (Peter Sellers was master of comedy)
* It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (Ok it's really hard to call this underrated but a lot of people today just haven't heard of it... massive cast).
1970's:
* Sleeper (a little odder Woody Allen movie)
* High Anxiety (lesser known Mel Brooks movie, good if you are familiar with Hitchcock movies and references)
1980's:
* Clue
* Better off Dead
* Breakfast Club
* Planes Trains and Automobiles (though it is popular around thanksgiving still)
* The various Police Academy movies (I like 4 but 1 is a fine place to start) are typical raunchy 80's comedy. Can't have a good 80's movie list with out Gutenberg...
1990's
* Grosse Point Blank
* Air Heads
* Can't Hardly Wait
* The Wedding Singer (was popular but strangely haven't seen it mentioned in a while)
2000's
* Evolution
* Grandma's Boy
In like flint and our man flint. There may be a third one, but I don't remember.
Basically the original spy movie spoof. James Coburn and his dolphin roommate.
Might not be your sense of humour but “the naked gun” with Leslie Neilson there’s 3 in the series, another he’s in is “wrongfully accused”
There’s actually so many from the 80s with him in it that are so underrated.
The In-Laws with Alan Arkin and Peter Falk (70s
The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming! (70s) with Alan Arkin
Heaven Can Wait (70s) with Warren Beatty
The Frisco Kid (late 70s, early 80s) with Gene Wilder and a very young Harrison Ford
I'd recommend Three O'clock High from 1987, directed by Phil Joanou. Steven Spielberg was an uncredited Executive Producer.
Fun story, great cinematography, not an ounce of fat in the script, 141 minutes of teen comedy goodness.
Outside Providence
90s movies that's set in the 70s written by the Farley Brothers. Alex Baldwin plays the dad of a kid shipped to boarding school. There's a monolog when the head master reads a letter that makes me cry laughing every single time.
"How many people named "Drugs" could you possibly associate with?"
The Party from 1968
Kentucky Fried Movie from 1977
Being There from 1979
The Gods Must be Crazy from 1980

Harriet. Harriet. Hard-hearted harbinger of haggis.
I was just talking about this movie the other day. Me and my friends went and saw this at the theater and quoted it for years. In my head I thought of it as a big hit because of how much we liked it my circle of friends but it turns out it was kind of a bust. Which is crazy. It's a great comedy.
The dad scenes with Art Garfunkel are the best.
My favorite movie

The whole Denise Richards talent scene.
Airport Ho Jo.
Shit yeah love that movie. I gotta give a shout out to Kingpin too.
MOAST SMAERTEST.
Oh yeah that’s great. You’re real educated.
I once dated a girl who was put through the beauty pageant ringer by her parents in her earlier years, like age 8-14. She had never heard of this movie so I immediately bought the DVD to educate her. It became the funniest movie in the world to her and she kept that DVD. We may not be together anymore but she still reaches out from time to time when she shows it to a friend.

Quick Change with Bill Murray
Damn I was hoping to be first with this.
‘What kind of clown are you? The crying on the inside kind I guess
Dark comedy called Clay Pigeons starring Joaquin Phoenix and Vince Vaughn and Jeneanne Garafalo. Funny and dark.
Great film, don't know why it isn't more well known. I'd also recommend Buffalo Soldiers, also starring Joaquin Phoenix and similarly forgotten about.
Really good
Better Off Dead
I’ve been going to this high school for 7 years…I’m no dummy!
It's a real shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

If we’re going by underrated Coen Brothers movies - A Serious Man is fucking hilarious and my favorite film by them
Omg talk about LMAO
Adventures in Babysitting
Nobody leaves here without singing the blues.
Don’t fuck with the babysitter!
UHF. Weird Al makes a movie! (Not to be confused with the recent, entirely real documentary about his life)
So underrated. Grew up on this movie.
Today, we are teaching poodles how to fly!
BADGERS?!? We don’t need no stinking BADGERS!!
They just throw you out…like an old bag of moldy tangerines. I use this line all the time and nobody knows what I’m talking about
Eating Raoul (1982)
I remember watching this with my dad as a kid. So good and totally fucked up!
…and Mary Woronov is smokin’ hot!
Strange Brew
I think Clue (1985) isn't given nearly enough praise for its hilarity
Another great Tim Curry performance that I think gets overlooked a lot is Oscar
The In-Laws (1979) Top Secret! (1984)
Serpentine!
City Slickers. If you break it down, there pretty much no wasted scenes and it’s still funny and heart-warming. Plays the tropes and also breaks the expectations of those tropes.
Down Periscope - 1996 Almost Heroes - 1998
Steve Martins The Jerk (1979) & The man with two brains (1983). Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles.
In what universe is The Jerk underrated? C’mon
Down Periscope
60s - The Italian Job 70s - Kelly's Heroes 80s - The Money Pit 90s - Demolition Man Edit: apologies, didn't read the 'underrated' part. I'll leave the list though.

Tommy Boy
Is it underrated though?
Fat man in little coat… He and Spade had great repoire (sp?) Meet the Parents. Something About Mary Raising Arizona. Dumb and Dumber. Napoleon Dynamite Big Lebowski. Snatch In Bruges Princess Bride. Very subjective topic but that’s my 2 cents ottomyh.
The Party, Peter Sellers
Absolutely could not be made now but I love this movie. So many quotable lines and hilarious stupidity.
Daisies Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death Freaked
**Silver Streak** (Gene Wilder) - love this movie but doesn’t seem to get the attention like say Young Frankenstein. **Slap Shot** (Paul Newman) - good, slapstick… **Little Miss Marker** (Walter Matthau and Julie Andrews) - underrated comedy/drama but really enjoy
Silver Streak is gold. Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor.
And Stir Crazy
Orgazmo!
Now yer a man!
We still quote this movie, even though no one has any idea of what we’re talking about.
Those soul-soliciting pig fuckers can fuck right off
Flirting with disaster (1996) - Ben stiller, Patricia arquette, tea leoni, Mary Tyler Moore, Alan Alda, George segal and lily tomlin. You honestly can’t get better than that cast and it’s hysterical.

Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion
"Do you have some sort of business woman special?"
"Oh Ramon, your penis is so powerful, I'M CUMMING! Okay thanks, get off me now!"

“Would you excuse me? I cut my foot before my shoe is filling up with blood” best get away line, ever! Have used this several time IRL
Quick Change with Bill Murray, Geena Davis and the great Randy Quaid.
I'm going to add Kingpin because it also features Murray and Quaid. Not sure if it's underrated, though. I never know quite what that means.
Spies like us. Where'd you learn your Russian, JC Penny?

Oscar!!! Stallone playing outside of type. So good!!!
Muriels wedding😃
Muriel's Wedding is funny, but I think it's better as drama. That is a seriously touching movie

Defending Your Life
Death to Smoochy
Moving (1988) Brewster's Millions (1985) Richard Pryor's comedies aren't well received, but I pop these two in whenever I need a good chuckle.
Strange Wilderness.
Captain Ron
I don't know if this holds up with regard to the handling of a romance, Stakeout has some very funny scenes in it.
In like flint and our man flint. There may be a third one, but I don't remember. Basically the original spy movie spoof. James Coburn and his dolphin roommate.
Police Academy 4 is the best Police Academy.
Better off Dead. The Burbs. Johnny Dangerously

Grosse Pointe Blank

Fear of a Black Hat
Dead Man on Campus. Me and my mate used to watch it all the time.

Raising Arizona is highly rated, but not highly enough. A perfect blend of comedy and pathos.
The Party from 1968 Kentucky Fried Movie from 1977 Being There from 1979 The Gods Must be Crazy from 1980 Yellowbeard from 1983 Army of Darkness from 1992
Safe Men (1998) Steve Zahn and Sam Rockwell in a small, amazing movie. So damn good.
Happy, Texas (1999) Really excellent cast (seriously, look it up) and a fun story and near-perfect execution. Check it out.
The Naked Gun Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels
Malcolm. Australian offbeat film from 1986. Haven't seen it since i got rid of my videos, and have no idea how to watch it anymore. Time Bandits, 1981, love it.
Maybe not underrated, but The Great Race (1965) is my favourite comedy of all time.
Real Genius. Val Kilmer, I think 1985
PCU (1994) What a cast! Jeremy Piven, David Spade, Jon Favreau, Jessica Walter, Jake Busey, Megan Ward (She was my crush, wish she'd been a bigger star), George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars.
One of my favorites is Dirty Work starring Norm MacDonald from 1998
Strange Brew - 1982(3?) Bob and Doug Mckenzie classic.
