What happened to all the FUNNY movies? They seemed to fizzle out in the 80's or 90's. Some of my favs were Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, My Cousin Vinny, Young Frankenstein, Throw Mama From the Train, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Blazing Saddles and The Bird Cage. I'm sure I missed some, but "funny" movies just aren't funny any more.
It's SO TRUE! It seems the movie industry is striving to only entertain 17 years old (because it's the most who are buying/watching films these days)... and they're most likely running out of ideas. Indie Movies are also not well advertised. Then I'm sure there's those elite who won't buy well written screenplays.
Uhm, ok? I don't agree.
Just a few:
I happen to like Woody Allen movies so "Whatever works", Deconstructing Harry....
I know I'm forgetting some, those are off the top of my head, easier to find funny comedy series like Tracey Ullman, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Silicon Valley....
Netflix has some humorous series, such as Atypical, Call my Agent!, One Day at a Time, Grace and Frankie, Drop Dead Diva, Girlboss, etc.
Most of these shows have diversity elements as well; gay issues, autism, feminism issues.
I'm a Mel Brooks fan. But Moonstruck is one of my very favorite comedies. The love scene is absolutely my favorite love scene to date.
I LOVE this movie!
