      Alan Tudyk is one of my favorite actors who I feel gets too little credit. He’s hilarious and it seems he’s always in some funny/weird role in live action but has a surprising list of credits when it comes to animated and especially Disney animated movies. Pretty sure he’s been in almost every Disney animated movie of the last 15 years.

      I love Tucker and Dale vs Evil

    Clue. One of Tim Curry’s finest performances. Madeline Kahn’s, too.

    What We Do in the Shadows (the movie, not the series). For something more obscure, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn. Yes, both feature Jemaine Clement

    ‘My cousin Vinny’ seems relatively uncommon, and is a beautiful courtroom comedy drama.

      Uncommon to the young folks. Pretty much everyone over the age of 35 has seen my cousin Vinny. It was also super popular and well known and is still definitely a great movie.

    I feel like “The Man Who Knew Too Little” is pretty uncommon even though it’s a Bill Murray movie. One of my favourite comedies of all time!

      Yeah. That is such a great film, and you almost never hear people talk about it.

        “I threw that shit before I even walked in the room!” One of my other favourites is the pool hall fight, where the pump actually smacks the actor he’s fighting, and the guy loses his cool. Then there’s a swift, unplanned cut, and suddenly he’s fighting someone else entirely. It’s all those little pastiches of shoddy movie-making that you can miss, such a good movie!
