Johnny Suede is an offbeat comedy about the forays of a young man obsessed with leading a rock and roll lifestyle. Highlights include a young and still relatively unknown Brad Pitt and the musician Nick Cave sporting a giant pasty pompadour. This film will not appeal to all tastes, as...

Ouch - in this sharp, biting film based on a play, two yuppie couples misbehave over a dispute between their boys. The comedic aspects take awhile to shine through the brutality of their attempts at diplomacy.

Funny and sweet, this Norwegian crime caper will surprise you.

I've found another guilty pleasure movie! 17 Again is a fresh take on the old "grown-up suddenly becomes teenager" theme. Matthew Perry plays Mike, a washed-up, soon-to-be-divorced father who suddenly, you guessed it, is 17 again, and looks just like Zac Efron. The twist here is that Mike and...

John Cusack is Martin Blank, a hit man going back home for a hit, for his high school reunion and to see the girl he stood up on prom night ten years ago. As if that wasn't reason enough to watch this comedy, it also features a fantastic 80s soundtrack, Joan Cusack as his wacky secretary, Dan...

Another great film from Jim Jarmusch. Five taxis, five cities, one night. Stories filled with confessions, propositions, gratitude, sadness and comedy that allow us glimpses into the lives of taxi cab drivers, the people they pick up and the brief relationships that develop between the two.

A story of a group of catholic boys in the 70's causing trouble to keep from dying of boredom. Unfortunately, some of their antics have tragic results. This film has a great cast, including Jodie Foster as a nun, short segments of animation scattered throughout, and interesting dialogue,...

Billed as "A Romantic Comedy...with Zombies," I was expecting a spoof of the stereotypical horror movie. It does have all the typical elements: Social commentary, a normal guy who has to step up and become the hero, a love story, brain-eating zombies and plenty of blood. But instead of just a...

It's been 10 years since this cult classic came out and if you haven't seen it yet, the time is now. This movie about three bowling buddies ("You mark that frame an 8, and you're entering a world of pain"), a stolen rug ("That rug really tied the room together") and a kidnapping scheme that has...

Mary Tyler Moore and Lily Tomlin are brilliant in this madcap comedy. I laugh every time I even think about the bumping scene.

Nearly as quirky as the radio show. This is good stuff.
