After FUCKING Hours!

Trailer:

The great Marty comedy film that ISNT King of Comedy. It has the most absurd plot of any film but it is done so in such a wonderful manner you accept it. The whole movie takes place over the course of one night and grows more and more absurd as it goes on. It's about a somewhat geeky loner man decides after work to go out, he picked up a chick and the movie shows over the course of the night this man's life growing more absurd by the second.

It is fantastic and one of Marty's most under-looked films. Easily a 9/10 for me. EVERYONE who even halfway likes Marty should check out the DVD. It shows even more so than Last King of Comedy I think that Marty can do one hell of a comedy.

Yeah, this movie is fucking awesome.

I would love to see Marty try another comedy, the two times he did resulted in greatness.

I laughed a lot during Casino, so I consider that a comedy.

it DOESN'T have anything to do with the mafia, mobs, or organized crime.

I love how Griffin Dunne is simultaneously aping both Al Pacino and De Niro in the trailer. I haven't seen this movie in a while. I might have to snag it now.

This is one of those great "wtf, WHO directed this?" movies. It's pretty funny and becomes a very dark comedy before the end. I saw this on TBS or something once when I was a wee young'un and had no idea it was a Scorsese movie.

The King of Comedy isn't really a comedy, in the classic sense, Cheebs.

It's no Goodfellas either.

Solo · « **Reply #16 on:** March 01, 2007, 10:24:54 AM »

Of course not. Im just saying its more of a black comedy/satire then an average comedy.

I'm trying to track down all of the Scorsese films to watch, so I will definitely check this out.

One problem with Kentucky: unless the movie is either a box office hit ($100 mil or more) or just devoid of any intelligence, you can't find these movies to buy or rent anywhere. I was lucky I found Casino at Wal-Mart.

Plus, I'm not big on ordering online. This might change though.

Well I am not comparing either to Billy Madison or anything.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #22 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:13:52 PM »

It's true! Happy Gilmore is also better than Casino.
