Balls Out: Gary The Tennis Coach (best film with Seann William Scott as lead imo)
Dirty Work
Palm Springs on Hulu (flew under the radar for most people I know)
Vice Principals (TV show)
Almost Heros
Came to say Dirty Work. It might be the only movie with Norm MacDonald as the lead. My friends and I still quote that one from time to time.
Absolutely love it! And so quotable!
I emulated it after seeing it as a kid in a revenge-prank business at school (worst thing I did was put fire ants in a kid's desk to get back for bullying).
Years back, as soon as the CEO business came out in GTA online, I immediately claimed "Dirty Work Inc." as my business name!
Definitely one of my favorite movies.
That movie always reminds me of the time MY NOSE WAS BIT OFF BY A SAIGON WHORE!!!
I'm usually not drawn to comedies, but Palm Springs is what came to mind for me. I learned what it means for a screenplay to be "tight" - efficient, cohesive. Every line fits the tone of the movie and moves the plot forward. Plus it's technically such a beautiful movie. The lighting is warm, the soundtrack is fun, and the chemistry between all the actors is perfect.
Third for Palm Springs. I thought it was gonna be a mindless watch when I threw it on, so maybe low expectations helped.
