Party 7 (2000)
Fantastic film
This is the funniest film I have ever seen. I will say no more, really- preposterous, brilliant, and hilarious. Great work.
The actors dive into the script head first, with absolutely no let up, ever, turning in the best ensemble comedy work I have seen in years. Laugh out loud excellence, Captain Banana is worth the price of admission.

Crash (1996)
Missing the humor of Cronenberg
I add this comment onto the Crash pile, but it could be added to other films.
It seems people continuously ignore the humor in Cronenberg films- and CRASH is one of the funniest. While it may not be roll-in-the-aisles like Videodrome, I read the reviews and am somewhat shocked that I do not see the humor factor even mentioned.
I would be the first to admit that not all Cronenberg films are humorous, I'd say DEAD RINGERS and M. Butterfly are both fairly grim tales. The DEAD ZONE is appropriately bleak, but CRASH???? My lord, are you people dead??? The Spader/Unger scene in bed, while they talk rather clinically, had me laughing harder than anything I'd seen in years.
I love this movie, but like VIDEODROME or the FLY, it is at least in part a comedy.
