Zorro: The Gay Blade (1981)
OK, I've been watching this movie for years and it is still hilarious!
OK, if you ain't laughing at the jokes in this flick then you just don't need to watch comedies. We screened this at school and everyone, no matter how young or old, was cracking up. Hamilton was good but the Al Cade was great! He had all the best lines and that scene with the masquerade ball is priceless. Also, the execution drummers who didn't know when to quit, the scene Bunny makes his first appearance and all the other Dons are describing what he's wearing; "He was wearing green signor." Al Cade; "You mean green like a Lime?" Don Francisco: "No, green like the avocado"
Also, the end battle and the Al Cade and a few guards are surrounded by the rebelling peasants, he immediately orders the peasants to drop their weapons and that they are under arrest, there is like a second beat and the guards turn and arrest the Al Cade instead. Unexpected funny bits like that are what made this movie enjoyable for me and if you have an ounce of a sense of humor, you will enjoy it too.
There is so much more to this movie and I see something new every time I see it. Worth watching, especially as a double bill with "Love at First Bite"
Shameless (2004)
Another hit from the UK. Thank god for BBC America!
I happened upon this show one afternoon while nursing a hangover and have been hooked ever since. I was also lucky that BBCA was playing the entire series 1 as a marathon that day. This show blows away any of the lame crap that they call TV over here and is another testament to the vastly underrated talent of the UK. The only way a show this ballsy would be shown over here would be on a pay channel like HBO or Showtime. I am fast becoming a huge fan of British TV (Eastenders, The Office, Coupling, Father Ted, The Green Wing, ABFAB) and hopefully the DVD will be available to us yanks soon. Let's just hope some stupid network (NBC) doesn't get ahold of it in an attempt to "Americanize" it like they tried with Coupling and The Office.
