L'Américain (2004)
The French Big Lebowski
I predict that this movie, once more people discover it, will become a cult classic. It is absurd and dark and slapstick and superficially quite silly, but actually insanely clever. There are moments in this movie where I had to pause the DVD because I was laughing so hard. I don't smoke at all, but like the Big Lebowski, I can see this movie becoming really popular as a stoner flick. There is subtle political commentary, but above all, this movie is memorable for its idiosyncratic characters, ridiculous plot turns, and hilarious one- liners and gags - again, a lot of the humor is dark. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Les chevaliers du ciel (2005)
Unintentionally hilarious!
Man, I don't even know what to say. Okay, I'll say it. This is probably the worst movie that currently exists. It is the Rebecca Black of movies. In fact, I registered for IMDb just because I felt the need to say so. The plot is asinine, the dialogue is painfully trite... Which makes for what actually ends up being a hilarious viewing experience. For example, there's this...
(After a scene in a gym where the new girl, the badass American female pilot, is wearing shorts with her entire butt hanging out while doing her workout as the guys gawk.)
Bro-ey pilot dude: Where did you learn how to do stretches like that? American pilotess: Do you know how American girls pay for their education? Bro-ey pilot dude: There's this party coming up... Would you perform? American pilotess: I only do that for money.
So you think the badass she-pilot is messing with the dumb jock because she's smarter than him, right? WRONG. Cut to the next scene. She's straddled on a fake plane wearing her uniform and heels, as all the pilots at the party are hollering, and she she proceeds to strip for all her new French colleagues... Yup, great way to gain respect in an environment where you're new, from a different country, and repeatedly suffer serious gender-based discrimination. Hilarious!
The movie is the best bad movie I've ever seen.
