minus-squarePratai@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·edit-210 months agoIf I recall, that was a huge hit when it came out. I wouldn’t call it an uncommon film.
minus-squareQuasar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-210 months agoThat’s nice. I’d still consider it more of a cult film for anyone not of that generation compared to the other films by these two.
minus-squareAcornCarnage@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoCommon if you grew up with HBO in the 80s and 90s, otherwise maybe not so much.
minus-squarestate_electrician@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoYeah, but half the people here weren’t even born when it came out.
minus-squarePratai@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·10 months agoSo for that matter, one could respond with Cleopatra, or Ben Hur?
minus-squareProceduralDeathLab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 months agoHuh. I’ve never really thought of Ben Hur as a comedy.
minus-squarePratai@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·10 months agoWhat type of movie it is is irrelevant. The point remains that old and outdated, doesn’t mean uncommon.
minus-squareProceduralDeathLab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoOooo…yeahhhh, ummm…I’m gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there. Yeah, uh, this is a thread about comedies, and I’m just not sure that this is the caliber movie that we would want for an uncommon comedy.
minus-squarePratai@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoReplace Ben Hur with ANY Jerry Lewis film then. The point remains.
