Tropic Thunder (2008)


MUST WATCH One of my favourite modern comedies, i remember seeing it for the first time knowing nothing and being a bit put out thinking they were copying my fave Platoon (1986) and then just laughter. All the stars are on top form, Jack Black going cold turkey, Ben Stiller's homage to Apocalypse Now (1979), Jay Baruchel from geek to hero, Danny Mcbride "Big Ass Titties" and Robert Downey Jr's every single line all make this worth a revisit. The action is good but it doesn't really need to be that good as the script is so strong. Full of silliness and joy, wonderful.




Like This Watch These: Zoolander (2001) Also directed by Stiller also bloody funny, MASH (1970) Another very funny war set film, Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004) Need i explain how stupidly funny this is? maybe the phrase 'Jazz Flute' will do it.
