minus-square@Pratai@lemmy.calinkfedilink4•edit-22 years agoIf I recall, that was a huge hit when it came out. I wouldn’t call it an uncommon film.
minus-squareQuasarlinkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-22 years 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-square@state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink2•2 years agoYeah, but half the people here weren’t even born when it came out.
minus-square@Pratai@lemmy.calinkfedilink-1•2 years agoSo for that matter, one could respond with Cleopatra, or Ben Hur?
minus-square@ProceduralDeathLab@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years agoHuh. I’ve never really thought of Ben Hur as a comedy.
minus-square@Pratai@lemmy.calinkfedilink-2•2 years agoWhat type of movie it is is irrelevant. The point remains that old and outdated, doesn’t mean uncommon.
minus-square@ProceduralDeathLab@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years 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-square@Pratai@lemmy.calinkfedilink1•2 years agoReplace Ben Hur with ANY Jerry Lewis film then. The point remains.
minus-square@AcornCarnage@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•2 years agoCommon if you grew up with HBO in the 80s and 90s, otherwise maybe not so much.
