Comedy > 20 GBP to 30 GBP Comedy > Feature Film

Truly entertaining!

Advantages: These DVDs will keep you laughing for hours on end!
Disadvantages: None

...first invited to watch a Marx brothers film I was a bit sceptical, not being much of a fan of black and white and generally old films. However, I was seriously proven wrong. This box set contains six films: A Day at the Races, A Night in Casablanca, At the Circus, The Big Store, A Night at the Opera, and Go West. The jokes in this film certainly haven't aged and Groucho's one-liners are simply priceless, such as, "One morning I shot an elephant in ...
...know". Not only are these guys funny, they're incredibly talented too. At some point during each film there will be some kind of a reason for them to all start playing instruments. Chico plays some fantastic music despite the unusual technique he uses and Harpo manages to create a makeshift harp out of anything from a broken piano to a loom! These films are wacky and hilarious, with Groucho often posing as a man of authority despite being a complete ...

Review of Doctor In The House - Complete Collection (DVD)

The Funniest Box Set, Ever.

Advantages: A collection of all the great Monty Python movies
Disadvantages: Some movies, ie., Monty Python and the Meaning of Life, have no extra features

Monty Python films are absolutely hilarious. I feel that, without a doubt, they are some of the finest movies ever made. At the time, I had only seen Monty Python and the Meaning of Life and I adored it, so when I saw the box set I thought "Fantastic!" and bought it, along with one of the CDs, within a week. Here's my review. This review focuses mainly on the content of the boxset rather than the films themselves, though I will include sections ...
...Obviously, with Monty Python, the films are all meant to be humourous, and I agree that they are incredibly funny. I personally found Monty Python and the Meaning of Life to be the best of the four, and found Monty Python and the Holy Grail - which is the all-time favourite of probably 90% of the people that've seen the movies - to be my least favourite, as I found it unfunny mostly, and a waste of time. I have only seen it once, and that was when ...

Back to the Future 1/2/3

Advantages: Great entertainment
Disadvantages: may sometimes be a bit repetitive

...I even have watched them back to back one day and I didn't get bored, they all just linkk so well and the way the same people crop up like Biff, is great as it makes it easy to understand as its like just going into a paralell world not a totally different one which I think makes less concentration on that and more on the story in hand. ...

Review of Back To The Future/Back To The Future - Part 2/Back To The Future - Part 3 (DVD)

Dr. Strangelove (Or how I learned to love the film...

Advantages: Subtle, topical even now, light hearted way of raising awareness.
Disadvantages: Black and white maybe?

I kept hearing about this film, and I thought why not give it a go. Not usually a huge fan of Black & White (I know I can’t generalise like that, they just don’t ‘attract’ me as such). Anyway I gave it a go, despite it’s age, I like old films, maybe not normally this old, which some exceptions. Anyway I was pleasantly surprised. This film isn’t a ‘comedy’ as such, it’s more of a light hearted look at a the beginning of a Nuclear war; you know, the ...
...never pull off ;) That may sound strange, and it kind of is, but it really suits the film. You can definitely see how topical it would have been back then, and it seems that some things never change as you could still almost see this happening these days, so as well as being light hearted it is definitely thought provoking. It makes you think just how much chaos and how quickly the world could potentially end if an all out nuclear war started. (Especially ...
