loquacius posted:not a pejorative statement: My Neighbor Totoro is for little kids. Like, toddlers. The story is lighter because it's on the right level for its intended audience. I have shown it to my two-year-old and would easily do so again, but I would not do this with Spirited Away because I care about her well-being. ponyo is better for toddlers than Kiki’s delivery service. totoro is the perfect toddler movie. surprised the silent “sunrise” is so high on the list

The oldest comedies I really appreciate are all Mel Brooks, I think. But they have aged well imo

Antonymous posted:Office space and Dr Strangelove are still good. And Fargo Dr Strangelove sure. Office Space is itself a pretty particular time and place that is relatable to a mass of people and a lot of the comedy arrises out of empathizing with the situation. i think in the not too distance future, OS will be completely alien to most people edit: and just to be clear, that's not a bad thing! infact, it's good things change. and not every movie has to last the test of time forever and ever, and OS was very funny. but i do think we're much farther from OS being funny because it's relatable/lived experiences than not. hell, cubicles are almost unheard of for anyone under 29. and again, that's fine. i'm sure there were 1940-1970 comedies that were a riot when they came out and would do absolutely nothing for me because i don't have that contextual experience.

Trabisnikof posted:otoh we don’t have to work in a factory to empathize with Little Tramp in Modern Times. Office Space literally ends with a character quitting his cushy-rear end programmer job to start a career in the idyllic and stress-free field of *checks notes* manual labor. I've never gotten an (unintentional) message from a film as clearly as I got 'the people who wrote this have never done a day of hard work in their lives' from that scene.

Fitzy Fitz posted:Why do so many people love Christmas Vacation? It was a big letdown after hearing so many people sing its praises. I like it a lot, but I love pretty much every John Hughes movie from that era, and although he is a terrible person, I also think most of the Chevy Chase stuff from the 80s is funny (Vacation, Spies Like Us, Fletch). Todd and Margo (the yuppie neighbors) are also pretty great. I also just don't think there is a ton of competition in the Christmas movie space. I like White Christmas (except for a couple problematic scenes). I think Scrooged is OK. Elf I can sit through, and I have to every year because the rest of my family loves it. That's about it unless you want to get into Silent Night Deadly Night / Black Christmas / other horror things.
