BTW, KCTatoo,
The Jerk was a 70s movie (1979). ;) |
Would Real Genius and Big Trouble In Little China be considered unsung?
How about UHF? Casual Sex? is pretty funny and you don't hear much about it. |

|
Private Eyes - Don Knotts and Tim Conway.
Loved Cannery Row too. Max Dugan Returns. |
I just remembered a couple of others that I really liked
Into The Night which starred Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer. The Gods Must Be Crazy (may not be unsung) |
Earnest Goes To Camp
|

Secret Admirer was pretty funny.
Once Bitten - Jim Carrey becomes a vampire |
Running Scared is another favorite 80's comedy. They tried to turn Billy Crystal into an action star.
Unsung or not, Big Trouble In Little China and Midnight Run are probably my favorite 80's comedies (looking at my list, it appears that I favor action comedies). One of the top 80's comedies is supposed to be A Fish Called Wanda. Even though I am a Monty Python fan, I didn't find it funny at all. The same holds true for The Blues Brothers. I never actually saw it until last year and didn't care for it. I think it might be one of those "you had to be there" deals. |

In the 80s, I thought DC Cab was funny. Saw it again a few weeks ago. Not as funny as I remembered.
|
Volunteers with Tom Hanks was pretty good.
|
Shakes
|
The Night Before with Keanu Reeves and a young Lori Loughlin
Real Men with Jim Belushi and John Ritter Better Off Dead as others have mentioned |
Better Off Dead, The Lost Boys, License To Drive. I know they've been mentioned but those are the favs.

Those aren't comedies. I was just ****ing with you guys. By all means, carry on.

Anyone remember the movie "After Hours"? It's a Martin Scorcese comedy (dark comedy, I suppose) about a very ordinary guy in New York who goes out to meet a girl he doesn't really know, then loses his keys and his wallet and spends the rest of the evening just trying to find a way to get back home. It's a great movie that didn't get much attention, probably because the humor and the characters were definitely offbeat. Worth watching, especially for anyone who really lived the 80's.
