Monkey Business (1952)

There is an argument to be made that, when all is said and done, that Howard Hawks could quite possibly be the greatest film director in the history of American cinema.

Holidays in the Sun (2014)

Who of us doesn’t enjoy a pleasant holiday?

Am I OK? (2024)

At some point in our childhood, we are all asked a straightforward question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, an innocent and pleasant question that usually results in answers that are charming often quite funny, and mostly unrealistic.

Mr Bean’s Holiday (2007)

The Thin Man (1934)

When it comes to definitive comedies, one would struggle to find a film more iconic from the 1930s than The Thin Man, which has somehow managed to remain as fresh and compelling today as it did ninety years ago, which is not an achievement that many films can proudly attest to having, let alone finding…

Bad Teacher (2011)

The Iron Petticoat (1956)

Perhaps it is a contentious idea, but war is good for producing two kinds of art: devastating realist tragedy and outrageous absurdist comedy, the former being more immediate while the latter is more commonly found after some time has elapsed.

Unfrosted (2024)
