Sorry if that was too complicated for you. I'll try to dumb it down next time. Thank you for the critique!

human123 , it was not intended as a critique. But, now this message is. How can something be " too complicated" if one has never seen or heard anything about it?
It is simply a matter of me asking you elaborate on why you said what you said.

As an example, British people speak ENGLISH, Australians speak ENGLISH, some Canadians speak English, and of course there is the English spoken in the USA.

If you can tell me what a Fair Dinkum is without looking it up, I won't make a "tit for tat "statement that I'll need to dumb it down for you too.

FYI, I wasn't being a jerk in your direction and certainly wasn't looking for a snarky reply from you with my original message. I was merely asking a simple question and clarification as to what you meant and why you made the statement you did about the EYES WIDE SHIUT movie. The movie and your post might as well have been like me understanding Swahili without translation/explanation.

Not that it was complicated. My money is on the lack of applicable context in your post, that he quoted, that left him…wanting, curious, and not critiquing.
I understand that the full context may not be acceptable for this forum, but…perhaps he is better served by not indulging in it.
Your opinion is noted though.

Thanks Bdon,

As you can see by my message above to human123, I think you summarized my original message as accurately as I tried to illustrate in my post #102.

Caddyshack
Animal House
Tombstone
Pulp Fiction
Idiocracy (more relevant than ever methinks)
The Big Lebowski
Brazil

As a true fan of truly funny movies, life experiences and the irony of life throughout history, I have to agree with a good portion of your list. I never saw Brazil, Pulp Fiction or Idiocracy though. But Animal House and Caddyshack will always be lore to me.

Interesting fact, Stanley Kubrick (Director) was told not to include certain aspects of this movie. He did include them and died shortly after. He also directed and produced The Shining which had several references to Apollo 11. You can follow up on conspiracy theories regarding both movies. Bottom line is Stanley Kubrick died in his sleep from a heart attack on March 7, 1999, at age 70 at his home in Childwickbury, England. Renowned as one of the 20th century's most influential directors, he passed away just before the release of his final film, Eyes Wide Shut.

Interesting, Grant. I was aware of some of the "hidden things" in The Shining. I saw a documentary on it once. I had no idea of depth of some of Kubrick's genius he inserted into such a one of a kind movie as that one.

In light of what I said above to gball,

I would like to add a few other comedic movies that will always bring me a laugh and likewise to make other people laugh even decades after their release.

Slapshot, Stripes, Home Alone, Throw Momma From the Train, Planes Trains and Automobiles, The Blues Brothers, and one of my favorite older comedic movies, No Time for Sergeants. Andy Griffith was a hoot in that one. Uncle Buck, Ferris Bueller

Dramas:

Apocalypse Now, 12 Angry Men ( the black and white one ) Cool Hand Luke, Dunkirk, Darkest Hour ( the one about Churchill)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Jeremiah Johnson, Falling Down
