Wayne's World was a critical and commercial success, grossing $183.1 million worldwide against a budget of only $20 million. It received positive reviews for its humor, performances, and soundtrack, which featured songs from various rock bands. The film's success led to a sequel, Wayne's World 2, in 1993.

The film's popularity also sparked a brief fashion trend of ripped jeans and black Converse sneakers, known as "Wayne's World fashion". The film has since become a cult classic and is often cited as one of the greatest comedy films of all time. The film's theme song, "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, also experienced a resurgence in popularity and became a cultural touchstone.

Idiocracy

Imagine what would happen to planet in 100 years. Rubbish is everywhere, there no more place to utilize it. The air is polluted with exhaust gases, global warming makes itself felt, the glaciers are melting, and water is polluted with the all kinds of junk. Who will solve all these problems? Where are the smart people? It is difficult to raise children for the intelligent people. They want to give the child everything in order he had grown clever and educated man. Therefore, there are one or two children in these families. Or no children because of the reproductive function issues. But not too smart parents just do not think about it.

A Serious Man

A Serious Man

A Serious Man is probably the best Coen brothers' movie. It is a hilarious parable disguised as anti-Jewish satire. The being Jewish, for authors, is not so much the subject as an occasion for much more interesting and witty conversation. The object of their ridicule is certainly neither the American Tzadik not the Jewish community as a whole, and certainly not God-seeking, but in itself painful mistrust inherent Semites. In general, it seems that anyone with the words "Bar Mitzvah" and "Dibbuk" aches nostalgic parts of the brain, "A Serious Man" will become perhaps the most hilarious film of the year, and this is the important detail in the case with Cohen's. In essence, "A Serious Man," this is "The Simpsons Movie" translated into the universal language of cinema as an everyday way of perceiving the infinite series of pleasant wonders.

Hot Tub Time Machine

Hot Tub Time Machine

Hot Tub Time Machine is probably not perfect sometimes it begins to pronounce different important points about male friendship and the friendship at all. But this is fading to the background of all the things in the film which are done skillfully, delicately and precisely. Getting out of Hollywood in the comedy of this caliber by one per year is a great idea and it would be good at this pace to continue. In general, Hot Tub Time Machine is great crazy comedy with a solid plan over-fulfillment concerning the internal content.

Zombieland

Zombieland

You can threat Zombieland as the horror movie in the relative manner only. With all its hordes of walking dead, with frenzied Woody Harrelson's shears at the ready, gallons of blood and rolls of intestines, horror can only be relative. This is a great, ingenious, cruel comedy, where, however, shifted all the genre framework, where the twelve year old girl is playing with firearm and harsh zombie fighter sweetly bathe children and puppies in the bath; where the main comic is stupid and ridiculous to die. And if the comedian was killed - hence, in general, everything is permitted.

The Banshees of Inisherin

The Banshees of Inisherin

"The Banshees of Inisherin" is a 2022 film directed, written, and produced by Martin McDonagh. It tells the story of two lifelong friends, played by Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, who become estranged, causing unexpected and dangerous consequences for both. The movie is set on a fictional remote island off the west coast of Ireland and also stars Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan. McDonagh previously worked with Farrell and Gleeson in his directorial debut, "In Bruges."

Death at a Funeral

Death at a Funeral

There is a Frank Oz film "Death at a Funeral" of 2007 which stills is one of the best comedies ever. And there is the Nile LaBute's remake "Death at a Funeral" of 2010 which as it turned out was not confounded the original, and at one point even outrides it. Screenwriter of both projects is the same Craig Dean, so you should not expect the different approach to story. Hence, a logical question: Why? Why was it necessary to do all the same, just change the white English actors on the better-known for global audience the black American stars, without even changing one of the key roles Peter Dinklage as a short blackmailer here and there?
