Has to be "Ed".

I rewatched it earlier this afternoon and COULD not stop belly laughing. They just don't make them like this anymore. The 90's was booming with great comedies and this one is often slept on, criminally.

The scene with the icecream killed me. The whole thing is a laugh from beginning to end, with feel good plot points executed well. OTHER THAN ED, what are some other absolute gems from the 90s that make you laugh til your bladder is strained?
 
Some of these just never gained traction and others are good films that are somewhat forgotten because of the directors bigger films:

Dirty Work
Freaked (The other dude from Bill & Ted made a good film)
Wild At Heart
Brain Candy
The Player
Drunken Master 2
Ed Wood (Burton's best)
Barton Fink (Coens best and crazy underrated)
The Hudsucker Proxy (another underrated Coen film)
 
Even though it got solid reviews, I feel like Bowfinger (1999, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy) is still pretty underrated

Yeah I think it’s definitely underrated or at least was under-viewed. Two comedic legends, a funny premise, and some absolutely hilarious scenes (crossing the highway, Kit’s reaction when the screenwriter’s face starts melting in Chubby Rain, etc)

The great Terence Stamp is perfectly cast.

Keep it together. Keep it together. Keep it together.


Plus Heather Graham and her subplot are very funny too.

Very solid comedy.

90s was a pretty great decade for comedy in general.
