Max Bialystock is a washed up Broadway producer. Leo Bloom is a timid accountant. When the two meet, their combined expertise points them toward the ultimate scam: Raise more money than you need for a SURE Flop Broadway Show. No one will expect anything back and you can pocket the difference. They need the ultimate bad play to do this. They find it in the musical 'Springtime for Hitler'. This is Mel Brooks at his best - an absolutely hilarious piece of cinematic gold.

One hundred superstar comedians tell the same very, VERY dirty, filthy joke - one shared privately by comics since Vaudeville. Comedy veterans and co-creators Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza capitalise on their insider status and invite over 100 of their closest friends, (who happen to be some of the biggest names in entertainment, from Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams to Chris Rock and Billy Connolly, just to name a few) to reminisce, analyse, deconstruct and deliver their own versions of the world's dirtiest joke, an old burlesque routine, too extreme to be performed in public, called 'The Aristocrats'. The joke itself is structured to have the same beginning and the same punch line at the end. Yet each comedian that tells it has their own variation on the middle. And that's where the freedom (and generally the vulgarity) comes in.
USA.2005. Director:Paul Provenza. With:Chris Rock, Robin Williams, Bill Maher, Whoopi Goldberg, Carrie Fisher, Phyllis Diller, Carrot Top, Eddie Izzard, Jason Alexander, Hank Azaria, Drew Carey, Billy Connolly.

Mr. Incredible is a superhero; or he used to be, until a surge of lawsuits against superheroes submitted by the people they've saved forced the government to hide them in witness protection programs so they could lead normal, anonymous lives. Now known exclusively by his secret identity, Bob Parr, he lives with his wife Helen, formerly Elastigirl, and their three children Violet, Dash, and Jack Jack. He works as an insurance claims specialist, and he's fed up with his pushy boss and his immoral profession, but his wife's worked too hard to build a normal life for her family to abide his nostalgia for heroism. When Mr. Incredible's offered the chance to play the role of hero again by a mysterious informant, he jumps at the opportunity, but when it turns out to be a trap set by an old nemesis he had a hand in corrupting, the whole family must reveal themselves to save Mr. Incredible and countless innocents.

The Marx Brothers second film was a box office smash that wowed the Depression audience with their zany brand of humor, as they cause chaos at a weekend society party where they mock high society. It's based on their hit Broadway musical/comedy. it's Captain Spaulding, the noted explorer, returns from Africa and attends a gala party held by Mrs. Rittenhouse. A painting displayed at that party is stolen, and the Marx's help recover it. Well, maybe 'help' isn't quite the word, this is the Marx Brothers after all...Energetic, nonsensical, brilliant and plain looney this is classic comic cinema from the masters.
USA.1930 Director:Victor Heerman. Cast: Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx, Chico Marx, Zeppo Marx, Lillian Roth, Margaret Dumont.
