Trailer Park Boys (2001)
One of the best shows I've seen
And I watch WAYYY TOO MUCH TV AND MOVIES. This show is one of the funniest shows I've seen so far. The characters are great, I especially love Ricky-obviously. The fact that there is a character who refuses to wear shirts should make you want to watch this on it's own.
I read a comment that said it's isn't like real trailer park life in Nova Scotia, and maybe not. But it's a pretty damn accurate portrayal of life in a U.S. trailer park in the south. I mean, I've seen these people at Wal-Mart...all of them. There's a Jim Lehey everywhere, you just have to look hard enough.
Don't forget to watch The Mighty Boosh!
Omnibus: Dance of the Seven Veils (1970)
Hilarious!
This documentary is BRILLIANT! I had the luck of seeing Ken Russel speak and present three of his films at a film festival last year. My friend and I got an interview with him for a news article, he told us the whole story about the Strauss estate. Apparently he swiped a copy of the original reel, and has been carrying it around ever since the 70's. The film depicts Strauss having a picnic with Hitler (because of his supposed connections with the Nazi party) and letting Hitler ride upon his shoulders as they frolic through a feild, handing out Strauss' records which have a swastikas in the centers.
The music goes so well with the scenes, it was a long documentary but I laughed almost all the way through it. I hope others are able to see it eventually.
