    Four Rooms is great. Haven't sat through that in years,but its quality. The witches coven, the dont misbehave kids, the couple's therapy and of course the bet at the end, and Tim Roth is spot on as the glue to hold it all together.

    I forgot a couple of great ,funny films,
    Without A Clue - This may be controversial but I think it's Michael Caine's best film.
    The Longshot - A brilliant Harvey Korman/Tim Conway film

    It's something else. The first room wasnt so great in my opinion, but then it just goes mental. They two wee kids haha, the way Tim Roth totally breaks character near the end when he wants to quit hahaha. What a * new year. And the ending tops it off, along with the song that plays as it ends haha.
    One of the best endings I've seen, priceless

    While all of those comedic teams etc made some really funny films, if you want them included, please specify which ones. It's been the rule regarding franchises, so it's the same for teams.
