The Safdie brothers are turning towards TV after their most successful film to date, and teaming up with Nathan Fielder and Showtime for an upcoming comedy titled, 'The Curse.'
Released 15 years ago, 'Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story' fell a bit short in delivering consistent laughs but it was incredibly great at pointing out the clichés of the music biopic genre.
10 years ago this month, the raunchy, Paul Feig directed 'Bridesmaids' was released and became a true watershed moment in comedy, for many reasons...
Judd Apatow's comedy, which marks its 15th anniversary this week, has become known as one of the funnier and more charming comedies of the new century. But it's also notable as the start of many things that we now take for granted.
When 'Southland Tales' arrived in November of 2007, 15 years ago last month, it was an immediate flop, a strange movie that audiences couldn't make heads or tails of. But they were wrong.
By 2006 Sacha Baron Cohen had been playing Borat for years, but the movie is what burst the character into the American comedy pantheon, and helped expose things about America that weren't so obvious 15 years ago.
Released 20 years ago, the Eddie Griffin-led 'Undercover Brother' arrived as a loving tribute and parody of '70s blaxploitation films; consistently funny with one of the best soundtracks since the turn of the century.
The early 2000s were a very different time. That's one of the only explanations for the existence of 'Freddy Got Fingered' ― the unreconstructed comedic id of Tom Green.
'The Birdcage' wouldn’t be all that shocking if it came out now, but 25 years ago, it was a truly watershed thing to be the subject of a highly popular studio comedy.
In 1996's savage satire 'Citizen Ruth', Alexander Payne and lead star, Laura Dern, did the near impossible: make a successful movie about abortion, and make it a comedy to boot.
Made in 1993, 'CB4' was a consistently funny satire of the hip-hop music and culture of that specific era and likely Chris Rock's best movie he played a lead role in.
'Singles' wasn't Cameron Crowe's best film, but, it truly captured that brief moment in rock and roll history where '90s grunge had Seattle at the center of the universe.

Arriving 15 years ago now, 'Juno' is one of those movies where you're either on its wavelength or you're not. If you are, it's wonderful, cute, and heartwarming. If you're not, it's practically unwatchable.
The film had a fun premise, funny gags, and it was missing a lot of the fat often associated with Sandler comedies; but probably its biggest accomplishment was being able to see modern cultural phenomena coming before its time.
15 years ago this week, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay released 'Talladega Nights', a uniquely genius film about NASCAR that could appeal equally to people who are devoted fans of auto racing and those who hate and look down on it.

While 'Jingle All the Way' was far from Arnold Schwarzenegger's biggest hit, it's absurd comedy, strong cast, and meme-worthy 'Turbo Man' antics have firmly planted it among TV's yearly Holiday rotation, and it's more than worth a revisit.
The 1990s were a big decade for Hollywood studio-produced political comedies and satires, and the high-concept story of 'Dave' was certainly one of the most heartwarming.
Released 30 years ago, Mike Myers' 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' was something of a flop, but it's gained a bit of a cult following in the years since thanks to some noteworthy gags.
