Love Miss Congeniality and can rematch it every time it’s on TV even in the edited form...which sucks. Kindergarten Cop is so funny especially when he has to deal with these kids.

Your second choice made me think about <i>Watermelon Man</i> in which a racist white guy wakes up to find himself black. It's a hilarious film that I doubt could be made today without some huge backlash. And from a surrealistic perspective it's really weird at many points.<br /><br />So happy to have discovered your blog as surrealism is a favorite genre of mine. <br /><br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185673993339880805.post-57564021250621764982019-06-14T13:26:45.323-07:002019-06-14T13:26:45.323-07:00Agree!Agree!Ronyell (a.k.a.

But when Bradley is assassinated by Bulgarian arms dealer Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne) Susan convinces agency head Elaine Crocker (Allison Janney) to let her go out into the field to try and basically save the world! McCarthy kicks some serious butt in this ripper of a comic spoof with able help from Miranda Hart as Susan’s goofy friend and a hilarious performance by Jason Statham as a fellow agent who thinks he’s the greatest but is in reality a buffoon.<br /><br />The Street with No Name (1948)-FBI Agent Gene Cordell (Mark Stevens) goes undercover to investigate the seedy underworld of Skid Row. Gene joins a gang of vicious thugs who are responsible for recent murders and helps them plan a heist; unbeknownst to the criminals, they'll be playing right into a police set-up. Unfortunately, manic crime boss Alec Stiles (Richard Widmark) knows that one of his underlings is an informer, and it's only a matter of time until he figures out which of his men is the undercover cop. Gritty noir with a fantastic Widmark.<br /><br />House of Bamboo (1955)-A reworking of The Street with No Name. US undercover agent Eddie Kenner (Robert Stack) arrives in postwar Tokyo to infiltrate a violent crime ring run by former GI Sandy Dawson (Robert Ryan) and falling into a relationship with Mariko (Shirley Yamaguchi) the widow of one of the gang members. As he gets closer to exposing the organization he risks being exposed himself. Once again it’s the villain this time enacted by the great Ryan who stands out.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
