![]() | Dumb And Dumber [DVD] [1995]
Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £2.89 Jim Carries best film. It's seriously hillarious and the jokes still crack you up the n'th time around. Only one comedy rivals it.
|
![]() | Airplane! [DVD] [1980]

|
![]() | Man Bites Dog [1992] [DVD] [1993]

![]() | Happiness [DVD] [1999]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.59 This is one messed up movie and you will love it for it. How it manages to make you laught at certain things i'll never know. Darker than dark comedy.
