Lord
Love A Duck
A little-seen
black comedy from 1966 about pederasty, incest, obsession and murder.
Perfect for the holidays!

Hands
on a Hard Body
No,
it's not porn. It's even better: A comic documentary about quirky
Texans who compete to see who can keep their hands on a truck the
longest.

One,
Two, Three
Next
time someone is going on and on about "His Girl Friday"
or "The Lady Eve," just say, "What about 'One, Two,
Three?'" When they look at you blankly, shake your head and
say, "No list of screwball comedies is complete with Wilder's
'One, Two, Three,'" or something equally pretentious.

Rushmore,
Criterion Collection
Forget
the movie itself, the commentary by Wes Anderson, Owen Wilson and
Jason Schwartzman, and the Max Fischer Players adaptations of Armageddon
and The Truman Showthis disc also includes an
episode of the Charlie Rose show. How cool is that?

Election
Just
make sure your mom's not in the room when that guy's like, "Her
pussy gets SO wet!" and we can pretty much guarantee that you'll
enjoy this film.

The
Newsroom
Like
"The Larry Sanders Show" but darker and more Canadian,
"The Newsroom" is one of the funniest things that has
ever been on television. Canadian television.

Brazil,
Criterion Collection
In
his commentary, director Terry Gilliam remarks that he likes to
include elements that 90 percent of his audience won't get in order
to reward the ten percent that does and to inspire everyone to pay
even closer attention. We do that kind of thing at Modern Humorist
all the time.

The
PrisonerVHS, DVD
"I
am not a number! I am Patrick McGoohan, the reclusive creator and
star of this weird-ass '60s television series!"
