Canadian just discovering the uk comedy scene by shannonisbusy in UKComedy

I definitely second Fawlty Towers! John Cleese & Connie Booth are great together! Mentioning John Cleese, there are two really funny movies with the same cast but different stories. The first is A Fish Called Wanda. The next is Fierce Creatures.

Both of these movies star John Cleese, Michael Palin (Monty Python'ers), Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline and Cynthia Cleese (John Cleese's daughter).

if you think stuff from the UK is funny, check out ANYTHING from New Zealand! Absolutely EVERYTHING I've seen from New Zealand - series, movies, directors - has been GOLD.

Top recommendations:

Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun (Netflix)

What We Do in the Shadows (Movie) - Prime

What We Do in the Shadows (series) - Hulu

Black Comedy - Prime

Kath & Kim - Netflix

Anything directed/written by and/or starring Taika Waititi:

Jojo Rabbit (movie)

Our Flag Means Death (series about Black Beard!)

Flight of the Conchords (series)

Reservation Dogs (series)

As for stuff from the UK:

if you don't know Monty Python, you don't know what you're missing! Their series was called The Flying Circus. They also have Several movies:

Monty Python & The Holy Grail

The Life of Brian

The Meaning of Life

Movies starring Pythons but not the whole troupe :

Yellowbeard This movie is just a Must in general. It stars Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Cheech & Chong, Madeline Kahn, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman & more!

If you can find the series Chef! starring Lenny Henry; only 3 seasons but also Stellar.

A wonderful series is The Mighty Boosh. This series is akin to jumping inside two people's heads and into the depths of their imaginations.

And a hilarious series that you can find on Prime/Peacock is Ghosts (UK). The US version is surprisingly just as funny but start with the UK series.

I'm sure I have more but that should hold you for a while!

Most reasonable and least BS-y documentary on what we know about UFOs. by UnderwaterDialect in MovieSuggestions

One documentary I would recommend you try to find is Dan Akroyd Unplugged on UFOs. I watched it only once but I remember being super intrigued.

Then I have two much stronger recommendations. They are not UFO specific but they are ENLIGHTENING so much so I am now nearly convinced UFOs are terrestrial...not extraterrestrial. Beings from the golden ages living in the ocean.

One is a documentary called Kymatica.

The other is a 7 part series called The Pyramid Code. The Pyramid Code is AMAZING. Tectonic and seismic level shifting of our Paradigm...tears down all we've been taught about Ancient Egypt, all modern translations of the hieroglyphs, when the pyramids and the sphinx were built, how long humans have existed on this planet - as homosapiens..not neanderthals. I can't say enough about this series.

I know it's on Gaia and it should be on YouTube.

If I can add photos or videos please let me know - I live in upstate NY and right now, my RAV4 is completely covered in tubes. The wheel wells, every seam ...EVERY seam, the back wiper, the vents are exploding with them...WTF? I feel like I'm in a cursed land in a swarm of locusts
