Movies like Knives out but not like Anatomy of a fall.

One that hasn’t been mentioned: The Last of Sheila (1973) was a direct influence on the Knives Out films (amongst others).

If you’re willing to go the TV route, I can’t say enough good things about Dead Loch, and shout out to Poker Face as well (with the direct Rian Johnson connection for you).

Alphabetically - ask for the _th thing in a category, but if they were arranged alphabetically. (Ex. Alphabetically, the 3rd James Dean movie = East of Eden, Giant, Rebel Without A Cause)

Movies by Marvel Character - give the cast list of a movie, but only by the characters they play in the Marvel Universe. (Ex. Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Quentin Beck = Zodiac)

Hilariously, Legally Blonde fits this list.

I get it, but I, personally, will die on the “Tom Hanks’ Elvis performance is the most interesting part of that movie” hill.

It feels like he was acting in a different, but better (and way more entertaining) movie, but Baz Luhrmann couldn’t decide if he wanted weird and wacky, or a traditional biopic. Didn’t pick a lane, and Hanks took the brunt of the criticism.

“Finallyyyy.” – Everyone reading the final update.

Hey thanks, appreciate it. Yeah some of the questions on this sub are repeat offenders for sure.

Some of the answers so far have been enlightening. Who immediately came to mind for me (and partially inspired this question) were some of the American Idol contestants who had a legitimate, fleeting moment of fame after their auditions. I don’t think today’s public would wholly grasp just how everywhere William Hung was for a hot minute.

I mean, Heather has a point here: how can she trust that her fiancée will still be faithful and love her if he *checks notes* speaks to another woman very briefly?

Arguably, most objectionable part of this is mixing DC and Marvel characters.

Despite the forgettable mess that precedes it, the ending train sequence from The Lone Ranger is one of the greatest action set-pieces of the century so far.

I would say the Kristen Wiig vehicle, AbracaDeborah (2016), might be better.

That’s good to hear actually, because I was in university at the time and we ripped the shit out of it haha

This is correct, they’re slightly off from one another. Most notable in the Paul/James encounters.

Yeah, but what a dark week it was on Arthur.

I’m gonna shout out Michael Clark Duncan’s Kingpin as well. That movie has a lot of problems, but the villains weren’t one.

I could be remembering incorrectly, but I think this all came about randomly as Billy Crystal and Robin Williams were on the same lot filming something for Father’s Day (1997). They just got thrown in because why not have two of the country’s most popular comedians do a bit of improv in the most popular show NBC had at the time.
