Curry plays that role fantastically, like the transvestite in Rocky. Full of dark sexual menace, he is an expert at it!

Finally we found a good Curry

The movie I would pick is "Trancers". A definite B movie, almost no film production budget, but it just worked.

A long time ago my wife and I watched an indie film about a guy who got trapped in a neighborhood house for 4 to 5 days, lived on what he could find in the fridge etc. The last scene of the flick was him sitting with his buds telling the story and the last line was: "You know the worst part? There was no beer." At that point I had realized we had seen something and that it had our attention the whole time.
For the life of me I don't remember what it was called.
+1 for Tremors. "They're under the gall dang ground!"

Did you notice Howard's cameo at the end of [^]Guardians of the Galaxy?
Will Rogers never met me.

Great timing, Mike! The temp dropped 10 degrees yesterday, and is supposed to climb back to normal by the end of the week.
Will Rogers never met me.

Yeah we're in Fredonia right now and its 80s so yeah we hit it right, at least here. We were going to Yellowstone in a couple of weeks but temps there are getting cold so I think we will try going this week, temps are supposed to rise for several days. Haven't drove in the snow for many years and never pulling a camper.

An old Mel Brooks film - The Thirteen Chairs. Never seen it associated with his film lists, but I think it was one of his best.

Does Fight Club qualify? It's IMHO a masterpiece, among the best movies ever made, but AFAIR wasn't exactly successful.

Braindead (or Dead, Alive in some places) is a great horror comedy. And his two earlier movies (meet the Feebles and Bad Taste) were similarly great if you like the genre

Little Shop of Horrors
Ultra low budget, greatest comedy scene ever - the Dentist - Steve Martin & Bill Murray.
Also Sigourney Weaver & Dan Ackroyd !!
Several versions and endings - all great.

Black Dynamite. A hilarious movie that deserved much more love than it got.

The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997) with Bill Murray. Laughed through the entire thing, but most people I mention it to have never even heard of it. It had a $20M budget and only made $13.7M, and it has a 41% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I love it.
