> [@blondebear](#): > > I would like to register a complaint to those who recommended Role Models: I was all jazzed to stream the movie when I got home…but noooooo, it isn’t available to watch instantly! …so I added it to my Netflix queue, and it came in the mail today. Fun, lightweight movie, certainly qualifies as being “wacky”. It did, however, make me want to go back and watch [Darkon](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462246/) and [Monster Camp](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0970948/) again. (MC is available to watch instantly on Netflix) ---

My vote is for Kung Fu Hustle. The End. ---

> [@BeeDubU2](#): > > My vote is for Kung Fu Hustle. The End. I just bought a new copy of this one for $7.99 at Target. Pretty well impossible to go wrong at that - though I still want the original Chinese versions of it and [“Shaolin Soccer”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286112/). Wacky to the max. ---

This one is wacky but considering the times (1969) it was groovy. Tony Randall decides to move his family into an underwater house in **Hello Down There**. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IgO-13iAz4) ---

What nobody for “Howard the Duck”.? ---

> [@teela\_brown](#): > > A very, very common observation made by people about _The Big Lebowski_ is that they like it more every time they see it. That’s true for me. I liked it ok the first time, liked it ok the 2nd time, by the 3rd time, I thought it was one of the best movies ever made! The Coens are like that. Multiple viewings always reward. (Btw, if any Lebowski fans in Chicago are reading and interested, it’ll be a midnight show at the very comfortable Century Evanston 18 this Friday, the 14th.) OpalCat, have you see **Raising Arizona** and **O Brother, Where Art Thou?** They’re wacky and brilliant at the same time. ---
