    Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

    I know so many people who thought it was horrible, but I found it to be comic genius.

    Here is a list with different criteria to some of the movies. Some are ones folks just aren't that familiar with, others are ones that people know of but don't receive enough attention and props. They are in no order.

    Kung Fu Hustle(must be with subtitles)

    Living in Oblivion

    Both JAckie Chan - Owen Wilson Shanghai movies.

    The Man Who Knew To Little - It was very funny.

    Going Berserk - Probably John Candy's funniest movie where he was the star.

    The miracle of Morgan's Creek - My favorite Preston Sturges film.

    Mostly because people can't understand half of the jokes.

    Some of the movies listed here are far from underrated, they are classics.

    Is White Men Can't Jump really considered a comedy?

    What else would it be considered?

    Funny, I opened this thread to post about Saving Silverman.

    Other than that, I can really think of anything else right now.
    maybe Bowfinger? The Gods Must Be Crazy?

    If Pecker is the only post-T2 movie you have seen Edward Furlong in, then you need to go out today and rent American History X. Far from a comedy, and it's not great because of anything that Edward Furlong does well, but the movie is freaking outstanding in general and everyone should see it.
