I don't feel like Hot Fuzz is uncommon.
No luck catching them swans then?
It's just the one swan, actually
Idiocracy is the funniest comedy I've ever seen, but its becoming like a documentary of our time now.. And that wasn't intended I think.
Is Kung Fury uncommon enough? Most people I talk to irl never heard of it
Inspired by another answer in this thread, Kung Fu Hustle. It's also a pretty good Kung Fu movie, similar to how Shawn of the Dead manages to be both a comedy and a pretty good zombie movie.
Clue. One of Tim Curry's finest performances. Madeline Kahn's, too.
One of Tim Curry's finest performances
That's like saying one of the Beatles best songs. He is outstanding in everything, so all of his performances are one of his best.
Big Trouble in Little China
Nothing but Trouble
What We Do in the Shadows (the movie, not the series). For something more obscure, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn. Yes, both feature Jemaine Clement
Mystery Men!
The TERRIBLY mysterious Sphinx. The Shoveller, who shovels VERY well. You can't go wrong with Mystery Men, absolutely rewatching this asap!
Also Tom Waits!
Death to Smoochy is criminally underrated. Robin Williams and Ed Norton are so good in it.
Top Secret! (1984), a WW2 parody featuring Val Kilmer. From the same guys who made Airplane!.
If everyone hasn't watched Hot Tub Time Machine, everyone should watch Hot Tub Time Machine.
Is it fair to say that Mel Brooks movies are uncommon now? Have they gotten old enough that people today are generally ignorant of them? If so, "Blazing Saddles", "History of the World: Part 1", "Young Frankenstein", and "Spaceballs" are incredibly worthy of a watch.
Very uncommon. Arguably one of the most disturbing comedy's ever made.
Meet the Feebles is a 1989 musical comedy produced and directed by The Lord of the Rings mastermind Peter Jackson. The film is set behind the scenes at a Muppet Show-like theatrical company, and it nods to The Muppet Movie with its story about raggedy puppet entertainers dreaming of making it big. Except in Meet the Feebles, most of the puppets are diseased, drug-addicted, and / or sexually perverse. Jackson, his partner Fran Walsh, and fellow New Zealand weirdos Danny Mulheron and Stephen Sinclair collaborated on a screenplay that weaves together about half a dozen subplots; the most prominent involves the talented hippopotamus Heidi, whose lover (and the troupeβs impresario) Bletch is cruelly dismissive and adulterous. As the Feebles prepare for the show that could be their big break, their personal problems start to spill over onstage.
'My cousin Vinny' seems relatively uncommon, and is a beautiful courtroom comedy drama.
Great film but not uncommon. She won the Oscar for her performance.
Uncommon to the young folks. Pretty much everyone over the age of 35 has seen my cousin Vinny. It was also super popular and well known and is still definitely a great movie.
I feel like "The Man Who Knew Too Little" is pretty uncommon even though it's a Bill Murray movie. One of my favourite comedies of all time!
Hercules returns
Grandma's boy
Fat pizza
Hudson hawk
True lies
The Kentucky fried movie
My personal favorite tucker and dale vs evil.
Edit: also Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
My Cousin Vinny.
Freddie Got Fingered is a masterpiece that, when released, was one of the worst rated movies ever.
Itβs so incredibly ahead of its time, coming out before all the Adult Swim absurdist stuff that we all know and love.
Bless Tom Green.
Oscar.

Also Adam's Apples (Adams Γ¦bler) and if you like that also The Green Butchers.
The Intouchables (SIC). The original French film with Omar Sy. Not the pointless Hollywood remake. Its my favourite comedy of all time.
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. Early Steve Martin love letter to classic film noir. Everything is played super straight and it just works
Idle Hands.
2000-era disaffected teen horror-comedy. Not shy about the horror elements. Absolutely bombed. Basically a forgotten stoner comedy that you reeeally shouldn't watch high.
Devon Sawa, Seth Green, Elden Henson, Jessica Alba, Vivica Fox.
A Night at The Opera has some of the funniest physical gags I've seen in a movie. It is from 1935, but I found it very entertaining.
