Well, Trashy, you said you were on a comedy mission right now, so this is one you've either surely seen at one time or really, REALLY need to see now.
When you think "80's comedy", there's only a few names that instantly pop up. So I'll give you a few "Guess Who" type clues.
He's not black.
And he's not fat.
"Does he have grey hair?"
Yep, it's Steve Martin.
Like Tom Hanks before him with "Big", we could probably have an entire sub-section devoted to Steve Martin movies. Am I going to talk about the gleefully dumb "The Jerk?" Or the peerless, genre defining "Planes, Train's & Automobiles"? Nope. We're here to talk about "The Man With Two Brains."
A mash-up of Aeroplane-style sight-gags and spoofing sci-fi B-movies, Martin is at his 80's best here, Kathleen Turner is pretty much the sexiest creature alive and the whole thing doesn't let up for a minute, and hell, Ash even covered the "You Belong to Me" song as a b-side. One of the best comedies of the 80's, no question.
