Groucho and Bob Hope both made a habit of talking directly to camera.
Jack Benny, too. (Actually with Benny it was mostly just a look). Makes sense as they all got their start in vaudeville, where interacting with the audience was probably par for the course. Gets a laugh from me every time.

No opinions on Phish but making fun of Studio 60 never gets old.

Or Nicole Kidman as a 20 year old neurosurgeon.

Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines.
They were wisecracking, tapdancing cops!

I think I'd rather rewatch The Slender Thread.

So this movie doesn't want us to suspend disbelief but rather beat it to death and bury it in a shallow grave.

He's from Mars. She's from Venus. That's all you need.

Sticky gravity, you say?

Denouement? It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Oja: Up to your old tricks, I see.
OW: Why not? I'm a charlatan.

Australia considers suing Baz Luhrmann for making it look bad in Australia.

"We're in the stickiest situation since Sticky the Stick Insect got stuck on a sticky bun."

Read my mind. Wouldn't change a frame. Everybody's best performance.
And the most erotic kissing scene ever.

Wow! Can't go wrong with Wodehouse and Chuck Jones.

Thank you so much for reminding me of The Phantom Tollbooth !

My only quibble with Casablanca is that Peter Lorre doesn't get enough screentime. Other Bogart movies that would get my vote are his first two with Bacall: To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep. Oh and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. And The Maltese Falcon, except for Astor's hairdo.

+ Moondance, Veedon Fleece and Into the Music.

My fave guests are Bill Bailey, Sean Lock, David Mitchell, Jo Brand and Rob Brydon but as they're the most common panelists I'm guessing that isn't a controversial opinion.
Then there's Phil Jupitus, Ronni Ancona, Clive Anderson, Sandi Toksvig and Sue Perkins. Even Jeremy Clarkson. Yeah, I like most episodes.
Not too

Give Janel Moloney a sit-com, instead!
