Comedy: The Naked Gun
Before Scary Movie, Teen Movie, Epic Movie, Superhero Movie and all those other recent slap-stick/spoof movies was the original Leslie Nielsen comedy The Naked Gun. Nielsen plays the dead-pan and dead-brained Lt. Frank Drebin, who is hot on the heels of Mister Big, a villain behind the death of his partner (played by O.J. Simpson). The Naked Gun delivers a constant stream of hilarious gags and one-liners, and is certainly one of the greatest comedies of all time.

Meet Amelie -- a withdrawn, imaginative, and impossibly adorable young woman in Paris, who is compelled by an irrepressible desire to improve the lives of her unhappy Parisian neighbors. She orchestrates a series of matchmakings and anonymous pranks. But when it comes to her own happiness, who will help her? Amelie is a delightful French film with a lively soundtrack and beautiful cinematography.
