The less Chevy Chase the better

Fletch and Spies like Us are okay, Hot tub time machine less so

Sleepover is passable family film, Long Kiss Goodnight homage?

I really enjoyed Hot Tub Time Machine but I don't think he's in it enough to call it a Chevy Chase film.

If one was looking for a CC fix I would recommend Community which I think is still on Netflix.

Yes Community is on Netflix. After reading rave reviews I gave it a go. Didn't like it at all. (Premise is a guy pretends to be able to speak Spanish and is tutoring a group of oddballs in university).

Another series that I just thought was rubbish but everyone else was saying it was amazing is Schitts Creek with the Dad from American Pie. I gave it 4 seasons so its not as if I just watched one or 2 episodes.

Excellent show. A must watch for those who haven't seen it.

Sarah Lancashire gives maybe the best performance I've ever seen by an actress in a British Drama

There is still supposed to be a new series in the works.
It's a fantastic show.

I recently saw an estate agent use the word 'Infamous' in an online ad to describe the locality they were trying to sell the house in and all I could think of was that film. I hoped for their sake it was a Three Amigos reference but I think they genuinely made the same mistake as Martin Short's character in the film with regards what the word actually means

Re-watched it recently, possibley on Amazon Prime and it still hols up pretty well.

It was on Netflix for a while but it's gone again afaik. Rewatched it again recently as well with the kids and it is still great.

* always annoys me when people quote a post that doesn't include the title of what is being discussed and I'm scratching my head wondering which Film/TV Show is this? Particularly in a thread that covers many different titles. My own fault for my aging brain not being able to keep up anymore I suppose.

Same here. You can click on the white arrow/blue box icon after the quotes user's name to get back towards the original context.

:eek: That's one for the "I bet you didn't know that " thread!!

Taken from the "How can I prevent a whole load of people from having to go searching through a link, where I can save them all the hassle by adding the info in myself?...oh, wait a minute, I've answered my own question" thread.

Not on Netflix but I did see the Memoirs of an Invisible Man is on Prime, and seeing as we're talking Chevy Chase, I was wondering if it's any good.

5/5

It was a very difficult production apparently with Chevy and director John Carpenter clashing frequently but I think it turned out great. A great cast featuring Micheal McKean

Chevy Chase is infamous for being a complete arsehole to everyone around him on set.

In-famous is where you're MORE than famous. He's not just famous for being an arsehole, he's IN-famous for it.

Does that make him UN-funny?

After re-watching Lost in Translation (not for everyone, but I love it!), I then moved onto Marriage Story. I really wasn't intrigued by this movie but said I'd give it a try. Ended up loving it. It's akin to Lost in Translation on some ways, but the acting is honestly excellent. The writing and directing just made the movie flow seamlessly and felt so real. Would recommend for sure.

Also, finally got around to watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (in the cinema actually, not sure if still on Netflix?) - again, I can understand if some didn't like it, but I enjoyed it. Not amazing, but a good watch.
