The Good Stuff: Nighty Night

I found this series through an article about dark UK comedies and this series does not fail to deliver. Written and starring Julia Davis, she plays Jill, a sociopathic, narcissistic salon owner who will realizes that her husband's cancer diagnosis is the perfect way to steal the handsome doctor next door away from his disabled wife. Like a suburban Francis Urquhart, she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

The Good Stuff: Some Like it Hot

This 1959 comedy consistently ranks as the funniest movie of all time and it is one of my all time favorites. Direct by Billy Wilder, it stars Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis as two depression-era jazz musicians who dress in drag and join up with an all girls' band (and Marilyn Monroe) to escape the mob after they accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day massacre. It doesn't get any faster or funnier, folks.

The Good Stuff: Quick Change

If you call yourself a Murray fan, but have never seen this movie please turn in your ironic Murray t-shirt and decoder ring with the Sargent-at-Arms on your way out.
