Default Looking for a certian kind of comedy

I'm looking to find foreign comedies like "Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels", "Snatch", "Full Monty", films like that. Any ideas? I love that style of comedy (not sure what that style is called).

totally different genre, but i liked russian dolls, which is a sequel to the spanish apartment. i never saw the spanish apartment, but i'm sure it's pretty similar in style. maybe try those two?

Spanish Apartment? Russian Dolls? What came next, Big Fat Greek Wedding?

Thanks, I'll check those two out.

What about Shawn of the Dead? It's a zombie flick, but it's British funny (like Full Monty funny, not like Monty Python funny).

Edit to add...I just checked out Spanish Apartment on Netflix and all it came up with is L'Auberge Espagnole also titled Spanish Apartment/Euro Pudding. Is this the same flick?

Shaun of the Dead is a good movie but I like the british comedy TV shows more.

Movies:

And Now For Something Completely Different <-- Monty Python
Pink Panther
Clockwise
A fish called Wanda
Ali G indahouse <--- Insane
Kevin and Perry Go Large <--- Harry Enfield at his peak
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Most of these movies aren't in the same catagory as Snatch but these are some of the movies I enjoyed the most.


If you like british comedy then you will love these shows.

Little Britain 1,2 and 3 <-- $%&$/#!& Hilarious
Flying Circus <-- Monty Python, need I say more?
Alo Alo <--- a bit of an classic but funny
Falwty Towers <-- John Cleese in his own way
Yes prime minister <--Kinda like Alo Alo but in the late eighties/early nineties
Blackadder <--- Mr. Bean himself, Rowan Atkinson.
Mr. Bean
Harry Enfield <--- ca '90-'00 early shows are the best
Ali G <--- watch the birth of all of Sachas characters.

yep that's the one. like i said before, i actually haven't seen that one...but the sequel was fun to watch so i'm pretty sure that one is as well. russian dolls was subtitled but spoken in quite a few languages as the characters are from all over europe.
