Cave Of Cool Classic

I was over at Fourthgradenothing and read her reminder of Rodney Dangerfield. Got me thinking about the TWO movies of his that are on my top ten all time favorite comedy movies list - 'Easy Money' and 'Back to School'. I could quote both movies by heart and the laughs never get tired because the humor, though raunchy, came from a place of love.

And how great is this scene with Sam Kinison? The guy was a freakin' force of nature and this brilliant clip illustrates his comedy style perfectly. The slow boil to insanity that he does is endlessly funny to me....in small doses.

Check out the link below to see the entire post and many more about the coolest period of popular culture - the 80s. Her posts get to the heart of the things that were important to all of us back when popular culture was having a HUGE effect on the people we were becoming. The choices in what we wanted to watch or take an interest in were dizzying.
