Good one, classic homage to the aesthetic. I hadn't realized Christopher Lloyd was still working, and then I looked at his wikipedia and holy shit he works a lot! 9 movies just in the last 3 years, though I will not be investigating their quality

Between The Lines is a great movie, and that is a wonderful poster

Please Don't Eat My Mother! (1973)

Kim Kimberly, Wednesday, 15 May 2024 18:58 (two years ago)

not all that busy/claustrophobic, but it has the caricatures and it sounds like the right kind of film: Car Trouble (1986)

Platinum Penguin Pavilion (soref), Saturday, 25 May 2024 17:42 (two years ago)

In the throes of a midlife crisis, a man buys a 1965 Jaguar E-Type[2] sports car and it immediately becomes his new love. What he does not know is that his wife is as attracted to the Jaguar salesman as he is to the car. The wife and lover experience penis captivus in the car after a reckless accident.

Thank You!

Wow, that's well done. The best of the contemporary tributes to the style?

Hundreds Of Beavers is much better in design and in craft (both are hobbled if caricature is your focus)

Odd connection upstream. The guy who composed the music for Hot Potato (1978) was my high school music teacher.

Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 14 August 2024 08:19 (one year ago)

Just clocked that the Saturday Night poster riffs on the Atlas sculpture outside 30 Rock, which is a nice touch.

jaymc, Wednesday, 14 August 2024 13:19 (one year ago)

The Atlas sculpture is a riff on Davis' Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World poster.

I feel like a lot of Zucker-adjacent movies had this style.

National Lampoon's Movie Madness (1982)

Flenniken states that a test screening of the film in Rhode Island was met with extremely negative response, and that audience members tore up the seats in the theater to express their dislike of the film.[1]

Orson Welles, who was the mentor of Henry Jaglom, convinced him to accept the directing job on this film.

Ughhh. I was thinking "Looks like there's no one familiar in this, and that they'll have a star cameo" - and then I see "and JASON ALEXANDER."
