Nuts in May
I don't post much on here (I'm extremely lazy) but I felt I had to spread the word about this Mike Leigh film from 1976.
About 10 years or so ago, a uni mate of mine produced a videotape of 'At home with Vic & Bob' from christmas 1993 - a crazed mixup of Vic & Bob with various comedy sketches. To end the night was "Nuts In May".
It's a hilarious & infinitely quotable film whilst remaining pretty much plotless. But I can honestly say it's one of the funniest films I've ever seen.
It's a bit marmite: people I've pressed to watch it (watch it watch it watch it!!!) are either crying with laughter by the end or looking at me with a bemused & quizzical "wtf that was shit" expression.

Awesome choice!!!
Leigh is unparalleled IMHO - another even more obscure one to catch from his many '70's films is Grown Ups - some of his work can be unrelentlessly bleak but both Nuts In May and Grown Ups will have you aching with laughter by the end if you can lock into the character-driven approach he has mastered...
