"American Pie" and "Groundhog Day" (funny enough, but I mean, c'mon...), but neither "Dr. Strangelove" nor "clerks?"
This list has a funny idea of funny.
There's something rotten in the state of Denmark, folks.
By the way, anyone familiar with Stanley Kubrick will know that he wasn't unfamiliar with the term "potzer" as he used to play chess with the professionals and hustlers in and around Central Park sometime around the early fifties (probably later, incognito, I'm sure...even before he buggered off for permanent displacement as a Briton...)
Though I have seen "Searching For Bobby Fischer," the dual use of the term "potzer" during "Chasing Amy" always make me mindful of Stanley's ghost and that ain't all bad.
