About 30 minutes longer than it shouldve been and most of the climax with Toby couldve been cut, but other than that it was an instant classic.
The whole "camera and sound" sequence had me rolling in the aisles wheezing with laughter. Especially when Bolin from Legend of Korra said "Who the fuck sneezed!?"
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre.
Guy Ritchie directed - Josh Hartnet is great, rest of the cast is also great and the movie is pretty funny/good.
I think you'll dig it
no one asked but when i went to see once upon a time in hollywood the movie was so bad that every time the screen turned black i was hoping it was done 😹 probably partially bc i needed to pee rlly bad
If we're talking movies immersed in tbe meta of the film industry Babylon is a devisive wxample that i love. Its about 30 minutes longer than it should be but its still an instant classic imo.
Living in Oblivion is great as well.hilarious performance by Peter Dinklage as well
Two films with Peter O’Toole fit this bill: MY FAVORITE YEAR and THE STUNT MAN. Both very funny (MFY is more light while Stunt Man is more satirical) and O’Toole was Oscar nominated for both.
Tropic Thunder
That was going to be my one and only answer...
Thank you!

Birdman
Ed Wood, The Player, Day For Night, Singin in the Rain, Hail Caesar.
+1 for The Player
I was coming here to say Singin' in the Rain! 
Well of course we talk, don't everybody? :D
Hail Caesar is massively underrated
It's honestly my favorite movie of theirs from that decade, but it's *always* lower than the others in Coen brothers rankings. Never have gotten it.
The Truman Show Boogie Nights The Disaster Artist
Truman wasn't acting though
Everyone one else around him was
Babylon
Yessir, Brad Pitt was so tragic 🥲

Call me Lawrence please
Indirectly, but you might enjoy the Julia Roberts scene in Oceans 12
I think that bit is super funny. But it(and most of the movie) is ruined a little bit by the twist of the film.
