Why this pick
Like Putney Swope, this is a wildly irreverent 1960s satire that turns institutions into absurd machinery, using deadpan performances, abrupt tonal shifts, and an increasingly anarchic comic logic.
Why this pick
Its loose, black-and-white counterculture energy, taboo-poking humor, and playful formal experimentation make it a close companion to Putney Swope’s scrappy, destabilizing satire.
Why this pick
This apocalyptic absurdist comedy shares Putney Swope’s gleeful contempt for social order, favoring surreal sketches, exaggerated types, and jokes that become stranger rather than tidier.
Why this pick
Buñuel’s compact, dryly blasphemous satire has the same delight in puncturing authority and decorum, with austere images repeatedly invaded by outrageous comic incongruity.
Why this pick
A deliberately cheap-looking underground farce, it matches Putney Swope’s handmade freedom, broad caricature, and willingness to push a simple premise into proudly tasteless absurdity.
