Movie / 1966 / Comedy

Don't Look Now: We're Being Shot At

Why this pick

The same Louis de Funès–Bourvil contrast powers this larger, more elaborate chase comedy: an ordinary man is swept into escalating danger, with brisk farce and warm comic chemistry.

The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob poster 02

Movie / 1973 / Comedy

The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob

Why this pick

Another Gérard Oury farce built around de Funès’s explosive comic precision, mistaken identities, frantic pursuit, and a plot that keeps accelerating without losing its playful spirit.

The Brain poster 03

Movie / 1969 / Adventure / Comedy / Crime

The Brain

Why this pick

Oury again turns criminals, innocent bystanders, and international travel into a polished comic caper, with broad physical humour and increasingly unruly logistics.

The Italian Job poster 04

Movie / 1969 / Action / Crime / Comedy / Thriller

The Italian Job

Why this pick

Its light-footed crime plot, European locations, cheeky humour, and ingenious vehicular chaos offer a similarly breezy, mischievous alternative to darker gangster stories.

The Restaurant poster 05

Movie / 1966 / Comedy

The Restaurant

Why this pick

Louis de Funès brings the same tightly wound, volatile energy to a compact French farce where small mishaps snowball into manic comic set pieces.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

In this Frenco-Italian gangster parody, a shop keeper on his way to an Italian holiday suffers a crash which totals his car. The culprit can only compensate his ruined trip by driving an American friends car from Napels to Bordeaux, but as it happens to be filled with such contraband as stolen money, jewelry and drugs, the involuntary and unwitting companions in crime soon attract all but recreational attention from the "milieu".
