This 90’s comedy is a It Happened In One Night kind of comedies. Two stoner friends in a sleepy neighbourhood wish their lives were more eventful until a drug deal near their houses sparks tension among the residents. This is a cult classic film that now everyone knows of and had two sequels made.

Freaky Friday (1976, 1995 & 2003)
I linked both of these films together because they have a similar theme between them but different characters. Both films are about a mother and daughter who don’t see eye-to-eye about life and think each other should change to be more like them. After they both say “I wish I could switch places with her for just one day,” the mother and daughter switch bodies and experience a day in the life of each other’s bodies. The 1976 and 1995 film is based on the children’s novel of the same name by Mary Rodgers from 1972. The book was inspired by the 1882 novel Vice Versa: A Lesson to Fathers by F. Anstey.

Thank God It’s Friday (1978)
This is a musical comedy from the disco 70’s Los Angeles of multiple short stories that intertwine of circumstances and funny outcomes. It’s one of those films better known for the soundtrack than the actual film. They do dance some of their problems away and won an Oscar for music.

The Long Good Friday (1980)
A cockney crime boss tries to become a legitimate property mogul and tries to get an American mafia boss to pay for the repairs of the derelict buildings has a possible future venue for the London Olympics.

It’s considered to be Bob Hopkins’ breakthrough role.
