Be Kind Rewind

I'm not a big fan of Jack Black. In small doses he's very funny but this can quickly switch to intensely annoying. Luckily this is one of the bearable roles, partly because everything else is so insane too. Michel Gondry has one of the most fertile visual imaginations out there and he uses it to gleeful effect. There's one of the best sight gags (involving a ladder, a chain-link fence and Mos Def) that you'll ever see and the sweded films themselves are hilariously recreated. I was particularly fond of the Rush Hour 2 retread, although the initial Ghostbusters filming is also an absolute delight. Everything culminates in an "original" film about Fats Waller, complete with scratches, flashing and a truly awe-inspiring DIY ethic.
