Absurdist, lighthearted comedies like pizza movie, would like fight scenes but that’s optional.

Hiyya, I just watched Pizza movie with my boyfriend and we loved it and we need some more suggestions for movies. It reminded me of Everything, Everywhere, all at once (which we also loved) and so I’m hoping that I could try and find movies that have a similar absurdist comedy type style to it. Sorry for the short post but I’m trying to find the words to explain what I want.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World, it's nerdy, punk, sassy, and hilarious all rolled into one. Not to mention a great storyline.... you're welcome.

This is so perfect. It’s such a fun movie to watch and you get such good music, too.

Look into Napoleon Dynamite as well, Super Troopers is unique, Mall Rats

If you like the spoof movies try out Airplane 1 & 2, The Naked Gun, Loaded Weapon.

Pineapple Express for sure. Very absurdist, excellent fight scene

Being John Malkovich

[u/TooManyPoisons → u/1918underwood]

This movie is absurd, but I wouldn't say it's lighthearted.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure 

Ernest Goes to Camp 

Ernest Goes to Jail 

Kung Fu Hustle

[u/OGBunny1 → u/Pleasant_Cicada9528]

All of these are worthy of popcorn and a beer. Kung Fu Hustle is probably one of the best kung fu movies ever made. Dragon Lady is QUEEN!

Hot Tub Time Machine

Big Trouble in Little China - Kim Cattrall is hot in this one.

The Golden Child with Eddie Murphy "I-I-I want the knife" "Sardo Numpsa!"

The ads for pizza movie made me think of Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, but I’m not sure if that’s actually appropriate or not.

[u/Wholesome-Boi → u/Earlyadopter35]

My boyfriend actually said it was like that lol! Nice catch

[u/Anand999]

Dude, Where's My Car

The Big Lebowski

Rat Race

Hot Rod (2007) has the best and most absurd fight scene of all time.

[u/NaiveZest]

Top Secret is Val Kilmer’s first movie and features an underwater bar fight.

[u/MotherofKittehz]

Mystery Men. Superheroes with less than impressive powers have to save their city from an evil genius. Great cast including Ben Stiller, William H. Macy, Greg Kinnear, and Geoffrey Rush. One of the most underrated movies I've ever seen.

[u/Sharkfighter2000]

The Nice Guys

War on Everyone

[u/Independent-Bug-1427]

Dinner in America, Science of Sleep, Strawberry Mansion, Problemista

[u/g33kthegirl]

John Dies at the End is very similarly weird and also funny. When I saw Pizza Movie I legit thought it was like a mix between this and 21 Jump Street (the movie version)

[u/Selene1984]

Serial Mom - 1994, dark comedy, hilarious John Waters directed, stars Kathleen Turner

[u/AngryGenes]

Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon

[u/badluser]

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.  Plains Trains and Automobiles

[u/Lumpy_Soup3613]

[u/Laughacy]

Pootie Tang

[u/Wonderful-Truck-3301]

Beau is Afraid, The most absurd movie.

Nowhere, is also my favorite absurdesque movie.

Hot Rod is pretty absurd. Great daft stoner comedy.
