The Death of Stalin (2017)

Following Joseph Stalin's death in 1953, members of the dictator's Central Committee, who have names but are otherwise indistinguishable in appearance or by their garbled political motivations, gather and swear and call each other 'turd coils' for nearly two hours, in this headache-inducing and laugh-free "hilarious comedy of terrors".

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)

Siegfried and Roy-style magicians find their Vegas-style magic show under threat from a brash, grungy street performer, in a well-executed comedy that is often very funny, with a final scene that had me in tears of laughter.
