Top 5 Best Comedy Friend Groups in Hollywood & Their Best Movies

 By: Weston Swift


    To clear things up this ranking will make a lot more sense once you see the actual form, but i've always been fascinated with the friend groups in hollywood such as Adam Sandler and the happy madison crew, or the Will Ferrell faction. I think I like this subject so much due to the fact I want to be friends with all these people, but honestly who doesn't...

P.S. You will see some names on a couple of groups, some comedians just get a long with everyone *cough.. Paul Rudd.. cough*

1. The Judd Apatow misfits 

For those of you who don't know Judd Apatow is widely regarded as the biggest comedy director in Hollywood. He has mega-hits such as, The 40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked-Up, and Bridesmaids. 

The Personnel: Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jason Segel, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Steve Carrol, Craig Robinson, Jay Baruchel, Bill Hader

Top Movies: Knocked Up, Bridesmaids, This is 40, Anchor-Man, Trainwreck, Forgetting Sarah Marshall


2. Will Ferrell & Adam Mckay Man-comedies 

This actor and director combo is deadly, if these two are attached the movie automatically becomes a blockbuster

The Personnel: Will Ferrel, John C. Reilly, Paul Rudd, Steve Carrol, David Kouchner, Rob Riggle, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson 

Top Movies: Anchorman, Step-Brothers, Talladega Knights, Semi-pro, The Other guys


3. The Happy Madison / SNL gang


They also go by the Netflix made us generational wealthy gang, but that was to long of a title. Adam Sandler is the major headliner, but wherever he goes this crew follows. They have given us many laughs over the years, and though the material has taken a dip in the last couple of years, they still can tickle my funny bone. 

The Personnel: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Chris Farley (WE MISS YOU), Chris Rock, Steve Buscemi, Tim Meadows, Nick Swardson, Jonathan Loughran, Peter Dante, Etc.

Top Movies: Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Grown-Ups, Paul Blart, Just Go With It, Mr. Deeds, Big Daddy, 50 First Dates



4. Vince Vaughn & the adult content geniuses

Vince Vaughn has fallen off over the years taken on roles such as Arkansas, Freaky and many more with weird tones. Though this drop still can't take away the genius he has given us throughout the last couple of decades. Maybe we will get lucky enough to have a Wedding Crashers or Old School sequels, one can only dream. 

The Personnel: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, Justin Long, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller 

Top Movies: Old School, Wedding Crashers, The Internship, The Dilemma, Couples Retreat, The Break-Up, Dodgeball



5. Bill Murray & his director friends

Bill Murray is probably my favorite comedian of all time, I mean the man has a direct line to my funny bone. How can you not like him, he truly only does movies that he wants to do. Though when you see certain directors making new movies it's a given he will be making an appearance. 

The: Personnel : Bill Murray, Sofia Coppola, Wes Anderson, Ivan Reitman

Top Movies: Ghost Busters, Lost In Translation, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, On the Rocks, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Killers of the Flower Moon: Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio Reunited…for Eternity

Image
     I n "Killers of the Flower Moon," Martin Scorsese returns to his epic storytelling ways. And by epic, I mean "Let's make a movie so long that even Methuselah would ask for an intermission." That's right, folks, the only thing longer than the film's runtime is the anticipation to see the holy trinity of Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio reuniting again. The film opens with a reminder that Scorsese is not just a director; he's a time lord who effortlessly bends minutes and hours to his will. At a whopping three and a half hours, you better pack a snack, a catheter, and possibly a change of clothes. "Killers of the Flower Moon" is so long that by the time the end credits roll, you'll be able to boast that you've aged faster than the cast of "The Irishman" under those de-aging CGI effects. Now, let's talk about the reunion of Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio. It's like the Super Bowl of cinema collaborations, except ...
