"It's a kids movie from the 70s about cats in Paris. Oh, and it has the guy from Full House. Let's buy it for the grandkids."
Kyle and Kaylie on the next visit. "We loved The Aristocrats, Grandpa. I have a story. This family walks into a booking agent's office..."
The Aristocrats is my favorite comedy documentary -- not that there are many of them. Saget gives the most memorable performance of the show. He's truly gifted as a filthy standup comedian. If you only know him from Full House, this movie shows what he can do when the filters are off.
There was a documentary on the City of God DVD that was better than the film (and I thought it was an amazing film).
A few from Netflix that I could find that I rated:
Endless Summer
Death in Gaza
The Filth and the Fury
Jiro Dreams of Sushi
Baseball
March of the Penguins
The Art of the Steal
Born Into Brothels
The Aristocrats
God Grew Tired of Us
The Fog of War
The Lost Wave
The Last Waltz
Festival Express
> If the guy had been overheard quietly telling his friend a joke like, say, The Aristocrats, then I could understand someone getting seriously offended.
Why on earth would someone get offended over an animated kids film about cats?
