Like all of Albert Brooks' movies Lost in America sorta got lost somewhere and wasn't as good as it could have been. BUT there is a scene in there, i think it's when he finds out he didn't get the promotion and not only that but he was fired ........... one of the funniest scenes i've ever seen, i was literally on the floor of the theater, dying with laughter. Garry Marshall played the boss i think? Haven't seen it a long long time.

I should have mentioned Woody Allen, i just don't like him for his private life, he is brilliant. Which is the movie where he's a hypochondriac? Zelig is a masterpiece of comedy i think but my favorite Woody film is Broadway Danny Rose.

Nobody's mentioned Steve Martin. I think he's great and for anybody over 35 i don't think a comedian ever had the popularity Steve Martin had for about a year or two in the late 70's. It was rock star kind of popularity. I don't know how many times he hosted Saturday Night Live but it's alot and he always did great monologues. He quit standup comedy soon as he got into movies. Most standups hate standup, all they dream about is getting a TV series or a movie career. Except for Jay Leno who still despite making huge money goes out and does standup comedy. Seinfeld also likes standup still.
