A FISH CALLED WANDA [1988]

When people talk about great comedies of the '80's they always seem to forget director Charles Crichton's final film, the British crime caper A Fish Called Wanda.
Co-written by Monty Python's John Cleese, the film starts out pretty slow but once the ball starts rolling it snowballs into a classic situation comedy of lies & deceit with the perfect mixture of British and American humor.  It tosses morals out the window and attempts to do nothing but aim for the funny bone and succeeds with it's four main stars all playing their roles with comedic perfection.
