The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch (2003)

A retread of the 1978 mockumentary about the Prefab Four, which utilizes lost scenes and a wealth of material captured for the original film, while featuring new wraparound segments and interviews from contemporaries. It's basically the same jokes as before, but it was so good the first time, it still works here.

The songs are genuinely great in their own right, you almost forget it's farce.

Fever Pitch (2005)

AKA: The Perfect Catch

The story of a man obsessed with the Red Sox and his courtship with a woman across a year of baseball games as he tries to conform her to his world. If the Farrellys wanted to show that they could do conventional, middle of the road PG-13 romantic comedies, they certainly proved it here. If you don't have even a passing interest in sports, you'll surely be bored out of your mind, like I was.

A remake of the 1997 UK film of the same name (based on the book by Nick Hornsby), adapted from football (soccer) to baseball for American audiences.
