Hilarious movie..i laughed all the way through it..just like Schindlers List, Raging Bull, and Taxi Driver... funniest movies ever made.

[bassputz]

This has become my favorite movie of all time over the years.

I never liked Jerry Lewis. Until now. Jeez, he should have got the Oscar here.

I actually found this film at Blockbuster in the comedy section!

[gavinmom2001]

I watched this over and over and over, and every time saw something more interesting than the last time. Truly fantastic movie.

[scottmanduzy]

I agree it is a vastly overlooked gem.

This is a truly Scorcese's most slept on gem. It's more relevant then ever.

@dunbladekilla Yes, people often say that a work of art is ahead of its time as a compliment, but in the case of "The King of Comedy," it really does feel ahead of its time. The line that went something like, "It's better to be a king for a night than a schmuck for a lifetime" -- that applies to the mentality of Snooki, Paris Hilton, and every reality TV contestant.

Seriously incredible film!

[woofian]

underated film

[pretorious700]

Sandra Bernhard is great in this film.

but she got annoying real quick

[dcolby5]

@pretorious700 To me, her character corrupted the movie. It should have been De Niro's character, all alone in his little world, without some obnoxious friend who helps him in his exploits.

[rlmsweetpinoy]

@pretorious700 I thought she was HILARIOUS in the scene where she is "having dinner" with Jerry. I couldn't stop laughing! That scene was pure comedic genius

[SimonPeter168]

[jorgipogi]

I wonder if our desire to be famous has some jewish genes to it. It would be a great story or research.

[DogAmongMen]

totally. science!

[jorgipogi]

Very funny. I will rent it. But I wonder how much money the Times got for the promotion of this movie lol.
