Zoolander (DVD, 2002)

The first time I watched ZOOLANDER, I didn't understand it. Then AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL brought modelling into the public eye. I watched ZOOLANDER again, and the satire was dead-on. My favorite scene: Derek's airhead male-model pals playfully dousing each other with gasoline hoses to the tune of Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go." It's all fun and games until somebody lights a match! Later, when Derek opens his own school, his dead pals are immortalized by a huge fountain with water flowing from the bronze gas pumps. David Duchovny is hilarious as a former hand model who keeps his hand encased in a hyperbolic chamber. Owen Wilson steals the show as Derek's rival Hansel, who wins a modelling challenge by removing his underwear without taking off his pants. One of those movies where you notice something new each time you watch it. Definitely one to add to your comedy collection.
