Funeral movies

[Mike Boyer]

I was just thinking about the new movie "get low"
I remember years ago there were some very funny British movies about funeral's made in the 60's and 70's
can anyone name them ? also what other funeral movies out there that are worth tracking down and watching ?

lets see how many we can remember ?

there was one that I remember ...a british movie about two gay teenagers, an Austin Mini van, a body that kept disappering ...very funny

some very interesting British pro cars

Are you talking funeral movies or pro car movies?

If just funeral movies Kissed comes to mind.

 

[Mike Boyer]

both really

can't forget Mother, Jugs and speed

 

[Richard Vyse]

How about "Back in Business". A cult 30 minute movies where two funeral directors operate a funeral home in a small town but business is bad. So as part of their pre-need package they offer to take the person out. Next thing you know, "Back in Business".

 

[Darren Bedford]

Harold and Maude is another cult classic.

Love the 59 hearse but the two of them "hooking up" is kinda sick.
Why would someone even make a movie with that in it ?!

Movies

"Grand Theft Parsons" is a great movie

 

[John Royark JR]

I agree, I love grand theft parsons.


We cannot forget the worst movie ever made (MY OPINION ONLY) The Hearse.

 

[Stephen Mayfield]

All the Phantasm movies have a hearse in them. In Phantasm 3,they flip a pink and white mid-60's cadillac hearse, and they blow one up in Phantasm 4. What a shame!

Just Buried. I think it was filmed in Canada and all the hearses in the movie are Eureka. Here is a trailer, [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mat1V94zl4A"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mat1V94zl4A[/ame]

I just watched the British version of Death at a Funeral and it was pretty funny! The pro-car at the beginning was sweet, but no idea what it was.

"The Loved One" by Evelyn Waugh..... classic book and movie

While it is not a "funeral movie" per se; I saw The Hospital with George C. Scott and Dianna Rigg the other day on TCM and at the end there was a gorgeous low top or combo 69 or 70 M-M or S&S with dual beacons in the closing scene.

For ambulances, how about Doc Hollywood- with Michael J. Fox, and others.

For funerals, how about My Girl- with Dan Akroid as the funeral director and Jamie Lee Curtis as the make up artist for the funeral home.

Now I "research" every not-currently-in-theater film before I bother watching. Few people had anything good to say on IMDB Forums about Get Low. However, I just watched it, and it was so good; that I think I need to own it.

Only the Lonely has John Candy living in his familys funeral home with a nice 58 Coach parked in front
