I fucking love In the Loop, but it took me a few viewings to understand what the hell was going on. I should watch it again.

The TV show was really good too, but the movie captures the absurdity so well.

Movie was more accessible, Thick of It series was blacker, crueller humour

Shoutout for mentioning Brick. Modern noir masterpiece I never see mentioned online. Great, eclectic list overall!
