Top Secret! (1984)

“Life is filled with it's little miseries, each of us in his own way must learn to deal with adversity in a mature and adult fashion." So says one of the characters of 1984's Top Secret before jumping out of a window.

 

This week, we switch it up a bit and take a nosedive into an amalgamation of WWII resistance films, beach parties, and good old fashioned rock 'n' roll. Written and directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker (the same team behind Airplane!), this movie is filled with a combination of unrelenting jokes and insanity for 90 minutes straight.

 

East Germany is on the rise and it's up to American pop sensation, Nick Rivers, to not only put his European tour on hold, but to join the underground resistance and put an end to tyranny once and for all.
