Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
Hysterical! Can't believe I waited so long to see this - a modern comedy classic for sure.
I wish it hadn't bothered so much with the narrative though...the "real" sequences were absolutely brilliant, but the scenes with just Borat and Azamat were mostly pretty inept. Still, it wasn't enough to detract from the film and I was in awe of how far Cohen went past the limits of good taste. A comedian with serious balls - I've always enjoyed the Ali G show, and now that I've finally watched this I'm pretty stoked to check out Brüno.
