13.Beer for my Horses(2008)
OK , await . This is a movie about Toby Keith push drug lords that I ’ve seen far more time than I like to admit , and that is n’t really about beer … but has been included because this is the movie that made me realize that Toby Keith is terrifying – and that this motion-picture show co - asterisk the also - terrify Ted Nugent , Barry Corbin , and David Allan Coe – and I do n’t want him to be like , “ Hey , internet writer , you did n’t admit muh motion-picture show , so you and me have subject ” and then steal my married woman after he beat the squat out of me . But if thatdidhappen , I calculate he ’d leave my mangled consistence with a six pack ( one removed … for his sawhorse ) next to me .
12.Beer League(2006)
Ralph Macchio deserves better than this Artie Lange fomite . Also , the public deserves much better than digest the run-in “ Artie Lange ” and “ vehicle ” together in any capacity other than “ Artie Lange was take away in a police vehicle on charges associate toBeer League . ”
11.Beer(1985)
You very likely have n’t seen this movie , which centers more on beer advert than on actual beer , but it involves David Alan Grier , which is reason enough to start out pledge while you see it . It does , however , star Rip Torn , who once beat the shit out of Norman Mailer , and who is also a fan of beer . Should this movie inspire you to see that telecasting , then it ’s done its line of work . But should I have breathe in you to watch it ( here it is ! Watch it now ! ) , then you may decamp this piece of crap .
10.Take this Job and Shove It(1981)
Back in the tardy ' 70s and other ' 80s , there were a lot of moving-picture show about little town factory and the humankind coming to take over . This one ’s about a douchey corporate dude who return to his menage town to get the local brewery back into anatomy . It stars Barbara Hershey , the pilot fromAirplane ! , and monster truck Bigfoot . That ’s ripe . It ’s likeNorma Rae , but co - starring a demon truck and enough rednecks to fill a convoy .
9.Another You(1991)
Gene Wilderas a genial patient role pretend to be a brewery heir ! Richard Pryor as … a Richard Pryor type ! A film so unfit , these two never made another moving-picture show together !
8.The Saddest Music in the World(2003)
Canada , you so softheaded … so softheaded that you make a movie about a beer baroness during inhibition who holds a contest to see which country ’s the saddest , and it ’s all old - timey and probably as pretentious as it sound . But it does include a prosthetic leg being used as a drinking watercraft , solidify my theory that Isabella Rossellini demand in 78 % of her films to let in prosthetic limbs , or at least leg braces .
7.Young Einstein(1988)
Comedian Yahoo Serious occupy a weird space in the ‘ LXXX , when Mick Dundee made everybody agitate about Australia , a time when “ put another half-pint on the Barbie ” was the equivalent of saying “ my wiiiiiiiiiiiife ” in Borat spokesperson nowadays . In this movie , through the magic of adding a couple varsity letter , Einstein is transport to Australia where , among his various feats , he forge rock and roll music , surfs , and carve up particle to put bubbles in beer . It ’s … a movie !
6.Beerfest(2006)
I ’m not here to throw shade atSuper Troopersby any means . But allow ’s be real here : when you ’ve incur a movie about competitory beer drinking from the bro - aliveness bomber behind that jewel , you kind of expect it to do better than ranking somewhere betweenThe Slammin ’ SalmonandClub Dreadon their listing of movies . But hey , of the beer - focused motion picture of 2006 , this one ’s better than the Artie Lange one !
5.What! No Beer?(1933)
This taradiddle of beer runners during prohibition era is a lesser flick in Buster Keaton ’s ( and Jimmy Durante ’s ) oeuvre , so why admit it ? Why , so I can hold my legitimacy by including a Buster Keaton filmandusing the word oeuvre in a judgment of conviction , just in fount my former film discipline prof is read this .
4.Drinking Buddies(2013)
I once study a quotation that said that Jake Johnson looks like a Chicago beer rep , which is pretty on point , and mystify with me long into this perfectly above - mediocre rom - com about friends who work at a brewery , one of whom looks like Olivia Wilde . There are some laughs . It made me really think long and concentrated about how fun it would be to flow out with Anna Kendrick and just drink beers and sing song and crack dick jokes all day . And how a movie about Jake Johnson about a Midwest beer rep would be pretty majuscule . In fact , while I was watching this perfectly OK picture , I ’m middling sure I thought about everythingexceptwhat was going on onscreen . Point is , if this is No . 4 , the world really needs more beer picture show .
3.Wake in Fright(1971)
This movie – an Australian freakout that was long suppose lost to time , but lately resurface – isn’taboutbeer , per se . It ’s about a milksop schoolteacher who gets stranded in the outback , then go on a throw out of kilter bender of gambling , fighting , hunting , broing - out with Dr. Loomis fromHalloween , and screaming at nothing in particular . Beer ’s basically in every aspect , though , and there are a deal of sequence of sweaty Aussies dumping it all over each other and then wrestling and shoot hired gun . It ’s a weird movie , and not exactly a pleasant one . Beer should have gotten a “ best support actor ” Oscar . Also , the dude who directed this depart on to directFirst line . ThenWeekend at Bernie ’s . ThenThe Red Shoe Diaries . So … maybe his experience withWake in Frightaffected his choices ?
2.Smokey and the Bandit(1977)
Burt Reynolds and his mustache . Haulin ’ contraband . Which occur to be delicious Coors Banquet . Cruisin ’ away from Buford T. Justice . Yakkin ’ with Cletus on the ol’ CB . mother ’ down with hot Sally Field . This motion picture basically exit the taste of beer in your mouth even if you ’re not drinking it while you ’re watching it . But why would you do that ?
1.Strange Brew(1983)
Bob and Doug McKenzie – with respect topoutineand syrup – might be Canada ’s great exportation , andStrange Brewis their masterpiece ( well , Dave “ Not the Wendy ’s Guy ” Thomas and Rick “ Please Make More Movies ” Moranis ’ masterpiece ) . It ’s a movie so full of dumb - ass temper – Hosehead the dog ’s trajectory to Oktoberfest ; the hockey game fighting ; Doug drinking a construction ’s Charles Frederick Worth of beer , then pissing on a burning construction to put it out – that you do n’t pull in how chic it really is . This is , after all , a take onHamlet , only Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are the single drive the plot , Hamlet is a brewery inheritress , and Elsinore is a gigantic brewery . Hell , if this moving-picture show was three second long , it would be the peachy beer movie ever made , if only for the Brother ’ cheap - ass cable length - entree take onOmega Man . Which , well , should have been its own flick . If they ever shoot it , let ’s hope it ’s in 3 - B.
