I don't know if it's really "lesser" known but Hardcore Henry (2015) is quite an experience.

Ilya Naishuller has some fun stuff - check out his video for Leningrad - Kolshik if you haven't already.

Gosh I think if I recall correctly The Saint was very badly reviewed, is it good?

Best Polish SF movie is a comedy from the 80s abut two guys who are hibernated and wake up in a world without men. It was filmed during communism and it's full of hidden jabs at the system. It's actually a good SF movie.

Kung Pao is one of the dumbest and most underrated comedies. It's not exactly sci-fi, but it does have aliens and intelligent cows.

I watched it over ten times, and I don't regret a second.

John Dies at the End.

It’s sci fi/comedy. Best watched whilst high, but good regardless.

I feel weird recommending this movie because I fully acknowledge it's not exactly good, but...

The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997)

This has long been one of my all time favorite comedies. I've seen it probably a half dozen times, and it still makes me laugh out loud. Bill Murray is brilliant and Alfred Molina is clearly having the time of his life. I absolutely love it.

This one is one of my all-time favorites. "Spencer knows how to deal with floaters!"

Big ole list I’ve been curating off and on. The pad will only last 60 days so move it over to somewhere you won’t lose it

Phenomenal acting and Stoppard’s script is phenomenal. Definitely gotta be familiar with Hamlet, though!

A favorite comedy that i haven't heard mention of in a while: Modern Love, from 1981. Just go in blind.
