Move These to the Top of Your Queue: “Bananas” and “Casino Royale”

Posted by Maximum Fun on 30th August 2011

Not sure how we overlooked these earlier in the week, but there are two more comedy classics that will soon be expiring from Netflix Instant.

1. Title: Bananas (1971)

Where to find it: Netflix Instant through September 1st

If you’ve never seen Woody Allen’s earliest (and silliest) films, you’re truly missing out. In Bananas, Allen’s character, Feilding Mellish, goes to a fictional Latin American country and joins its rebel movement – eventually rising to the office of President – all in order to impress his desired love object (Louise Lasser) with his “leadership qualities.”

2. Title: Casino Royale (1967)

Where to find it: Netflix Instant through August 31st

A classic goofball farce, this star-studded spy spoof is the only movie that sports David Niven (and many others!) in the role of James Bond. It also features the talents of Peter Sellers, Orson Welles, Woody Allen, Deborah Kerr and William Holden. Kinda makes you look at “Austin Powers” in a whole new light, eh?
