Coneheads
Directed by Steve Barron
A pair of aliens arrive on Earth to prepare for invasion, but crash instead. With enormous cone-shaped heads, robotlike walks and an appetite for toilet paper, aliens Beldar and Prymatt don't exactly blend in with the population of Paramus, N.J. But for some reason, everyone believes them when they say they're from France. From TMDB

60 of 184 · most liked firstI rewatched The Coneheads for the first time since it was released on home video in 1993. As ridiculous as this movie is, it's so interesting watching it as an adult. It's a completely different movie. My interpretation of this movie when I was 10 years old was "ha ha funny alien people". Thats it.
positive · AI labelView post →Im watching the movie "Coneheads" for the first time and im only 18 minutes in and im in literal tears. This is hilarious
positive · AI labelView post →Coneheads wasn’t going to be a big enough movie to get a look from McDonald’s or Burger King, but thankfully Subway stepped up the the plate with this incredible cup (1993)
neutral · AI labelView post →Coneheads is an underrated movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →In what was either pure kismet or cynical, calculated synergy, Crackups were shaped just like the easily recognizable head-shape of the Coneheads characters who *gasp* just so happened to have a big summertime movie release at the exact same time, so a crossover promotion was inevitable
neutral · AI labelView post →According to my anecdotal YouTube autoplay evidence, the "CONEHEADS" movie is apparently back in the pop-zeitgeist (somehow?) and it's *shocking* to recall that ENTIRE movie is a poptimist/sentimental sitcom about how illegal immigration is great and good for America. Amazing time capsule.
positive · AI labelView post →Bonnie and Terry Tyler who cowrote Coneheads, Tommy Boy, Wayne’s World, The Brady Bunch movie and created 3rd Rock/That 70s Show wrote on this and so I am currently watching a blurry 480p rip of it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also Coneheads is the most beautiful movie about the American Dream and largely predicts Trump’s America.
positive · AI labelView post →This image of a Feathered Thorn makes me think of the movie Coneheads from the 1990s. #teammoth #mothsmatter #moths #mothface

neutral · AI labelView post →Great movie! But I actually just finished rewatching Coneheads lol
positive · AI labelView post →You could never make a movie like Coneheads in today's America, because of woke
positive · AI labelView post →3rd Rock From the Sun, my favorite 90s sitcom. Not exactly unknown, but I barely ever hear people talk about it. Created by Bonnie and Terry turner who also did Coneheads and That 70s Show. And the cast is just brilliant, especially John Lithgow. Also Wellington Paranormal. New Zealand spinoff about the cops in the movie What we do in the Shadows.

neutral · AI labelView post →At its core, Coneheads is a movie about the perils of being an undocumented immigrant to the USA in the 1990s
positive · AI labelView post →Maybe they're worried someone with the last remaining copy of the Coneheads movie soundtrack will hear their cover of Fight the Power and get pissy.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Coneheads movie has this gag. Father tries to get a job and has to make up an SSN on the spot.
neutral · AI labelView post →I really dig this cover of THE CONEHEADS comic book, which was released sometime after the unsuccessful '90s film. Art by MAD magazine's Tom Richmond and Jimmy Palmiotti. The interior art by Richmond and Marie Severin, with writer Terry Collins on the script, was fun as well. #SNL

positive · AI labelView post →Coneheads is a far better movie than it had any right to be.
positive · AI labelView post →Coneheads remains peerless among the SNL film ouvre.
positive · AI labelView post →Thinking about how when I was a teen, they made an entire movie based on the SNL skit Coneheads.
neutral · AI labelView post →Unrelated but related: When the Coneheads movie came out there was a corresponding book released that featured a page about Remulakian anatomy and it included a full frontal rendering of a Remulakian man. I assume Dan Aykroyd provided artistic direction. Search at your own risk.
neutral · AI labelView post →they aspire to nothing more than getting electrocuted by their boss, then having it found out they resemble Dan Akroyd in the 90s Coneheads movie wearing the mother of all dental appliances
neutral · AI labelView post →Me and my buddy Draile are watching Coneheads and the scene where Beldar grabs the mai tai out of the fridge, i just happened to notice the contents. The Coneheads were holding up the entire dairy industry in that town

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie/SNL sketch Coneheads was originally called Codeheads and it was about people who liked download codes
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching ‘Coneheads’ and I realized there’s a scene that plays ‘Kodachrome.’ I wonder if Dan Aykroyd was miffed they used a Paul Simon song in this movie. You know, since Carrie Fischer left Aykroyd to get back w her ex Simon. Silly, I know. But I just realized this tonight and now I’m wondering.
neutral · AI labelView post →#LastFourWatched Omar Sharif in Lawrence of Arabia is all time, what a film. Coneheads is still funny, so weird and goofy, and a critique of immigration enforcement! Special Effects was mid but interesting. And finally Cure is one I’m gonna need to rewatch. It was excellent. #LetterboxdFriday
positive · AI labelView post →Can we just take a minute to appreciate how much forehead she has? She could star in the next Coneheads movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Coneheads. It was good and great for it's time. It is a bit cliche but that is a product of it's time. Oh yeah also gonna make a Letterboxd to motivate me to watch more movies. Be prepared for a Minecraft Movie, Coneheads and K-Pop Demon Hunters review.
positive · AI labelView post →Fun fact: For many years, it was only available on the soundtrack to the Coneheads movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →not a superhero movie, but Coneheads is a BEAUTIFUL immigration story that was made by a lot of Canadian comedians

positive · AI labelView post →Obviously inspired the movie Coneheads.
neutral · AI labelView post →Seriously though, the Coneheads movie has no right to be as funny as it is. And anything that gives Jane Curtin more screen time should be celebrated.
positive · AI labelView post →if you like analyzing the politics of movies and have not watched Coneheads with an eye for the political i recommend it because the movie is simultaneously about immigration being a positive thing but also America being the ultimate meritocracy where hard work and brains means you WILL succeed
neutral · AI labelView post →my heteroes and I do a little awards show for the movies we've seen in our movie club and it's called The Conies because our movie club is called Coneheads cause the first movie we watched was Coneheads and we just did it and this year we had more bits and we did trivia and stuff in between awards
neutral · AI labelView post →I was never forced to see it in person in Utah (thankfully) but my Dad always threatened that we would go one day to listen to the prophet in person. But growing up like you said, early 80’s they had satellite at some of the stake buildings and that was bad enough. We’d spend the day before (mens) and most of the day again on Sunday. While I don’t waste my days any longer with church, I wish I had my time back and could have been lazy my way. For instance, today I just parked on the couch and…
neutral · AI labelView post →The Coneheads movie was a fantasy in the sense that the titular aliens were good guys
neutral · AI labelView post →Coneheads is a good film in the same way sharktales is a good film. They are both good films.
positive · AI labelView post →The DS9-Coneheads crossover was absolute cinema
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay. Time to watch the "Coneheads" movie. I really feel like I should not have to pay to watch the "Coneheads" movie. It feels like this should be a Tubi thing but alas. I need to put up some money for this thing.
neutral · AI labelView post →The second statement is true, and yet hyperbolic. That was the same time that they made the Coneheads movie, another bomb about SNL characters that had not been on screen in like 20 years. And like five other bombs on the same model.
