La Cité de la peur, or Le film de Les Nuls, is a French comedy film written by the comedy group Les Nuls and directed by Alain Berbérian in 1994. The movies parodies big budget American films (Basic Instinct, Pretty Woman and the Terminator, among others, are directly spoofed) and relies heavily on puns and wordplay, which makes it somewhat inaccessible for non-French speakers.

So ubiquitous for a certain generation of French people as to be essentially unratable with any degree of objectivity. If I had to rank it anyway, I'd say it's as good as the lesser Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker projects--which, to be clear, is still very funny.

Simply put, one of the funniest movies ever made. Hilarious and very quotable. Sadly the plot is shit. But even with a worthless plot, if you speak french and haven't seen this movie yet, what are you doing with your life?

It is in fact very American in its approach. It must be directly influenced by Zucker's parodies. Just as funny as it is stupid.
