Thanks everyone for your blaxploitation films lists – there are quite a few mentioned which I haven't seen and are now on my wish list. This week is comedy similarly broad, with the definition of a 'fish out of water' film coming from the BFI: "Cinema has long thrived on the plot device in which our heroes find themselves completely out of their depth in a new environment." Think of films where one of the main characters isn't necessarily a real fish out of water, but someone in a completely alien environment and the drama, comedy, horror, or aspects of dramatic tension follow from them adapting to new cultural mores and others adapting to them.

Top 10 Fish out of Water films. Jaws (1975) North by Northwest (1959) Midnight Cowboy (1969) Enchanted (2007) Kindergarten Cop (1990) Borat (2006) In Bruges (2008)* Crocodile Dundee (1986) Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1987) Coming to America (1988) A difficult subject this as there are so many that could fall into the category. For once i decided to ignore horror films completely. |

I hope people realise i put Jaws at number one due to Brody being the fish out of water and not the bloody shark. |

I completely got that. He's someone petrified of water with, prior to the attacks, no knowledge of sharks and yet finds himself in a boat hunting a huge great white shark with a marine scientist and experienced fishermen.
