While I dearly love the first film, the second film Addams Family Values is my personal favorite. In classic duo-comedy structure, The Addams Family are the comedians, everyone else that's "normal" is the straight man. Through two feature films, this reincarnation of the classic television show from Barry Sonnenfeld cut away from the sitcom structure of the original show and instead focused on rapid-fire one-liners and sight gags with tremendous physical comedy and pitch-perfect timing from the entire cast. It's the world around them that has to get used to their eccentricities! Gomez (Raul Julia), Morticia (Anjelica Huston), Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd), Pugsley (Jimmy Workman), Wednesday (Christina Ricci), and disembodied hand - Thing live in relative harmony together in their bleak and innocently sinister mansion.
Everyone has strange neighbors but anyone living within a mile of The Addams Family wins the prize.
