The American Film Institute has placed this movie in the 39th spot of the 100 best comedies ever made. What movie is it? But of course “A Fish Called Wanda”!

This is the story of three men (George, Ken and Otto) and one incredibly sexy woman called Wanda. They are trying to organize of the biggest jewel heists in history, but with one slight complication. Otto and her lover Wanda are secretly double crossing the other two members of the group, and Wanda is planning to do the same thing to Otto. Could the plot get any messier? Don’t worry. You won’t be able to turn your TV off until the end, and the ending is a surprise for everyone, including the actors!

In one specific scene, the diamonds they managed to steal are lost and everybody is looking for them. Otto ties Ken up in his house and interrogates him on the whereabouts of the diamonds, by eating the life fish in the tank one by one. The fish called Wanda too. Hmm, delicious sashimi! Pour some soy sauce on your fish and get ready to laugh!
