Top Ten Movies Featuring the NewsRadio Cast

(NewsRadio is a nearly forgotten classic: a truly superb sitcom that, alas, declined swiftly in the last season, after Phil Hartman died. Here, in order of personal preference, are my ten favorite movies featuring any of the principal cast members: Dave Foley, Stephen Root, Andy Dick, Maura Tierney, Vicki Lewis, Joe Rogan, Khandi Alexander, or Phil Hartman. I’ve ruled out animated movies in order to pare down the possibilities.)

 

  1. Office Space (with Stephen Root, 1999)

  2. Get Out (with Stephen Root, 2017)

  3. No Country for Old Men (with Stephen Root, 2007)

  4. The Iron Claw (with Maura Tierney, 2023)

  5. Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (with Phil Hartman, 1985)

  6. Ghost (with Stephen Root, 1990)

  7. Insomnia (with Maura Tierney, 2002)

  8. There’s Something About Mary (with Khandi Alexander, 1998)

  9. The Wrong Guy (with Dave Foley, 1997)

  10. Melvin Goes to Dinner (with Maura Tierney, 2003)
