Matt Stone and Trey Parker's YOU AND YOUR STUDIO

Back in the mid-'90s, when Matt Stone and Trey Parker were just a pair of scrappy kids fresh out of college, comic filmmaker David Zucker commissioned them to make a short film to be shown at a Hollywood party. Stone and Parker had very little time to get the film made, and by the time they were finished they'd allegedly stayed awake for six and a half days.

With a production that frenzied, it's kind of amazing that the resulting film, You and Your Studio, is so ambitious and funny. Shot on the Universal backlot, the film features cameos by some of the biggest names of the era, everybody from Steven Spielberg to Michael J. Fox to Demi Moore. There are entire seasons of South Park that had fewer laughs than this thing.
