Movies that feel likeDigger (2026)

The most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity's savior before the disaster he's unleashed destroys everything.

If you loved Digger, the closest films we have are The Ruling Class (1972), OMG: Oh My God! (2012) and Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014). All three share Digger's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is I'm All Right Jack (1959).

1972 · dir. Peter Medak
🍅 83%★ 7.2comedy · dramaMax

Two things both keep coming back to: dark comedy and satire

The difference: 54 years apart, and the 1970s show

When the Earl of Gurney dies in a cross-dressing accident, his schizophrenic son, Jack, inherits the Gurney estate. Jack is not the average nobleman; he sings and dances across the estate and thinks he is Jesus reincarnated. Believing that Jack is mentally unfit to own the estate, the Gurney family plots to steal Jack's inheritance. As their outrageous schemes fail, the family strives to cure Jack of his bizarre behavior, with disastrous results.

Alejandro G. Iñárritu working the same nerve twice

About Endlessness poster
About Endlessness
2019 · dir. Roy Andersson
🍅 95%★ 6.8drama · fantasy · comedyRent or buy

Common ground: dark comedy

The difference: Sits closer to fantasy than Digger does

A reflection on human life in all its beauty and cruelty, its splendor and banality, guided by a Scheherazade-esque narrator. Inconsequential moments have the same significance as historical events. Simultaneously an ode and a lament, presents a kaleidoscope of all that is eternally human, an infinite story of the vulnerability of existence.

One thread runs through both: satire

A celebrity model couple are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged, alcoholic captain. What first appears Instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island in a struggle of hierarchy.

In the Loop poster

Both are built on the same subject: political satire

The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Digger does

The US President and the UK Prime Minister are planning on launching a war in the Middle East, but—behind the scenes—government officials and advisers are either promoting the war or are trying to prevent it.

Men & Chicken poster

The same mix in both: stillness, then dark humor

Men & Chicken is a black comedy about two outcast brothers who, by getting to know their unknown family, discover a horrible truth about themselves and their relatives.

All My Friends Are Dead poster

Witty comedy in both cases

The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Digger does

Both lean on dark humor more than on comedy

Drama built on wit, twice over

Withnail & I poster
Withnail & I
1987 · dir. Bruce Robinson
🍅 84%★ 7.5comedy · dramaMax

Contemplative comedy, and it commits to that

Two out-of-work actors -- the anxious, luckless Marwood and his acerbic, alcoholic friend, Withnail -- spend their days drifting between their squalid flat, the unemployment office and the pub. When they take a holiday "by mistake" at the country house of Withnail's flamboyantly gay uncle, Monty, they encounter the unpleasant side of the English countryside: tedium, terrifying locals and torrential rain.
