Movies that feel likeIn the Loop (2009)

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.

If you loved In the Loop, the closest films we have are Look Who's Back (2015), Digger (2026) and Lost in America (1985). All three share In the Loop'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 OMG: Oh My God! (2012).

Lost in America
1985 · dir. Albert Brooks
🍅 95%★ 7comedy

The difference: 24 years apart, and the 1980s show

OMG: Oh My God! poster
OMG: Oh My God!
2012 · dir. Umesh Shukla
★ 8.1comedy · drama

Comedy built on dark humor, twice over

The difference: Sits closer to drama than In the Loop does

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan poster
🍅 85%★ 6.6comedyPrime Video

Both are built on the same subject: satirical

Drop Dead Gorgeous poster
Drop Dead Gorgeous
1999 · dir. Michael Patrick Jann
🍅 47%★ 6.7comedy

Playful comedy, and it commits to that

In a small Minnesota town, the annual beauty pageant is being covered by a TV crew. Former winner Gladys Leeman wants to make sure her daughter follows in her footsteps; explosions, falling lights, and trailer fires prove that. As the Leemans are the richest family in town, the police are pretty relaxed about it all. Despite everything, main rival (but sweet) Amber Atkins won't give up without a fight.

The 101-Year-Old Man Who Skipped Out on the Bill and Disappeared poster
★ 6.3adventure · comedyNetflix

A streak of dark humor through both

Drinking the tasty Folk Soda puts a spring in the 101 Year Old Man’s step and his next adventure takes him around the World and back to Sweden, during which time he is chased by the CIA, a Balinese debt collector and becomes an executive at a soft drink company.

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

Both run witty where it counts

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.

The Producers poster
The Producers
1968 · dir. Mel Brooks
🍅 92%★ 7.5comedy

The shared currency is play

A conniving Broadway producer and his meek accountant plan to profit from charming wealthy old biddies to invest in an overbudget production, and then put on a sure-fire disaster, so nobody will ask for their money back — and what's more disastrous than a tasteless musical celebrating Adolf Hitler.

Office Space poster
Office Space
1999 · dir. Mike Judge
🍅 82%★ 7.6comedyParamount+

Both work the same dark humor

A depressed white-collar worker tries hypnotherapy, only to find himself in a perpetual state of devil-may-care bliss that prompts him to start living by his own rules, and hatch a hapless attempt to embezzle money from his soul-killing employers.
