21 Films That Are Basically Live-Action ‘Looney Tunes’ Sketches

When it comes to the state of cinema, we have good news and bad news. 

The bad news? No matter how much we beg, plead or try to bribe execs with ACME gift cards, not every Hollywood movie can be a sound-effect-fueled, pie-throwing, rip-roaring Looney Tunes-esque slapstick masterpiece. 

The good news? Several live-action films come pretty damn close. Twitter user Matthew Thamason asked about live-action movies that have “Looney Tunes energy,” and cinephiles from far and wide clamored to answer his query.

Whether it’s Josh Hartnett embodying the spirit of Bugs Bunny or Nicolas Cage stealing a baby, the films below have a real Merrie Melodies vibe to them — just with significantly less anvils.
