Watch: 400 Films That Break The Fourth Wall

In honor of Deadpool, a film that breaks the fourth wall almost constantly (with varying degrees of success), The Video Shop created a supercut of around 400 movies that break the fourth wall and directly address the audience. It's one of those things where you know that it's happened a ton of times before in the history of film, but it's still sort of staggering to see the sheer number played out in front of you as you watch them all back to back.

This is an edit of 400 (pretty much) fourth wall breaking moments in film. I hope you enjoy it. Since you’re reading this let me give you a bit of background and a couple of provisos. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of fourth wall breaking films. There are shitloads. Definitely more than 400. But 400 seemed a tidy number to end on. It's not an academic study and there's no rhyme or reason behind the grouping of the clips other than what seemed to work. So while yes, there are highbrow French new wave films in there I've also had to include The Silence of the Hams and Rocky and Bullwinkle. But then I kind of like that. And because it's mine I give more screen time to my favourite serial offenders, just because I can. Take a bow John Landis, Woody Allen and Mike Myers.
