23 Most Perfect Movie Castings of All Time
Raul Julia – Gomez Addams (The Addams Family)
“That movie was a pile of hot garbage, but I still tell people to watch it just for Raul Julia’s iconic performance. The man was one of the most underrated actors of the time.”

“The fact he sold it so well actually made it age better than a lot of similar movies.”

“Can’t believe he was dying while filming it. What a work to leave behind.”

Uh, this film wasn't garbage at all. Besides that, I agree that RJ played Gomez so damn well. The best Gomez IMO!

5 Great Comedy Sequels
Addams Family Values
Well before Jenna Ortega took on the braided black pigtails, the most memorable portrayal of the death-obsessed Wednesday Addams came from a young Christina Ricci. Re-joined by the rest of the family, including Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia, Addams Family Values found delight in a darker tone and meddled with the macabre. It also boasts a memorable outing from Joan Cusack playing arguably one of the funniest villains of all time — a hilarious, gold-digging serial killer with the Addams inheritance in her sights.

10 Best Dark Comedies of the 1990s, Ranked
The Addams Family
The first big screen movie adaptation of The Addams Family was a shocking but welcomed departure from the more lighthearted sitcom style of some of the previous iterations of the property (per The Dans Media Digest).

Released in 1991, this film, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, took the beloved, macabre characters of the Addams Family and further injected a delightful darkness into the comedic narrative. This celebrated the peculiar and the morbid nature of its source material. Focusing on the fascination for all things grim and ghastly, audiences were given a twisted family comedy that brought the beloved family back into the mainstream and paved the way for the recent success of Netflix’s Wednesday.

The Best Family Movies From The '90s
The Addams Family (1991)
While the macabre titular family has fronted plenty of adaptations over the years, 1991’s The Addams Family remains in a league of its own (along with its A+ sequel). As Gomez Addams (Raul Julia) tries to find and reunite with his long-lost brother Fester (Christopher Lloyd), Morticia (Anjelica Huston) is forced to find a job, while Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Puglsey (Jimmy Workman) attempt to make their school play one to remember. Joan Cusack is just the cherry on top.
