Netflix pays tribute to Catherine O'Hara by quietly adding Eugene Levy comedy with 87% RT score

Netflix has added five of Catherine O'Hara's films in a touching tribute, including a 2003 comedy-musical also starring Eugene Levy.

The world came out to mourn the comedy icon on Friday (January 30), after her management announced her death to Variety.

The Home Alone star passed away at her home in Los Angeles following a 'brief illness', though a cause of death has not yet been confirmed.

A frequent feature in some of the biggest films and TV shows of the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s, O’Hara’s career included blockbuster hits such as 1988’s Beetlejuice and its recent sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Best in Show, The Last of Us, as well as Schitt’s Creek, a series created by father-son duo, Eugene and Dan Levy, who also starred in the show.

Alongside the American Pie star as the Rose family patriarch, Johnny, the 71-year-old played wife Moira. However, it isn't the only collaboration between the two, with Netflix having since added A Mighty Wind to the streaming platform.

Landing on Netflix’s United States and Canada platforms yesterday (February 4), A Mighty Wind is a mockumentary following three never-quite-famous folk bands come together for the first time in decades after the death of their manager to put on a reunion concert in his honor.

In the 2003 film, O’Hara stars as Mickey Crabbe, one half of the singing duo Mitch and Mickey, with Levy playing the other half, Mitch Cohen. The film was a big hit with critics and audience members alike, earning 87 per cent on the Tomatometer and 75 per cent on the Popcornmeter on Rotten Tomatoes.

In some of the praise for the film, Nell Minow from Common Sense Media described it as a 'hilarious mockumentary'; meanwhile, The Spectator's Mark Steyn said: "There are two very sweet performances, by Levy and O'Hara as Mitch and Mickey."

Viewers also spoke highly of A Mighty Wind's 'gentle charm', with one person writing: "Funny and lovely. This should definitely be considered a classic. I feared the music would be annoying, but instead it was delightful, while still room for plenty of parody."

But it isn't the only film that's been added, according to What's On Netflix, with 1985’s After Hours, 1996’s Waiting for Guffman, 1998’s Home Fries and 2006’s For Your Consideration also making an appearance.

Following her death, Eugene, along with Dan Levy, paid tribute to O’Hara, as he said: "Words seem inadequate to express the loss I feel today. I had the honor of knowing and working with the great Catherine O’Hara for over fifty years.

"From our beginnings on the Second City stage, to SCTV, to the movies we did with Chris Guest, to our six glorious years on Schitt’s Creek, I cherished our working relationship, but most of all our friendship. And I will miss her.

"My heart goes out to Bo, Matthew, Luke and the entire O’Hara family."

He wasn't the only co-star to honor O'Hara, as her on-screen son in Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin, wrote: “Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you.

"I heard you, but I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later."
