  ...my mind.

  With a fantastic international cast with the likes of Alan Bates in his prime, Genevieve Bujold at her pixilike best, and a comic turn by Adolfo Celli (aka Largo from Thunderball!) as well as its timeless message, all makes for a lovely film.

  Beauty amidst chaos, humor and sentiment.

  And then there's Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple", and Steve Martin's "The Jerk"....

      Wanda was one of those movies that struck a chord with the public, but not with me. The obsession with taunting the stutterer as a comic device left me cold. Also, my expectations were tempered by my expectation of ex-Python members Palin and Cleese to be Pythonian. I thought the movie was a decent caper flick. I never "got" J.L.Curtis, though she was somewhat attractive. Kline was vastly over praised in this film.

  I love this little gem by Tati. Or "City Lights" by Chaplin. Or "Ruggles from Red Gap," with Charles Laughton. And "Man on the flying Trapeze," with WC Fields. And Blake Edward's "10" with Dudley Moore (Bedazzled was mentioned above). It's nice to think of the wealth of funny films, out there in the unfunny world. It makes me feel better.

  A mid-50s Brit comedy with David Niven, Yvonne DeCarlo and an Irish cast lead by Barry Fitzgerald about a Brit aristocrat deadbeat who inherits an estate in Ireland and the locals trying to do him in when he announces he selling it. A very funny film with a lot of sharp Irish wit. Never made it to video. I keep hoping it'll turn up on Turner some night.

  In Reply to: RE: Ya Gotta Laugh posted by Harmonia on March 02, 2009 at 19:27:36

  I can hardly improve upon it.

  I think the funniest film I've ever seen, other than a few of the best Three Stooges shorts, has to be Buster Keaton's classic "Sherlock Jr.", also on your list. I don't think this has been bettered in the 85 years since it was made. It's a work of pure hilarity and unfettered genius.

  The French actor, Jacques Tati, made some hilarious films, the most memorable of which is "Mr. Hulot's Holiday." It was made in 1953 but could have been a silent as one need not hear it to enjoy it. When one watches the best of Jerry Lewis or John Candy one is seeing a lot of Jacques Tati.

  I love Laurel and Hardy and one of my favorites from them is "Bonnie Scotland." The snuff scene, the one where Ollie sneezes the river dry, makes me laugh until it hurts. It's silly but wonderfully so.

  All of "The Thin Man" entries with William Powell and Myrna Loy bring me great pleasure. They are fast paced and clever and the casting of Powell and Loy can't be topped.

  My vote for the greatest American talkie comedy film of all time is difficult but I would have to nominate "It Happened One Night." I can't imagine any way this film could be improved upon. It's been the standard bearer since 1934.

  I think the best comedies of the recent past are "Silver Streak, "Airplane", "Fargo", and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?".

  And I've always had a weak spot for "No Time For Sergeants" and "Stripes." Neither is exactly high art but I find them both very funny, especially the former.

  Rat Race. Saw it twice at the theaters and still couldn't hear all the jokes, the audience was laughing so much. Had to wait for the DVD to hear everything.
  
  The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother. Haven't seen this since high school, but it had several scenes that I nearly fell out of my theater seat laughing. I remember laughing so hard that I ran out of breath and couldn't laugh any more.

  Yes, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House is a good one, and I know you were just referencing "The Money Pit", but I was actually contemplating adding "The Money Pit" to my list. I left it out because I thought I would be mercilessly berated for doing so. To me, it was laugh-out-loud hilarious.

    Bedazzled is wondeful. I was lucky enough to see Cook and Mmore onstage in "Good Evening" wha I was a student. They were wonderful.

      Your list got me thinkin' - I've been trying to find the "Soapdish" dvd with no luck locally.
      
      Ever hear the term "moratorium", for when no one is distributing or re releasing the dvd? I couldn't believe "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) was not available because of this - kind of sobering.

  Working off yer themese, I'll add,
  
  First, this isn't an addition, just a comment, Lost I America is simply genius. I'll never tire if it. The Nest Egg Concept rules.
  
  To your Christopher Guest and Michael McKean movies I'd add The Princess Bride and The Brady Bunch Movie
  
  Any scene with The Dude in it from Lebowiski brings a smile to my face. I believe that would be every scene but 1 in the movie. I crave "Caucasians" and satisfy the craving for days afterwards. The Dude abides.
  
  If we're talking Billy Murray then we're talking The Rutles and Caddyshack.
  
  And if we're talking Caddyshack were talking golf and we're talking Tin Cup, the movie Kevin Costner was born to star in.
  
  And if we're talking Kevin Costner, then, wait, Tin Cup was it.
  
  John Cusack flicks? Better Off Dead. We still call em "Fraunch Fries" at the house. High Fidelity rules, however, in the Cusack comedic ouvre.
  
  Guilty pleasure? Blind Date. "Is this a new car". "Yea, just got it home from the dealer". "RALPHHHHHGGGHHHHHHH." It had some moments.
  
  Others:
  
  Office Space
  Go
  L.A. Story
  Ruthless People
  Get Shorty
  Big Trouble (I'm no Tim Allen fan but the rest of the cast was just terrific). Gator Fans!!!!
  Two Days In The Valley
  Pee Wee's Big Adventure
  Heaven Can Wait
  Top Secret

    which I think is an Oscar worthy performance.

      I debated putting in Lost In Translation, which I'm not quite sure is a comdey...although it is very good, and Murray is great in it.

        but more than a few smile worthy moments. Lost in Translation that is.
        
        I wonder if I would get banned here if I mentioned Idiocracy in the same breath as some of these other, very worthy movies?

        ...it doesn't advance the plot. That's why.
        
        But it sure is nice to have.

    • I did have "Grosse Point Blank" on my list. :-) - Harmonia 12:02:56 03/03/09 (0)
      In Reply to: RE: Cusack: add: "Grosse Point Blank" posted by grinagog on March 02, 2009 at 22:54:25

      And I coulda had The Sure Thing and Better Off Dead on there too.
      
      I love that bit from High Fiedlity. As a record collector, I just related so much to that movie, and I used to make compilation tapes for all my friends too.

  no need to feel guilty :^)
  
  I did not see Imposters on your list. If you have not seen it you have to rent it soon with Stanley Tucci, Oliver Platt, Billy Connolly, Steve Buschemi (super funny as a suicidal singer) a classic slapstick comedy in the best sense. One of the best comedies ever IMHO
  
  
  thanks
