In Reply to: What are your favorite comedies? posted by Dmitry on August 8, 2000 at 21:16:49:
I must be a grumpy cuss, cause there are very few movies that make me laugh out loud. Usually I just find movie humour to be painfully obvious or contrived, however there are exceptions. My favourites which come immediately to mind would be:Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
To Be or Not To Be (the original version)
Monsieur Hulot's Holiday
Mr Blandings Builds His Dream Housebut really, I get a lot more laughs from an episode of "Fawlty Towers" or "Mr Bean" than any movie. I think brevity really is the soul of wit, and most films just play the jokes out for too long.
