Buster Keaton - The General

Unsurpassed in 81 years.

Saw that on the big screen a couple of years ago with accompanying music by a live orchestra conducted by the composer, Carl Davis. 'Twas excellent. Although the short film "One Week" that preceded it was more laugh out loud funny.

Keaton's "Our Hospitality" is also a gem.



And then of course, there is also my friend on my left's Duck Soup, Day at the Races, Night at the Opera, and Animal Crackers, probably in that order of preference...

 

[See-Goals]

Office Space

Napoleon Dynamite

 

[John Bumlick]

schindler's list

 

[Gully]

The happiest days of our lives
Passport to Pimlico

Which was the one when Grouch was Rufus T Firefly and became President of Freedonia?

 

[Barry Izbak]

See no evil hear no evil

 

[Grassman]

How come there's no mention so far of Spinal Tap, or Best In Show, or Waiting For Guffman, or A Mighty Wind? Christopher Guest is a comedy genius.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

I'd second 'Life of Brian' and 'Office Space'.

Also a Laurel & Hardy short, 'The Piano' - quality slapstick.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Spinal Tap of course !!!

That's Duck Soup. With the mother of all "mirror scenes"...

For Your Consideration is a bit weak though.

Planes Trains & Automobiles
Cool Runnings

Recently I thought Blades of Glory was very good.

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

Two Way Stretch

Let George Do It.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Mr Jolly Lives Next Door ..

More a programme than a film, but top shout.

"Another traditional English Pub"

"Just because my name's Jolly, Doesn't mean I have to be f*cking Jolly all the f*cking time!"

[Grassman]

Spinal Tap
Best In Show
Waiting For Guffman
A Mighty Wind

Agreed, though it has it's moments. Fred Willard in all the other four films is absolutely superb though! "Hey What happened?"

Look him up on Youtube folks - especially in A Mighty Wind, a comedy performance to die for. Almost as good as Leonard Rossiter!

With that in mind - Rising Damp - The Movie!
