I can’t believe I forgot to mention “The In-Laws” -
“What a nice picture of President Kennedy. What does this inscription mean, ‘To Vince, At Least We Tried.’”
“That refers to the Bay of Pigs.”
“You were involved with the Bay of Pigs?!?”
“It was my idea!”
My list, placed quickly in order…
Naked gun
Airplane
Blazing saddles - I remember thinking how close to the edge the racism was at the town meeting and that made it even funnier
A shot in the dark
Life of Brian - I really liked how grotty and rough it made life appear insead of those idealised and heroic Hollywood toga and sandals movies are.
I know Laurel and Hardy didn’t do many feature fims but they still crack me up.
Dirty rotten scoundrels
It’s a mad, mad ,mad , mad world.
Cactus Jack
What is the name of that spoof western where they are trying to get a shipment of whisky to town before winter sets in and against the wishes of the womens temperance society ?
