I have been terrible bad at commenting and reading other peoples posts, but at busy I saw that had mentioned me, asking that I participate in a contest by
.
You can see the contest here: Monthly Contest - A Chance To Win STEEM From A Growing Prize Pool!
Sadly I didn't make the deadline, but here are three comedy films that I like.
The General
I love Buster Keaton and The General is his master piece. The story is simple and beautifully filmed and the civil war in all its horror plays a subtle but important role as counterpoint to the heroes unworldly love.
Les Visiteurs
All the fun in this film comes from the idea that a knight and nobleman from the middle ages along with his squire are being sent to our time by a senile sorcerer. I always loved French humour, and I remember having a laughing fit from a scene where the squire eats a sandwich with plastic wrap around it while trying to keep up a conversation with a female vagabond... kind of hard to explain, but great acting.
In this scene The nobleman played by Jean Reno and the squire played by Christian Clavier (both such great actors) think a black postman is a Saracen.
More Bad News
I also love British humour - charming and loving its underdogs (did anyone mention Phill!?). I have written about Bad News before and I love it so much I didn't even bother to see Spinal tap!
The link below contains both the first tv-film called Bad News, and the follow up (which is the best) called More Bad News.
