Life of Brian 'pretty good', AirPlane not good, Some Like it Hot 'a classic', you need to get a grip and a funny bone. The only thing right u mentined was the Pink Panther films.

All the 'Brit Flicks' u mentioned are shit

Arthur, British?

Wrong, very good. Right and right again.

Ask a Policeman, Oh Mr Porter, & The Ghost of St. Michaels (all Will Hay). Young Frankenstein & Two Way Stretch also come to mind.

Agree with Blazing Saddles, Airplane, Life of Brian & Pink Panthers. No to Maybe Baby, the NEW St. Trinians & Johnny English.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Coming To America
Meet The Parents/Fockers
The Plank

Big fan of old St Trinians, although I probably only watch them once every ten years

Has anyone mentioned: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Bloody brilliant film.

The Music box

Got to love Will Hay, and Young Frankenstein is Mel Brooks best film by a country mile, but the really great call there is Two Way Stretch, a ridiculously underrated film.

Young Frankenstein better than Blazing Saddles? Me no think so!

I think so, but as I have a 10-minute memory after I've watch a film (or done any sort of work!), I can't really remember!

Me too!!!

On the odd occasion I have found myself halfway through a film before I realise I've already seen it.

Been out and bought CDs and books to find that, yes, they're already on the shelf...

I cannot believe I haven't mentioned this (though somebody else might have) and it's my second fave of all time. I am getting old. The Odd Couple. Brilliant all around. Great theme tune too. You will be whistling it. Dum de dum de duuuum, dum de dum dum de duuuuum duuum.
