Here's my list. I could probably add more musicals but I will restrain myself....
- The Wizard of Oz (1939)
- Gypsy (1962)
- A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966)
- Mrs Doubtfire (1993)
- Tootsie (1982) It has to have the best cast ever assembled for a comedy (let's not talk about Kramer's misfire, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World)
- Goldfinger (1964)
- M*A*S*H (1970)
- Bring It On (2000)
- any film from the Austin Powers trilogy (just scratch Fat Bastard - unfunny)
- Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
- To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) - if my tearducts are up to it
- You Only Live Twice" (1967) - yes, I am a Bond tragic
- The French Connection (1971)
- Chinatown (1974)
- All about Eve (1950)
- The African Queen (1952)
- Young Frankenstein (1975)
- Blazing Saddles (1974)
- My Favourite Year (1982) - Loosely based on '50s live TV comedy show "Your Show of Shows", featuring Peter O'Toole as boozy Errol Flynn-ish character, Lainie Kazan steals scenes, warm and funny script, Mel Brooks produced.
- The Producers (1968) - yes, I am a Mel Brooks fan also
- Some Like It Hot (1959)
- The Night of the Hunter (1955) Sublime Southern gothic/German Expressionist influenced, Charles Laughton pulling out all the stops as director, Mitchum is chilling.
- Jaws (1975)
- Taxi Driver (1976)
- The Godfather (1972)
any suggestions?
