Animal House is my all time fave comedy with Blues Brothers, Airplane and Dr Strangelove not far behind.

Landis & Belushi, Kubrick & Sellers. The stuff of legend.

[hawkeyepierce]

My bad, i mean't any other movies! No don't think i know the name after all.

When i did French at school they used to show us these black and white French comedies startring the French equvilent of Mr Bean. I think they were hoping we would actually pick up some French!

Ahhh, you mean Jaques Tati! He's great! He had a big influence on Rowan Atkinson when he was at school. I saw "Le vacance de Monsieur Hulot", GREAT stuff!!! Highly recommended. Strange they showed something like that considering there is hardly any talking in the picture

I've not heard of him either.

I tend not to watch films in languages I don't understand. I've never liked trying to read subtitles and watch a film at the same time.
