Just watched "Ant-man" with Paul Rudd... the movie has the funniest latino character I've ever seen...

 

nice list,... i can never get tired of young frankenstein, fish called wanda, etc.

 

Kind Hearts and Coronets - Alec Guinness is superb as eight different characters - worth watching. Other worthwhile comedies The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) The Card (1952) (known as The Promoter in USA) The Ladykillers (1955)

 

THAT'S FRANKENSTEEN!

Mhhh... I see that a New Year has meant a New Avatar for some of us... nice to know that change is being embraced in this place

 

A few fun facts about the Academy Awards:

"Emil Jannings, a German actor who would go on to make propaganda films for the Nazis in the 1930s, was the first recipient of the legendary Oscar."

Last night I saw three people presenting some, "security theater" on TV. They spent what seemed like hours painting Apple as un-American for "refusing" to generate a key to break the password in an iPhone. The topic of this Thread is, movies that make you smile. Well, it wasn't a movie, but I laughed out loud at the ignorance of the people who believe that power alone will intimidate the impossible into being possible.

 

According to Wiki; Emil Jannings was not the first to be awarded the Oscar for the best actor. Rin Tin Tin, a German shepherd dog was voted best actor, but the awards committee thought it not quite right to give the award to a dog in place of a human.

That's also what the article I posted said.

 

Emil, and thanks to wiki, we all know the truth. Rin tin tin.....

i always cry all the more if the film is very nice. Found a very nice video regarding this on YouTube:

 

Just watched Lilo and Stitch with my daughter.... one of my favorite animated films ever. Excellent story, excellent plot... and excellent message

 

I've just watched "The Secret of Kells" and found it so original and extraordinary that I thought I'd recommend it here for those who enjoy animated movies.
To put things in context first, I suggest anyone read this article before watching it.

 

Just watched Self/Less on Netflix.
Don't wanna spoil it for anyone, but it made me smile alright.

 

The local grocery store by me are selling Martian potatoes, evidently a variety grown from the crop Matt Damon grew on Mars.

"Galaxy Quest" is perhaps my favorite movie. If I'm in a grumpy mood, I'll pop the DVD in the player and I'll be smiling in no time. It was voted 'the 7th best Star Trek movie' even though nothing in the movie directly references anything Star Trek. If you like humor and scifi, watch this movie.
