    Please tell me "Men of Harlech" was sung, or I'm going to have a breakdown.

    One film which at the time was bellyachingly funny was Stir Crazy .
    It’s a bit dated now obviously but it still brings a smile to my chops just to think how much I did laugh at this .
    There’s so many scenes that were funny the court case , the prison cell and loads more.
    It’s hard to think now but in the context of it’s time it was a classic.

    Badly, as it is now. It is in genres, but i can't be arsed putting the genres in alphabetical order. A protest against 15 years in a record shop.

    He was a funny man and Richard Pryor also .
    I’d never seen anything like it at the time probably Blazing Saddles a few years earlier .
    But I remember rolling on the floor laughing at Stir Crazy , it’s still brings a smile but I remember more how I felt first time and how my sides ached .

    The 1946 version of Great Expectations is still a classic too. Davis Lean at his best.

    Don't think anyone has mentioned the Italian Job either.

    Between us there is a very good list of films suggested.

    The Arsenal Football Stadium Mystery
    Always thought that should have been about us being robbed by them.
