Anything from the Marx Bros or the Coen Bros. Oh, and here's one most people haven't seen: The Wizard of Speed and Time. Misties should love it. Download a copy--it's another example of the filmaker wanting us to "circulate the tapes." Everyone I've shown it to has loved it.

Pink Panther movies...namely A Shot in the Dark and Revenge of the Pink Panther.

I'm watching the restored Harold Lloyd collection. It's amazing how funny a silent movie can be, there was a real art and science to the sight gags (as opposed to today, where we just throw a wrench at a guys crotch and that suffices for humor)
It really is a marvel to watch one of the masters of the genre ply his craft. I watched the Kid Brother and the bit where he puts big shoes on the monkey had me doubled over (I know it sounds silly, you have to see it to appreciate it)

I had the opportunity to see several silent comedies at the park in May, projected onto the side of a museum. There's a lot going on in those movies--it's hard to pad a film where everything happens visually.
Not that rock climbing wouldn't still work. Or love.

Just watched the Awful Truth with Cary Grant and Irene Dunn. Directed by Leo McCarey, it's a slid romantic comedy.
Plus the beefy spider guy from Horros of Spider Island was in it.
