Hi Mark,
Blazing Saddles would be in my top comedies list, too.

We prefer watching DVds to television these days and have a very varied taste from Comedy to Drama.
We too enjoy Mel Brooks films. Another favourite is Jack Lemmon (The Apartment, Days of Wine & Roses, Mister Roberts etc) and of course teamed with Walter Matthau (The Odd Couple I & II, Buddy Buddy, Grumpy Old Men I & II etc).
The list is far too long to include here - you would all be asleep before you got to the end!

Oh, I LOVE Jack Lemmon!!!
The Odd Couple is one of my favourites, even now when I go supermarket shopping with my family I will pick up a melon, squeeze, it, smell it and say to a total stranger "another couple of days".
He was terrific in The Great Race too as the villain along with Peter Falk.

Valkyrie with Tom Cruise, directed by Bryan Singer, such a brilliant movie based on the real life events of a plot to assainate Hitler. I'd recomended this to anyone who hasn't seen it an incredible story and one that definatley needs to be remembered.

Watching "Matt at the BBC" at the moment.

I knew I'd mentioned it before.Mark Fox wrote:very good-not strictly accurate-main characters weren't as much anti-Nazi as film leads one to believe-pick it up on DVD if it crops up as a bargain.

Peter did it the hard way and read the book. He said it was very good.

I know it has John, we have had so much merchandise coming from everywhere lately, so I thought i'd do a bit of cataloguing today and as it was crap night on the box, and Harry was on the PC, I thought I would watch this one.
I remember seeing it years ago, but still funny to see again.
