What Makes You Laugh?
This is a bit off topic but sure to make your day! I’m on a mailing list that recently asked people to submit their favorite funniest movies. I found myself laughing out loud at just the memory of some of those movies.
Not one to pass up a great idea I decided to find out what movies make YOU laugh.
I’ve included a bunch of my favorites below.

As you can tell, I'm not exactly into highbrow movies...although if it's not a good comedy, it'd better be a Jane Austen adaptation, in my opinion.
Few modern movies can compare with some of the classic original comics.
Marx Brothers in "The Big Store" created many of the slapstick actions that are repeated in contemporary movies.
Charlie Chaplin in "The Gold Rush" is original biting humor in a silent flick.
Check them out of a library, Leo while you are on vacation. Not many video stores carry them.
