  1. One of my favorite old movies is Double Wedding with William Powell. I never get tired of the ending and erupt in spasms of laughter every time I watch it!

  2. As a fan of old movies several of my personal favorites include Bringing up Baby with Hepburn and Grant and a Christmas classic that I always take time to watch starring Barbara Stanwyck is Christmas in Connecticut – too funny. When I need a severe dose of nostalgia, A tree grows in Brooklyn—don’t forget the Kleenex.

  3. Wonderful lists we need that tension relief.
    I loved Danny Devito’s Other Peoples Money
    And The Odd Couple with Jack Lemon and Walter Matthew.

  4. Broadway Danny Rose I know Woody but Mia Farrow is fantastic, Dr Stranglove seems appropriate Peter Sellers is amazing!

  5. As a Philadelphian who was a young kid when the Flyers won the Stanley Cup, Slapshot with its Hanson brothers is an all time favorite. Crude, yes, but so was Philadelphia and it’s Flyers of the time, on which the movie was based. I still pull up movie clips of those Hanson brothers when I need a laugh or want to go back in my mind to a time and a place – namely 1974 Philadelphia

  6. His Girl Friday is a great comedy – My Cousin Vinney also. Both extremely well written and performed. The Devil and Miss Jones is a perfect comedy for what is going on now.

  7. ‘The InLaws ‘with Peter Falk…I think it is hilarious also love ‘You Can’t Take it With You’..Barrymore, Jimmy Stewart

  8. I’m a bit surprised that no one mentioned “I ♥ Huckabees”. I’ve been dragging that movie out whenever I need a pick-me-up since it released in 2004.
