Laurel & Hardy - so memorable, that I can still recall episodes, decades later:
Moving the piano to a house up a steep set of steps.
Caught out by their aggressive wives for going on a WW1 Legionnaires reunion and lying (spotted in newsreels).
Press ganged into working on a boat.
The timber...
Once into mobile phones and tablets, they struggle to concentrate for 2 hours with any movie.
Brought up in the 70's, the love of classic British and Hollywood films was passed on to me, including the brilliant Laurel and Hardy.
