[Film] Fsvourite stand alone funny scene from cinema.

[Weststander]

Its A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, final scene. One of the funniest films ever (well the first two thirds)

I haven’t watched that 35 years, but remember this:



This I think was after someone had insulted his mum ... can’t find that scene.

It was quite a lot earlier in the film. I seem to remember him dancing around with his girlfriend and not hearing the phone...

Sid Caesar in the basement of the hardware store was my favourite...

Especially from 1:48:

Watched this with my 11 year old son at the end of last year. He loved it so much we literally spent the whole evening watching other Laurel and Hardy shorts and movies.

When we chatted about this scene before on NSC, turns out a couple of posters sought out the steps in LA.

Timeless. These were made before my Dad was born, but he passed on the love for L&H.

New money insults country club snob.

 

[Change at Barnham]

A terrible film but this scene did make me chuckle.

There are a lot of interesting You Tube mini docs about the steps. Interestingly not a lot seems to have changed in the area. At the start of the movie you can see a major highway in the background with cars of their day passing by. That view is still there, except much more colourful cars are passing by, and a lot quicker. I used to love the school holidays in the seventies, because you would get one Laurel and Hardy short every day. Also love the one with the mad scientist and the boys are cleaning his chimney. And of course, Stan causes Ollie not only to demolish it from the roof down but Ollie also sits in the fireplace whilst random bricks at intermittent intervals hit him on the head. And just when you think the last brick has fallen....another brick lands on him.... slapstick comedy timing at it's best. .

Same childhood era for me, happy memories of school holidays children’s TV in the mornings. I also think of Laurel and Hardy on at Saturday lunchtimes in the 70’s on BBC.

The chimney slapstick is legendary ... repeated concussion from rogue brick falls. The sawmill where the car’s cut in half is also great, and another where they lied to their wives about working away, when they were really at a Legionnaires jolly in Chicago. Caught out when their wives spotted them on a cinema newsreel.

And me.

That was Sons of The Desert, which is what their UK fan club (based in Ulverston) is named after.

I also remember A Chump at Oxford where Stan lost his memory after a bang on the head. The original feature was a lot longer than versions.

Talking of Blazing Saddles, I know it's infantile but this still makes me wet my pants....

Not forgetting a “hooray for Harold Lloyd!”
