Mr Smith goes to Washington.
You were annoyingly right about James.

I bought The Miracle Worker last week. Fantastic performances from the leads but the supporting actors overacted a bit. I actually prefer Anne Bancroft (apart from the awful Irish accent) in this movie than in The Graduate.

Hehe Well I haven't watched it yet - that's a 'day off work' activity... But I figure with the new movie being out, and a new stage production that's in the works in England, I might as well see what it's all about

The original Producers is much better than the remake. The actors in the original are more in tune with the humour.

That's why I got that one to watch first It's very funny. If you are a mel brooks fan that is? Yeah, I think he's great. Of course my favourite movies of his are the more... "modern" ones, if you could call them that Spaceballs, Robin Hood: Men In Tights, Dracula: Dead & Loving It, hehe...

I'm more of the traditional fan of Mel
Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. The others I find too boyish in humour for me.

I guess it's the age factor as well in a sense - I virtually "grew up" watching the other movies because they were made around that time, plus my brother liked them as well, and my tastes are similar to his... I wouldn't mind checking out the older stuff though.

I'm not that keen on too much slapstick or really obvious humour. Subtle is fantastic. I love Mel Brooke's poke at the jewish faith, etc. I think gay jewish humour to be one of the funniest. The producers being about a gay nazi musical just totally cracked me on poor taste grounds alone. I don't think I gave too much away there.
The latter films tend to be silly. Woody Allen did this in his all you wanted to know about sex and were afraid to ask, and possibly Sleeper, both had their moments, but over all I felt underwelmed by it's obvious humour. I like to work a little harder at it.
Having said that Airplane (Or Flying high (urk)) was a work of genius.
