"Oh Yeah, And....

The thing about compiling my all-time favorite comedy movies is that when I consider a list, I can rarely come up with many.

Of course, there’s The Court Jester, which I love best of all. 

Once, a propos of nothing I remember, I blurted,

“I have an adult’s love of language, and a child’s love of adventure.

That’s The Court Jester, on both counts.

So there’s that one.

But then, it’s like, “That’s it?”

Of course, that’s not it.

The following collection of “Top Choice” movie comedies was compiled over some days.  It took that long because I kept believing I‘d run out. 

And then, I thought,

“Oh, yeah, and…”

And I thought of a new one.

We are talking about whole comedy movies, parts of comedy movies, comedies of various genres, from silly to satirical to sophisticated… no, I just threw that in so I would have a third “S.”  There will be no Philadelphia Story’s on this list. 

There will be no  drinking from conical stemware.

So here we go – a list of movies that have made me laugh hard, my search rekindled each time by “Oh yeah, and…” because I always thought I was finished.
