    How about old comedies? Top.Secret was new to me and is now timely with Val Kilmer’s death.

    Or, modern old Timey influenced, Hundreds of Beavers.

    • Old is good. Top Secret has some amazing visual gags. The backwards scene, the magnifying glass, the underwater bar fight… And it was also one that until recently flew under my radar.

      Hundreds of Beavers isn’t something I have seen tho.

        Oh, you are in for a treat with hundreds of beavers, enjoy!

        But basically agree, good comedies are depressingly rare.

        Have you seen Waiting for Guffman and/or American Movie? Criminally unknown (in my opinion) pair of early mockumentaries.
