I'm sure it'll come to me...(must need ginko bilboa in my old age!) It seems like a lot of funny movies make me feel good and lighthearted (e.g Tootsie), but don't make me laugh uncontrollably. However, tv sitcoms do. The ones that make me ROFL are One Foot In The Grave and some Murphy Brown eps. <BR/><BR/>Most of the One Foot in the Grave episodes haven't aired in the US, and aren't available on DVD, athough at least the first 6 are. I actually ran all over London for a day and half trying to find all the episodes on VHS back in 2000, and bought a multi-system player just so that I could laugh...and then found out that I needed a multisystem CONVERTER player, so I never got to see them after ALL of that running around, and ALL of the money spent on tapes! A very Victor Meldrew moment, when I stopped to think about it. Oh well, that is one good thing about living in Switzerland: I can finally watch those silly tapes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33629869.post-3672269354496159782007-06-12T21:15:00.000-07:002007-06-12T21:15:00.000-07:00get a babysitter (worth the cash!) and go see knoc...get a babysitter (worth the cash!) and go see knocked up. we went ths weekend and i thought it was really funny. also have you seen some of the old doris day moveies? last summer we got hooked on them and they are hoot! jcnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33629869.post-44120340200797757122007-06-08T10:43:00.000-07:002007-06-08T10:43:00.000-07:00T-rex, saw and loved them all!

Anyway, it's one of the view movies we've walked out of the theatres KNOWING we would be buying. We love it because it's not funny in an obvious way, but makes us burst out laughing anyway. If you watch it, wait for the 'Beavers and ducks!' line, and tell me if you don't split your sides like we do. <BR/>Hope this helps! I'll keep this thought simmering on the back burner and let you know if I come up with anything else.The DutchMac Tribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01108463221404795234noreply@blogger.com
