I saw Changing Places again a few weeks ago . It is a great comedy .
The other three do not ring a bell . But then again Comedy films is not my forte
I am a comedian myself and I do not like the competition in general  ;D

Burbs is a classic......

I am blessed with the ability to forget anything I do not want to remember since I can find it back but still remember conversations of 40 years back.
I may have seen Burbs but my recollections are "special" like the original first theater showing of Cleopatra where she is rolled out of a carpet ( Liz Taylor of course )

For the moment I am fully occupied getting everything by Milla Jovovich ( the one of the film the 5th element were she wakes up in Egyptian mummy wraps  ;D
Next project is Jamie Lee Curtis  :)

I saw a parody again
Casino Royale
With David Niven as pseudo James Bond
It is really hilarious ( also got Ursula Andress and Orson Wells etc )

In the end the French Filmstar Jean Paul Belmondo comes in as a cop and a bunch of US cowboys ride on horseback into the casino ; followed by a bunch of indians that parachute from a plain into the casino whilst Woody Allen is burping up the last burps of his atomic bomb he ingested

Like Pussycat it is really hilarious beyond "comedy"

STAN LAUREL AND OLIVER HARDY WERE SUPERB COMEDY TEAM AND ALMOST ANY 5 OF THEIR MOVIES WOULD TOP ANYONE ELSE----AS FOR CHARLIE CHAPLIN---STAN LAUREL WAS HIS UNDERSTUDY AND HE WAS SO GOOD THAT MANY TIMES HE FILLED IN FOR CHAPLIN AND NO ONE KNEW ANY DIFFERENCE----IF YOU READ ABOUT THEIR WORK--YOU WILL SEE HOW SKILLED AND HOW WELL TIMED EACH MOTION WAS AND IF YOU NOTICE---MOST OF THE VIOLENCE HAPPENED OUT OF VIEW----YOU HEARD ALL THIS NOISE---THEN THE END OF THE SITUATION---LEAVING YOU TO IMAGINE WHAT WAS HAPPENING ----SOMETHING SADLY NEGLECTED IN MANY FILMS TODAY---NO IMAGINATION.............
