Any Laurel & Hardy fans here?

I picked up the Laurel & Hardy Essential collection dvd box set a while ago. It is a 10 disc set which contains the 40 sound shorts and 10 feature films they made between 1929-1940 for Hal Roach. So far I watched 10 of the short films and 3 of the feature films. I've really been enjoying them. Any other fans here?

Yes I grew up watching Laurel and Hardy on television and I have 'March of the Wooden Soldiers' on DVD. Two of the immortals in comedy.

Absolutely. Stan and Babe were among the greatest.

I don't know if a fan.
But I love March of the Wooden Soldiers.
It's one of my favorite movies, but I only reserve to watch at Christmas time.

I've seen maybe 2 of their films. Which ones would you recommend?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Sons of the Desert is my favourite. I would recommend it. Pack Up Your Troubles and Pardon Us are good too.

[–] samoanjoes (58599) 5 years ago

Good. I haven't seen those ones.

Dick Van Dyke was talking about the first time he met Stan Laurel. He told Laurel he had been doing his act and Laurel responded “I know”.

I remember this. Dick was a huge fan of Stan's.

I like them, but every now and again there'll be a scene where they over egg the omelette a bit.

Yes!! My favorite episode of Laurel & Hardy is when they are learning to fly an airplane. It was hilarious!

Flying Deuces?

[–] slimone (7996) 5 years ago

Yes!

I'm an Abbott and Costello fan. Abbott and Costello meet every monster, awesome.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I like Abbott and Costello too. I've seen 18 of their films.

This is such silly stupid humor but with these guys it actually worked.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Those are the ones I remember.

"Who's on first" was one of the all time classics.
