I watched "Towed In The Hole" last night, when they buy a boat and try to find the leaks by filling the boat with water.
Classic.

There was a Sunday morning ritual at my house. Dad always got up at 6:30/7 am like usual. By the time i was done cleaning my room, he would have PBS on. I remember watching Laurel & Hardy, The 3 stooges, and ALL of the old classics. Each week we would get a few of the old serials like stooges, Flash Gordon or the Lone Ranger. They'd be followed by 2 or 3 full length movies (Casblanca, Thin Man series, John wayne movies) It help create a bond by bridging the gap. Giving us both some common ground or history to talk about.

Oh Yes. The whole collection are classics. What a lovely reminder of how comedy used to be. There are so many wonderful moments to savour. Who can forget the scenes where the paino is being taken up the long flight of steps, or Oliver being filled with wather out of the barrel? There is an organisation called 'Sons of the Desert' which meets regularly to chat and watch their films. this is named after one by the same name. Laurel and Hardy are two of the greatest film comedy actors of all time and outshine anyone performing today!! D

Paul Merton is the guy you need to contact. He's the expert on the silent movie era, Laurel & Hardy, Chas Chaplin, etc.
Paul has his own TV show covering the subject of the silent movie era. Watch out for it.
Occasionally, if you're very lucky, an Art House Cinema may put on a week or few of the silent's you love.

Yes, and not just Laurel & Hardy but Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and the rest. Paul Merton recently made a great series of programmes on these silent classics. All the background information added to the enjoyment and it was good to see children in the audience laughing at the films.

I like lots of classic comedy. The Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and more. Just because something was made a long time ago does not mean it is not brilliant!
I have many DVDs of Laurel and Hardy. One I enjoy is called "Mud & Sand", it is a take off of the film"Blood & Sand" and is very funny. Stan Laurel basically is pretending to be Rudolph Valentino.

Haha, is Towed In The Hole the one where Stan plays Noughts and Crosses with himself? He keeps looking away every time it's not his move...
Used to love Laurel and Hardy as a kid, my fave was Busy Bodies where they're working in a saw mill, or Perfect Day, perhaps one of the first 'films' completely set in one place...

They were the best, although the L&H cartoon that used to come on TV after school back in the 80's wasn't too good. The films were excellent and I'm sure there'll never be anyone else as funny and laughter-inducing as Laurel & Hardy.

A lot of people think Laurel & Hardy were purely slapstick, which of course they were not.
Their subtleness, timing and innocence were perfect.
Please watch - if you havn't already -' Way out West ' . Follow the story, listen to the dialogue and note the facial expressions. Plus there are a great couple of song and dance routines. Absolutely brilliant !
