How in the plupurfect hell did we get to 8 posts before someone listed The Holy Grail?

Annie Hall
Dr. Strangelove-How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Dr Strangelove would have to qualify as the blackest of black comedy. Really a satire, like Swift's "A Modest Proposal".

I'll add Arsenic and Old Lace. Cary Grant was one of the great comic actors.

Yeah, but you're talking about a time when acting was more than taking off your clothes, wrecking cars, or shooting the heck out of everything.

It's like trying to get umm... young people to watch 30's/early 40's comedies where the dialogue is quick, intelligent, and witty. They're not used to that It's like lyrics in pop music...a lost art.

Hell it's hard to get most of the boomer generation to watch them. .

I do think acting is more realistic than ever. I am a big fan of old films, but with a few exceptions, movie acting was similar to stage acting; overly dramatic. I would say it wasn't until the 60s that we began to see some subtlety. Actors are much better at that these days.
