Favorite Laurel & Hardy Films
Posted: October 18th, 2023, 11:27 am
Now that I have seen all their surviving films, here are my favorites, split by shorts and features-
SHORTS
1. Big Business (1929) Very funny battle with James Finalyson, they destroy his house and he attacks their car.
2. Brats (1930) They play themselves and their sons.
3. Helpmates (1931) Ollie asks Stan to help him clean up after a wild party
4. The Music Box (1932) Hilarity as they deliver a piano up huge flight of steps
5. Their First Mistake (1932) Ollie's wife leaves him because he spends so much time with Stan. Ollie-"She says I think more of you than I do of her" and Stan replies "Well, you do don't you?"
FEATURES
1. Sons Of The Desert (1933) Hilarious antics as the boys try to go to a lodge convention without telling their wives.
2. Babes In Toyland (1934) A great fairy tale operetta, they flow right along with the story, don't seem out of place like some of their other operettas.
3. Way Out West (1937) Very funny scenes and nice musical moments as well
4. Blockheads (1938) Ollie takes war buddy Stan home for a home cooked meal, some funny dark humor in this one.
5. Pardon Us (1931) The boys end up in prison, funny scenes with convict Walter Long and teacher James Finlayson. Ollie shows off his fine singing voice.
