I recently became friends with this 56-year-old man and we’re having a movie night tomorrow together. He wants to show me the “trio” of the greatest movies ever made: The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption & Casablanca. Haven’t seen any of those (probably cause of my age: almost 22). For me the 3 greatest movies ever are Titanic, Lord of the Rings 2003 & Spirited Away. Wondering what those are for you.
None of those are comedies, and I would put at least one comedy into the trio.
My vote would be Blazing Saddles.
“Well raise my rent.”
The shaking “shooting hand” gag from Gene Wilder is a family staple.
I tried showing that movie to my Gen z little sister and she was mortified the whole time.
It truly was a different time.
