Abbott and Costello

Who's seen their movies? And who loves them? And which ones have you seen?

I've seen Abbot and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karlof (my favorite ), Hit the Ice, Hold that Ghost (another favorite), Buck Privates Come Home, Here Come the Fellow Co-Eds, Pardon My Sarong (love this one too!), Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man.

LOL I love Abbott and Costello, I had to look this one up on IMD cause it was one I saw as a kid it was called "The Time of Their Lives" it was set back in the 1700's I think and I only remember that they were dead and bound to some property with some woman and they could not leave the boundary of the property until their loved ones called for them to go into the light. I recently saw Buck Privates, it was on TCM its the one with the Andrew Sisters singing boogie woogie bugle boy. I think I have seen most of their movies and they are great!!!

What about Laurel and Hardy? I literally die laughing when their movies are on!!

I haven't seen as much stuff in theirs but yes, they are funny too. I LOVE Brats, it is hilarious, and the Laurel and Hardy Murder Case, that one was just ridiculous, and I remember another one I think was called Utopia where their uncle died and had a lot of money on an island and they went to get it.

Yeah their humor is different from A&C. I liked the one where they went to the convention in Hawaii and they told their wives they were on a business trip and the wives saw them on TV in Hawaii. Its all great stuff.

My favorite A & C is a toss up between A & C Meet Frankenstein and The Time of Their Lives. And yes, I enjoy L & H very much too. I don't remember the name and am too lazy to look it up but the one where they're trying to deliver a piano...classic comedy.

That's called The Music Box, alan, it's a remake of an earlier film they did that involved a washing machine instead of a piano, unfortunately, so far as everybody knows, the footage for that one has been lost and probably gone forever...too bad, I'd love to see them trying to get a big old washing machine up those stairs. But speaking of which, has anybody here noticed that the 3 Stooges did something like that in their short An Ache in every Stake? Trying to get 2 big blocks of ice up about 1000 stairs and by the time Curly gets up there, they've melted into ice cubes.
