Sorry, looked it up. “The Music Box” was great. I was thinking about a later on where they are up in the alps trying to move a piano and for some reason a gorilla was there. Not good.

That would've been "Swiss Miss", as they began their decline into slicker production films that parodied themselves.

Their last one, I believe it was called "Atoll X" was both awful and sad; a French film with dubbed dialogue (other than The Boys), and horrible, horrible film quality. Obviously, they needed the money at that time.

Add to that, Laurel looked like he was at death's door.

Of the L&H classics, I'd probably rate "Music Box" #1 (an easy pick, their only Oscar), followed by "Sons of the Desert", "Way Out West", and then "Helpmates."

But the list of great ones is very long, IMO.
