I just found the ABSOLUTE FUNNIEST movie you probably never saw...THE LOVED ONE. It stars Jonathan Winters (in two roles) and Rod Steiger, and Robert Morley among others. For some reason rarely seen on TV. I mean this movie is absolutely HILARIOUS. No one can refrain from bursting out laughing while watching Mr. Joyboy deliver food to his mother. This movie is a MUST SEE!!!
Oops! I meant John Gielgud, not Robert Morley. Oh and Milton Berle is also in this movie.
The Loved One is great and has a big cast (everyone from Jonathan Winters in 2 roles to Milton Berle, Rod Steiger, Paul Williams, and more). It was Terry Southern's followup movie script to Dr. Strangelove

And there are some interesting details in it (I think that bar the newspaper men hang out in was a real LA bar frequented by the leading edge West Coast pop artists, if not, it's a good recreation of it, it can be seen in the the recent documentary The Cool School).(Official Trailer of The Cool School: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDRcXgdiZtQ
Lesson one: NO POOFTERS!
