My wife is discovering old movies as she never was exposed to much American culture growing up. The classics we both still laugh at and quote include: 1) Anything from the Marx Bros. 2) Most of Chaplin. 3) The Thin Man. 4) Arsenic and Old Lace. 5) Harvey. 6) W. C. Fields. Fields probably has the most quotable lines.
A lot of the early M*A*S*H episodes (before it became The Alan Alda Show).
Have all the Thin Man series and Harvey I adore. Felt that was a bit far back even for my senior engineers though - HA!
Please watch “Kind Hearts and Coronets”.
One of the best of the Alec Guinness comedies with a great ending.
