I was on a silent movie kick a few months back. Loved Keaton, Fatty Arbuckle, Chaplin and my personal favorite Harold Lloyd.
Beginning in the late 1980s today’s comedies became more of a “see what new CGI we have!” That’s Comedy? I thought.

Showed Harold Lloyd to my 9th grade class they were glued and very amused

That’s the test - to me.

9th grade, 10th grade boys are the funniest creatures on the planet

The most amusing movie now and from a very long time is ‘The Heat’ with Sandy B and Melissa McCarthy. No CGI. Just girls going along with a hilarious director ‘oh let’s do this, this would be funny’.
