The old Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin films were great,and the Lewis movies after they split.

The Alec Guiness comedies from the fifties are classics.I thought of him as only a comedian until "Bridge on the River Kwai" came out.

The entire family,including grnadparents,parents,and children could go see those old comedies.. There aren't many of them anymore.

The only Alec Guiness comedy I know that I've seen is Lady Killers. I rented that one because it had him and Peter Sellers in it.

Haven't seen the remake yet.

Some of Jerry Lewis' films I remember liking, like Cinderfella and the Geisha Boy, but I can't always take him.

There was one where he's playing a little boy or something and it's with Dean Martin, it was on AMC or TCM a year or so ago and I tried to watch it but I couldn't take it LOL!

Of course, in King of Comedy he was great. He should have found more roles like that. All that frenetic energy focused into a dramatic role, he could have been one of the greats.
