The Great Dictator 1940, G)
this could easily win a prize for the funniest movie ever. charlie chaplin is at his best performance.some very memorable scenes there.this movie has it all : some many laughs you forget any other crappy comedy you've seen before, but also, some serious, humanitarian message. very chaplin-esque. it wouldn't be magnificent otherwise. |

Tales from the Golden Age 2011, Unrated)
Another masterpiece of Romanian cinematography. it's funny and sad in the same time. funny in its absurdity and sad because it's a good depiction of what it once was. |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl 2003, PG-13)
johnny depp as jack sparrow has embodied his best character so far. any other before is just a sketch of the silly, crazy, funny, amazing captain jack. as for anyone else, they are decor. |

Victor Victoria 1982, PG)
so funny it's the only movie i could see a million times (i very rarely-as in never - see a movie twice) and still laugh while julie andrews is breaking classes :)). it might not be the best, but it's certainly won me over. |

The Purple Rose of Cairo 1985, PG)
one of the greatest movies i've ever seen....strange and delightful. i am not so keen on woody allen, but one of the major reasons for seeing this one is the fact that there's no woody allen starring in center line.i loved the story. kinda disappointed at the end, but i still think it is great. |

Wizard of Oz 1925, Unrated)
a fabulous fairytale.after reading the book, the film is more amazing. that's new. all the movie makes is improve the insipid story in the book, adding music and great casting. ....if only my relatives were like that:) |
