I am trying to remember some of the funniest movies I saw as child. They were foreign Western comedies from the 60's -70's starring two partners in a series of films. One a young blond/blue eyed actor and the other a very big guy with black hair. The comedies always had great scenes with mass fist fights.

Ring a bell to anyone?

That would be the Italian duo of Bud Spencer (Carlo Pedersoli) and Terence Hill (Mario Girotti) who starred in spaghetti westerns, but of a different kind than the Clint Eastwood vehicles.

I can still hear the cheap-o sound fx for fists landing in various body parts. The fact that all the actors clearly hold their punches does not detract from the humorous value.

Last night I watched A Night At The Opera - just classic. Tonight it may be A Day At The Races. Yes, I guess I am a Marxist.
Chico did his usual marvelous (and fun) piano solo, then Harpo did a piano solo followed by a harp solo!

But that's bigamy!
Yes, and it's big of me too.

You can get brick, you can get shingle, and you can get stucco. Oh, boy, can you get stuck-o!

If I lived to be 200 years old, Curly-featured Three Stooges, the Little Rascals, I Love Lucy, the Marx Brothers, Harold Lloyd and WC Fields would still make me laugh like crazy.
