I thought Airplane 1 & 2 were very funny. I liked all the Scary Movies (the comedies). I really liked It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, World with all of the greatest comedians of the time. And Bridesmaids was really funny too.
But compared to One Two Three they all are in slow motion.
One Two Three is the fastest most witty comedy I have ever seen. I just saw it on cable. And it is one of Billy Wilder's finest films. You cannot afford to laugh as you will miss the next zinger.
The comedic innuendos come a flying at ya' and you better have a cup of Dark Roast coffee to stay alert.
Fun is made of East/West, North/South, Communism/Capitalism and a ton of everything including society itself. A real tour d'force of life in the 60s and the cold war.
Cagney has the fastest and longest lines you have every seen and he is backed up by a great supporting cast. The story is simple: Executive has to confront his capitalistic boss with the fact that his egocentric daughter falls in love with a commie. The quick witted dialogue between the Russian embassy guy and Cagney are great!
I have to buy the video and show it too my friends, ASAP. And had to get my 2 cents in for a legacy post.
And no CGI special effects, explosions, gun fire, car chases, impending disasters, foot chases, and the big mean bad guy.
All dialogue and funny sight gags. Why can't we make this kind of comedy today.
