I've had some cold/flu from hell this past week plus so I made a good old comfort snack. Tomato soup and grilled cheese and put on a comforting comedy.
Watched, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Every time I see it I'm reminded of the innocent Hollywood that entertained instead of shocked.
What a good movie.

I remember seeing it when it came out. Fun movie, good cast, good memories.

Edit: It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Just mad isn't it?

My guess is It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World had more stars in it than any movie in history.

I watched Horizon, An American Saga a couple of nights ago. I heard it didn’t do well in theaters. I can see why. It was OK but he should have stuck with the Yellowstone show.

My favorite movie of all time!

Garden State… Zach Braff wrote, directed and stars in his first movie… it’s not for everyone, lots of dry humor, sight gags and classic faux pas (Amway sales anyone?)… I find it entertaining enough that it’s on our list of movies we watch “frequently” (every one or two years)…

I bought this movie on a whim as the DVD cover featured Zach, Natalie and, more importantly, a green Dnepr MT 16 sidecar… which was “close enough” to the Ural hack in my avatar…

Wikipedia lists 12 big name stars in mad, mad world, quite a few for a comedy. It was one of the first movies I saw in the theater.
One of my other favorite movies, "How the West Was Won" has 22 listed big name stars, plus narration by Spencer Tracy.
Hollyweird just doesn't make the classics like they used to!

Sometimes, I like to watch a movie with no redeeming social values, just a dumb comedy, like "The Stupids".

Part is the cost.
They all made good money for the day but not the amounts now made.
A favorite of mine is American Graffiti.
They say that just the rights to the sound track would eat the entire budget converted into today's money.
