A blog created for American Film Comedy, a course at Emerson College. Tuesday, July 1, 2008. Some Like It Mildly Warm. As much as I hate to repeat post, Some Like It Hot is probably the one film we watched that is deserving (at least more then Pink Flamingos.).  The film is consistently rated as one of the top. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the film and Billy Wilder. 160;The film is funny but never loses its heart and that can be directly contributed to Wilder and Diamond's script. Some Like It Hot.

It is considered a crime comedy, but I’m not too positive how comedy comes into this except maybe because of its repulsiveness—that is to say it’s so repulsive that its hilarious.

So the forbidden magical fruit was all the sweeter when I did hear it on tv or in movies. However, Blazing Saddles just doesn’t do it for me. I had never seen any Mel Brooks movies until this class but I had heard good things. 160; So my expectations were probably too high.  . Maybe Mel Brooks is. 160; I can ...

American Film Comedy: this was an easy decision...

A blog created for American Film Comedy, a course at Emerson College. Tuesday, July 1, 2008. This was an easy decision. So If my presentation on The Great Dictator didn't show it off enough, I get a little starry-eyed when it comes to Chaplin. I just love him and I think his movies are both hilarious and moving. Oddly enough I had never seen THE KID before we watched it in class. The verdict- I thought it was completely incredible, I was totally blown away. Many of the films that we watched this semester...
