Laurel & Hardy

[Blew Knows]

One, maybe, for the older Bears.
I see they are showing Laurel & Hardy movies on Talking Pictures TV (Freeview & YouView 81, Freesat 306, Sky 343, Virgin 445). Who was your favourite "golden oldie" - L & H, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keating, Harold Lloyd or any others.
For me it's Stan & Ollie every time.

#1 - Laurel and Hardy.
Chaplin was really clever, creative, groundbreaking - but not as funny as L&H.
Marx Brothers are favourites too.

 

[CarlukeBear]

L & H, Marx Brothers & Abbot & Costello.

 

[Spinning Blue]

My favourite comedy duo ever. Got the massive big box set (about 40 dvd's) and have lost count of how many times I've watched some of them. Legends who will never be bettered.

 

[Lemmy]

Three stooges for me. Never fails to have me sniggering away.

 

[Klos the Boss]

L and H
Buster Keaton
3 stooges

 

[Blues and Royals]

Laurel and Hardy closely followed by the Marx brothers.

 

[ekbear]

Laurel and Hardy every time. A chump at Oxford is my favourite.

 

[Neilstonger]

Laurel and Hardy, closely followed by Buster Keaton.

Never really got the Three Stooges but thought the Marx Brothers quite good.

I bet James Finlayson was a Bear!

Sounds like a good Rangers name doesn't it (he was from Falkirk - the original "D'oh" guy long before Homer)

 

[Corellian Pirate]

Laurel and Hardy are class. I watched Way out West earlier. A Chump at Oxford is on Talking Pictures on Saturday.

 

[Dio]

All Laurel and Hardy films and a special mention for Buster Keating's The General. Superb film and always makes me laugh.

 

[John Candy]

Marx brothers were great. You knew it was time to put the kettle on though when Harpo sat down at the harp, ha

 

[Stuhercules]

I was given the Lauren & Hardy boxset as a present and its brilliant, genius even. To think they were before the first world war is mental. No swearing no nudity no inuendo yet hilarious.

 

[blueboyblue]

Greatest ever in my opinion.

 

[Bluegenebop]

Stan and Ollie for me hands down,still youtube them now and again.

 

[Tormusk1872]

Stan was brought up in Rutherglen, his house still stands on Stonelaw Rd Burnside.

He attended Queens Pk Sec then Rutherglen Academy (now Stonelaw High) and he made his first stage performance at the age of 16 at the Britannia Theatre in the Trongate Glasgow.

Both Stan and Ollie were Masons, Ollie had over 30 degrees.

 

[Andrei Kanthelpit]

Harold Lloyd. Amazing stuff when people had to put themselves in harms way for special effects.

 

[TheMilster]

Laurel and Hardy by a mile.

Music Box is my fav, still cracks me up.

 

[Linwoodbear]

My favourite comedy duo ever. Got the massive big box set (about 40 dvd's) and have lost count of how many times I've watched some of them. Legends who will never be bettered.

I have that box set too, undoubtedly there best stuff was when they were with Hal Roach

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Laurel and Hardy. I put this on

Laurel and Hardy by a mile.

Music Box is my fav, still cracks me up.

I put this on for my 11 years old grandson a couple of months ago and he was gutting himself watching it.

Amazing humour which stands the test of time.

Laurel and Hardy fans in Glasgow should remember that the Panopticon on Trongate is where Stan made his stage debut. Once in a while it holds Laurel and Hardy film nights along with more general silent movie nights.

[Billy's Big Toe]

Laurel and hardy by a country mile, so long ago now but still never bettered!

 

[Boldvale]

"That's another fine mess you got me into" as he slaps Stan about the head with his tie. All good clean fun.

 

[Djave82]

Bought my Dad the box set a few years ago, Air raid wardens is my favourite. Still stands the test of time, one of the few things you can put on and it gets everyone in the room absorbed and laughing.

 

[Stuhercules]

Lauren & Hardy could walk into an empty room and cause utter chaos.
