been there, done that

Yes, I have seen all the funny films included in this TV special. I hadn't seen any other movies older than "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975) before I started this so it was quite an experience for me. If anyone out there has an interest in working on this list, feel free to send me a private message to me and I'll give you some helpful tips.

OK, so the list isn't perfect. Some of the films I didn't particularly care for. Others were good, but not as funny as one might hope. However, humor is very subjective so one person may see a film as very funny while another might hate it.

I repeat, please click on the link that says (ajdagreat) and send me a private message if you have an interest in these fine films.
