If I recall, that was a huge hit when it came out. I wouldn’t call it an uncommon film.

Yeah, but half the people here weren't even born when it came out.

So for that matter, one could respond with Cleopatra, or Ben Hur?

[-] ProceduralDeathLab@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Huh. I’ve never really thought of Ben Hur as a comedy.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 year ago

What type of movie it is is irrelevant. The point remains that old and outdated, doesn’t mean uncommon.

[-] ProceduralDeathLab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oooo...yeahhhh, ummm...I'm gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there. Yeah, uh, this is a thread about comedies, and I'm just not sure that this is the caliber movie that we would want for an uncommon comedy.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Replace Ben Hur with ANY Jerry Lewis film then. The point remains.
