Laurel & Hardy!

These almost never fail to cause a smile. If you like Stan and Ollie, you've come to the right place!

One of my favorites is "The Music Box" -- centered around a piano "the Boys" were moving.

one of my favorites was BABES IN TOYLAND. Once in awhile some tv channel will play their movies . Just keep a lookout for them.

"Me and My Pal" is a good one, in which a simple jigsaw puzzle causes Ollie to miss his own wedding!

My hubby and I are long time, hard core fanatics of this great classic comedy duo. When AMC ran a L&H Festival, of their films, we taped a bunch!

Here is just one good site to review a lot of their silent shorts, plus several talkies features:

FAMOUS DANCE FROM "WAY OUT WEST"

Sons of the Desert
Released by MGM, 29 Dec 1933 - 68 minutes
Producer: Hal Roach
Director: William Seiter

Cast: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Mae Busch, Dorothy Christie, Charley Chase,
Lucien Littlefield, Harry Bernard

One of the two films most oft-cited by L&H buffs as their best feature — the other is Way Out West — Sons of the Desert is a hilarious affair from start to
finish that combines elements from several past films, including Their Purple Moment, We Faw Down, Blotto and Be Big.

In a nutshell: Stan and Ollie conspire to get away from their wives and attend the annual Sons of the Desert convention in California.

Ollie feigns illness and a "doctor" (a veterinarian hired by The Boys) recommends an ocean voyage to Honolulu as a cure.

Off to the convention they go...but then the ship on which they were allegedly returning from Honolulu sinks.

The wives, distraught with worry, go to a movie to take their minds off the matter and there they see a newsreel that shows the Sons of the Desert cavorting in the streets at their annual convention, far from Hawaii.
Guess who is featured prominently in the newsreel footage.

Stan and Oliver learn about the shipwreck and try to lie their way out of their predicament,
unaware their spouses know they're fibbing. Tight and funny, the film never wastes a second and offers many joys, including one of their too-rare musical numbers...and a hilarious performance by fellow Roach star Charley Chase.

He's terrific as an obnoxious conventioneer — a role he reportedly disliked but still played with great skill.

All of it works together to create as funny a movie
as anyone has ever made.

I like Laughing Gravy, Twice Two, Busy Bodies, Be Big, Perfect Day.... I just like Laurel and Hardy in general. They have too many good shows to name.

I always enjoy watching them, no matter how many times I see them.

I love Laurel and Hardy!!! I haven't seen them all, but I do really like Babes and Toyland!

I watched a documentary the other night, and it was all about their careers before they became a duo. It was quite interesting.
