THE BAND WAGON (1953)

A big fun colorful 1950s musical that actually, for once, bothers to have characters and arcs and things, and also Fred Astaire dance-fights a bunch of guys.

MONSIEUR VERDOUX (1947)

This “comedy of murders” starring Charlie Chaplin as a serial killer was a scandalous flop in the US but has since been re-evaluated.

AIRPLANE! (1980)

This genesis of many, many other very silly movies was the subject of our “Emergency Election Night Watch Party” last night.
