Boomers. Suggest a old movie for millenials.

If you want to not watch politically correct watch any of the Dolemite movies.

Growing up it was on every summer and I watched it every summer.


I should show it to my child. She is getting old enough to appreciate not for children movies.

The emboldened in the above and Bringing Up Baby are the very best madcap comedies of all time . . . just behind your autobiography, of course.

First time I saw it was at a midnight showing. I was very drunk and had no idea what it was about--got dragged by a friend. All I remember is getting showered with popcorn, water from squirt guns and a bunch of women running around in their bras. Never did know what the movie was about until I watched it again a few years ago (safely and soberly in my own home), and I really liked it. Tim Curry was phenomenal.

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?

Captain Renault: I'm shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.

Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

Captain Renault: Oh, thank you very much.
