50 Favorite Comedies
By: alex peterson
a list of movies criterion does not recognize:
a girl in every port
our hospitality
the ladykillers
the man in the white suit
being two isn’t easy
hatari!
hold me while i’m naked
welcome, or no trespassing
MASH (!)
eijanaika
meet the feebles
dead alive
dr, akagi
the wayward cloud
this is clearly designed to advertise criterion releases, not canonize great movies. ridiculous.
