The Producers https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3b/The_Producers_%281968%29.jpg Dir: Mel Brooks Genre: Musical, Comedy Year: 1967 The Producers is the funniest comedy film in the history of the world (part 1) until probably some time in the 1980s. It's insane that something this irreverent was released in the 1960s. A black comedy featuring a musical glorifying Hitler and Nazi Germany ~20 years after the Holocaust could only have been pulled off by the legendary Mel Brooks. I said in the OP that I really do not enjoy musicals. However, musical comedies--especially those that are somewhat farcical in nature--are the general exception. I could listen to the soundtrack to The Producers and laugh to myself like a moron to this day. 50+ years later (holy shit), it's just as funny as ever. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
