- Second Hand Lions
- Some Like It Hot
- Young Frankenstein (Actually almost any Mel Brooks film High Anxiety, History of the World Part 2, Blazing Saddles, etc

Mel Gibson did a good Hamlet, but he cut out an awfully lot of the play. I’m not sure whether that was good or bad.
Hope you feel better!
