Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953, U.S.)

This wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as Some Like It Hot. I guess men hiding as women from gangsters makes a better story than a woman out to land a sugar daddy (not that there wasn't an element of that in the other). Monroe was good, but her character was just so irritating! However, I loved Jane Russell. She's a snappy, shrewish, self-contained, awesome lady!

The best part of the whole thing was Jane Russell singing "Anyone Here for Love?" with the men's Olympic team in the background wearing tight, skin-toned short shorts doing all kinds of acrobatics. It was huh-larious. Probably worth watching just for that!

I Was a Male War Bride (1949, U.S.)

I adore Cary Grant, and this film is a Cary Grant film. That's pretty much enough said right there. It was absolutely hilarious and quite risque for the '40s. There was all kind of sexual innuendo and cross dressing and overall bending of traditional gender roles.

It was also interesting because it was like two movies rolled into one. Part one was how these two people who got on each other's nerves fell in love. (Think It Happened One Night for the military.) Part two was how the man dealt with being a role traditionally reserved for women.

Slapstick comedy and witty puns galore. I laughed out loud over and over again. If you need a laugh or a Cary Grant fix, this is definitely a great choice.

Bringing Up Baby (1938, U.S.)

What can I say about this one? It's a classic—absolutely hilarious. I love Cary Grant, and I'm also quite fond of Katharine Hepburn. Add a domestic leopard, mistaken identities, and strange situations, and you can't go wrong.

This one just has to speak for itself. It's a classic, and if you want a good laugh, this will do it.
