For movie buffs interested in older films, I have a few recos:

Clifton Webb in "Sitting Pretty" from the 1950s is a bit dated but still funny!
Ginger Rogers in "Kitty Foyle"
Bette Davis in "The Letter"
Gregory Peck in "Gentlemen's Agreement"
For newer movies:
Ned Beatty in "Hear My Song" (This is a must for anyone of Irish heritage)
Of course John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in "The Quiet Man"
The full length one, not the chopped up one you see on TV.
Others Include :
The funniest Western ever made, enjoyable even by those who are not Western fans, "The Hallelujah Trail." Burt Lancaster caught by a Lady while he's in an Army field bathtub is worth the price of admission,
John Wayne in that movie I can never remember the title of until I see it which is sited in Africa and has Red Buttons in an hilarious supporting role.
"Ned Devine" and "Saving Grace" I've mentioned ad nauseum.
Comedy is my meat these days ... did you guess?
I have had it with "serious" movies except for "Private Ryan," perhaps. But did enjoy "Forrest Gump" which had some wildly funny moments.
As one movie magnet once said : "If you want to send a message, call Western Union!"
Life's is serious enough... when I go out to a movie I want to be entertained and as I grow older that means LAUGHS!
wow
