There is something special to these classical movies.

The naked gun with the queen of england is my all time favorite, for all comedies. The baseball match is unforgettabble!

If you like that humor watch the very short lived Police Squad! Pretty much the same thing.

Seconding the recomendation for "Police Squad!". Amazing series that gets slept on.

Will check it! Thanks a lot!

I discovered this a few years ago. Best series ever.

It boggles my mind that these are movies that need to be "discovered". There was a time when everybody had, at the very least, heard of them.

I'm so old.

My favorite movie ever.

The statue scene in which he is hanging onto it .. LOL

Yeah with the smile! But my favorite part ever was the marching band on the bad guy to end up in style, and in music :-)

My partner really hated the Naked Gun films. She said they were stupid and not funny, although she loves Top Secret. One day, she got out of the shower about 10 minutes after I'd started one, and laughed at it. She asked what it was, but I would only tell her if she watched all of it.

She loved it. Every second of it. She nearly wet herself laughing at the statue. When we got to the end, she again asked what it was called, and I told her. She glared at me, called me a bastard, and asked if we could watch the sequel.

You won, Leslie Neilsen, you won.

The trailers were always pretty diabolical.

I didn't remember them, so I had a look on YouTube. You're right, they were awful!
