Great movies, all of them. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankestein is probably the funniest of all.

mustangfun101 · 04-05-2008, 02:46 AM

Ummmmmmm, duh!

You have the wrong order though.

A&C Meet Frankenstein #1

Dude...those are some of the funniest movies ever made.

Warning: movies are in B&W.

I loved this line in the movie, pretty great for those times.

Bud Abbott commenting on Lenore Aubert dating Lou Costello

Preston : Frankly, I don't get it.
Lenore: Frankly, you never will.

I've heard of them but I've never seen them. You want to here something shocking. "Never seen any Monty Python movies either.

You're kidding right?? Every major black and white monster legend made an appearance in their movies. Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy, and Invisible Man. Legends.

Different type of humor. But you should check some of those movies, you will be surprised.

Mustang, what is the name of the movie where Bud and Lou inherit that Haunted House out in the Boonies?

Evelyn Ankers is in it.

Just go to "you tube" and do a search and see some of their bits. "who's on first" being the elite of them. Jerry Seinfeld said that without these two he might not have tried to be a comedian.

The Invisible Man is another super funny movie. Must mention "Hold That Ghost"

Hold that Ghost. "The boys scare up a whole houseful of laughs in this madcap movie classic, which finds them as two bumbling service station attendants who've inheritied a home belonging to a notorious gangster. But their spirits are only slightly dampened when a rainstorm forces them and a host of other stranded travelers to spend the night in the house - which turns out to have more than its share of ghosts - in the film that will have you screaming with delight!!"

Just a great, great movie. And I did mention it above

I own them all on standard DVD. Volume 4 has the special that Jerry Seinfeld did on them, a great thing to watch.

I would spend the money on "meet Frankenstein" and "The time of their lives". Also, probably on "The Naughty Nineties" which was my favorite presentation of "Who's on First".

By the way, I have a coffee cup...try to find it, with the whole "who's on first" act on it. It's a big cup.

I have all of those A & B sets too. Priceless! I would recommend to everyone out there to get A & B Meet Frankenstein. So worth it!! If you want to see funny....

I'll cross my fingers.

I want the entire run of classic Universal monster pictures, from the original Frankenstein and Dracula to Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein - and everything in between. Being older than most of you, I saw many of these in the theater when they were originally released!!!

I already have them on LaserDisc and DVD. So, I won't bat an eye on triple-dipping them on Blu-ray Disc.

Agreed. I own all of these on DVD, and will double dip on BD without a second thought. Bring it on!
