I made the mistake of listening to NPR as I did a lot of driving yesterday. Don't get me wrong, I love me some NPR, but the news is more than I can take sometimes.
So I posted a request for comedy movies on FB, and my friends came through. (because my friends are AWESOME like that)
Back at the beginning of the pandemic Hot Dog started us on a Marvel movie marathon, then we did a Harry Potter marathon, then some stuff I didn't remember (edit to note at least some of it was 007 movies, and Bridge over the River Kwai),... right now we're three seasons in to Parks and Rec, which is a lovely show, but I'm ready for a break. So I'm going to suggest a comedy movie marathon, and hope that since friends recommended them rather than me, Hot Dog will go a long with it.
So, with no further ado, in no order, and probably with some repeats, here are recommendations from my friends. If you see something missing, let me know in the comments!!
