My Man Godfrey
Fifth Avenue socialite Irene Bullock needs a "forgotten man" to win a scavenger hunt, and no one is more forgotten than Godfrey Park, who resides in a dump by the East River. Irene hires Godfrey as a servant for her riotously unhinged family, to the chagrin of her spoiled sister, Cornelia, who tries her best to get Godfrey fired. As Irene falls for her new butler, Godfrey turns the tables and teaches the frivolous Bullocks a lesson or two.

It'll be 90 years old this year, and it's still quite an engaging watch. The slapstick nature of Stan and Ollie's humour hasn't really worn well over the years, but this still raises a smile. The grown ups just a want a quiet evening to play some draughts and some pool without being distracted by their mini-me children (Ollie is minus his moustache). Needless to say the kids are mischievous and when sent to bed, things only get worse as they wrestle with their hugely oversize props. The adults' attempt to sing them to sleep would strip paint! Good fun....
