The best Stan and Ollie Film Which one is Yours?

[A57 the snake]

The Dance scene in way out west ,absolutely comedy at its very best . I read a biography from Stan and it was truly heartbreaking at the end. Great thread truly deserved one these two.

 

[Barcon]

The one where Stanley is tied to the mast and has a black eye and the one where they dance to the Blue ridge mountains of Virginia.

 

[Winchester]

Heard somewhere that he insisted on a contract that paid him twice as much as Ollie.

He wanted Babe and himself released from The Contract drawn up from Hal Roach
His was ending and Babe's was ending a short while later
I understand he disputed Roach's Claim they were his Creation , Stan totally denied this
Babe stayed with Roche and filmed Xenophobia much to Stan's Disapproval

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Not a film per se but I loved the one with the piano.....absolutely fantastic.

It’s a great thread this really enjoying all the clips etc brilliant memories we have , should be shown more on national tv rather than the tripe we’re served up. As with with most successful teams there’s them ready to shoot them down we know that more than most , I’ve always found it odd and difficult/ dissatisfying that people try and bring them down they were in my eyes from what I’ve read in both of awe of each other.
I very much doubt we’d of had dads army , captain mainwaring sgt Wilson , steptoe and son and Del and and Rodney. To name a few.

 

[Looby_Blue]

Our Relations has me in stiches. Classis James Finlayson d'oh and double takes.

 

[Tenerife City bar Stan]

A Chump at Oxford , way out west , sons of the desert. I even called my Son Oliver … so we’re Stan and Oli was a member of the Be Big tent years ago then formed our own the ( Pardon us ) tent

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Used to watch them in the summer holidays as a kid & I vaguely remember a scene where Hardy is pacing up & down waiting for an very important phone call, the phone rings, Stan picks it up, listens for a bit, says "it certainly is" and puts the phone down,
Hardy says "who was that" & Stan says "some bloke saying its a long distance from Tennassee"
Still makes me smile :-)

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

1. Busy bodies
2. Towed in a hole
3. Dirty work

‘Somewhere an electric chair is waiting!’

Brats, genius for the time.

Watch it

Another vote from me for "Brats" - as stated, it's genius

The other one I always remember is "Twice Two"

In it, Stan plays Ollie's wife and Ollie plays Stan's wife

Again - genius
