How To Get Rid Of Kidney Stones Naturally
There is no getting away from the fact that kidney stones can be very painful. Some people say the pain associated with the symptoms of kidney stones is the most excruciating pain they've ever experienced.
So what are kidney stones?
The medical terminology for kidney stones is Nephrolithiasis or Renal Calculi, and kidney stones is the term used to refer to urolithiasis or the formation of stones, or calculi in the urinary system.
What causes kidney stones?
The precise cause of most kidney stones is not known, however the most common cause of kidney stones is the presence of too much calcium in the urine, closely followed by a person not drinking enough water. There is also a certain amount of research to indicate that if others within y our family group have suffered with kidney stones, then you are more likely to.
The incidence of kidney stones is increasing, and at the moment men seem more likely to develop kidney stones than women, although the amount of women that develop kidney stones is on the up. Presently around one in ten men and around one in thirty-five women are likely to develop kidney stones.
How will I know if I have kidney stones?
Trust me, you will soon know as it is a painful condition. The first symptom is often often sudden, extreme pain, usually in the back and side in the kidney area, or in the lower abdomen.
It is important that these kidney stones are eliminated as soon as possible, because as they get larger it becomes nearly impossible to urinate which can cause severe medical problems.
So how can kidney stones be treated?
Treatment of kidney stones in the conventional way can be painful, with one of the traditional methods being to just let the stone pass naturally. Anyone who has suffered with kidney stones knows that this is not an easy option, as it is extremely painful. Luckily open surgery is not really an option nowadays.
There is now a totally natural treatment that breaks the stones apart and that also stimulates the kidneys into a flushing activity to cleanse the kidney and help to stop new stones from forming - the product is Uriflow. This is the only product of its kind that will target all parts of the treatment that is necessary for eliminating kidney stones.
So if you are unfortunate enough to find yourself, or someone in your family, suffering with kidney stones then you can help yourself immensely by taking Uriflow, or a similar product. Plus ensure that your intake of water increases in future, as lack of hydration is a known contributory factor to kidney stones.
This will act fast to start reducing the stones to gravel, so that they are more easily flushed out naturally.

A Proud Member Of The Key Stone Cops
I was 22 years old in 1972, married with one child and attending a local college majoring in Biology. Even though I had a bulk of my school paid for under the GI bill, I still had to find employment to feed and cloth my new family. I applied for several jobs and on a Monday AM, I received a phone call from a small town city police Department asking if I would come in for an interview for the position of Police Officer? I went and for God knows what reason, I was hired on the spot. I had no previous experience in police work other then viewing every episode of Dragnet on television. I went home and advised my wife Janice of my new position, it paid a grand total of .29 per hour with a mandatory 6 day work week all paid at streight time. She was undecided as to jump for joy or try and talk me out of it, but eventually she gave me her blessing and I was off to work the following Monday morning. I had expected to start with some sort of training classes or maybe attending a police training seminar for a few weeks but that was not the case. I was told to ride with a fellow who had been working there for about eight months and to pay attention to what he did. We patrolled the city streets, answered a few boring calls and stopped a few cars for speeding and such, all in all it was a fairly easy job.
I was later told that there would be official classroom training after my first year was up, this sounded a little late in coming, I was a police officer, able to make arrests, write tickets and the whole nine yards but had no type of training to go by other then common sense. The days turned into weeks and the weeks into months. I had been involved in robberies, thefts, stolen autos and every other crime a city experiences. I paid attention to other cops on the beat and learned from them. The part I enjoyed most was helping citizens that needed help or a friend to lean on. I would be willing to bet I drove more DUIs home then I arrested, I was a guy that understood peoples problems and if there was any way to solve them I did, I found this much better then adding more weight to their already heavy burden. One night I received a call to a local pub called "The Back Street Lounge", a fight was in progress. I arrived and everyone pointed to the back door, yelling, "He went that way". I stepped into a very dark, dirty alley and listened for some type of sound which would give me an idea of where the culprit was. I stood there for about two minutes when I heard a snapping type sound. It was not coming from my left or right, but from above? As I started to look up, the full body weight of a 230 pound drunk along with a sizable oak limb crashed down upon my head. We both went to the ground and rolled around for what seemed like an hour but in actual time was about one minute. I got him to his feet and he was so inebriated I had to let him sit back down. Another ten minutes had passed and we walked through the alley and onto the side street directly across from the city jail. After booking him on public intoxication charges I placed him in the drunk tank to sleep it off. The next day I was reprimanded for not calling for back up, not charging him with fleeing a police officer, and assault upon a police officer. When he appeared in front of the city judge, he was fined .00 and told to behave himself.
A week or two after that incident, I came upon an elderly gentleman who was sitting in the city park on a bench. It was about 8PM and I stepped up to him just to say Hello, as he looked up, it was apparent that he had been consuming a good bit of the drink and he stuttered "good evening officer". He was a thin gaunt man in his fifties I would guess and seemed extremely sad. I asked if he was OK and did he have a place to go for the night? He said he was homeless and would move on, he was just tired and hungry. I asked where he was going to spend the night and he replied in the woods I guess. I thought to myself, "I cant let him go to the woods, it was going to rain". I only had about .00 for mu supper and that would not help him, so I asked if he would prefer to spend the night in a warm cell where he would be dry and get some food, I also told him he would be released tomorrow with no fines. His eyes lit up and he said "Oh my yes, yes in deed". I put him in the back seat of my squad car and drove him to the jail. There were two Sergeants watching me get him out of the car and take him into booking. I left and went to a burger joint and got him some food and returned it to him. The next morning I was reprimanded for not handcuffing a prisoner and buying him food. I received two days off with out pay for this infraction.
Time passed and I forgot about the man in the park as there were plenty of others to occupy my time. I was on patrol one Sunday afternoon and I was the only city officer on duty with the exception of the dispatcher, who had four years seniority over myself. I received a call to proceed to an address on the East end of town. A domestic disturbance was in progress and the man was said to have a gun. I arrived to witness a man and woman involved in a tug of war over a 35 caliber rifle! I called it in and was told to wait for the county back up that was about to be called. I yelled at the people to drop the gun and stand still, they did not comply and by now the barrel of the gun was tucked firmly in the stomach of the woman. I ran up to the house and used my left elbow to strike the male who fell backwards releasing the grip on the gun, I yanked it from the woman's hands and opened the action of the rifle to find it was empty. It took about five minutes to calm the two down and get them into a talking frame of mind. The County police drove up and told me to call in as the dispatcher was frantic at not being able to raise me. You guessed it, one week off with out pay for disobeying a Superior's orders. I was frustrated but I figured I was being paid to do a job and if that woman or man had been killed while I watched and did nothing, I don't think I could have lived with myself.
Time passed and all was quiet and peaceful, I was patrolling the main streets of the city as usual when I decided to get out and walk for a while. I enjoyed checking door knobs in the business district and the owners of the stores liked seeing this done also. When I would come upon something that I felt should be corrected, I would leave them a short note and it was usually taken care of by the next day. That evening I came upon a fairly new store that had opened just a few weeks earlier. I thought I saw a flicker of light in the rear of the store but was not positive. I turned the door knob and it opened in my hand. This is something you have to experience for yourself to get the real feeling of impending doom that awaits you on the other side of that door. I stepped back and used my walkie talkie to advise dispatch of the situation. Of course I got the same thing as I had expected, "Wait for back up"! This store was in a strip mall about two football fields long and all stores had back doors. I heard a shuffling of feet in the back of the store so I slipped in the front, turned off my radio and drew my weapon. In the distance I heard a siren and I knew the burglars would hit the woods in the rear of the store if they suspected that the cops' were on the way. Sure enough, as the siren got louder the two figures made their way to the rear door. I remained under cover but yelled as loud as I could "Police" you are surrounded, drop any weapons and raise your hands NOW! One hit the back door and the other was coming up close behind him. I dove forward and tackled the last guy and we both went down fighting and swinging. When the back up car arrived and turned on the lights, I was on the floor on top of a nineteen year old punk who had a rap sheet dating back to his grade school days. He squealed as to who his partner in crime was and the both were sent to the county jail and the stolen items were recovered. I got three days off with out pay for not waiting for back up to arrive.
By now I was about to get a part time job to make up for the days off with out pay that I had racked up during this illustrious career. You have to remember that I was 22 years old, 6 feet tall and 135 pounds soaking wet. Myself and Barney Phife would have made a splendid crime busting duo. I had always subscribed to the idea that if you were receiving a certain amount of money to do a certain job, it was your responsibility to do that job to the best of your capabilities or find another job that suited you better. I had been tagged as a cop that did not like to follow rules and would end up getting himself shot because I was too impatient. I found myself alone in my squad care while most of the other guys would ride two to a car, to put it more plainly, I was not liked very much by the other policemen but the citizens did like me and I was usually asked for by name when there was a problem requiring a cop. This did not sit well with the others at all. One evening around 10 PM I saw an overhead door 1/2 way open at a vending company. I parked my car up the street and walked down slowly. I radioed in and advised them to send back up with out lights or sirens as I would be in the middle of a possible shoot out with no cover. I was hidden just outside the open door when I heard sirens headed my way! Surely this was an ambulance or a fire truck, they might not like me but this could get me shot. Within two minutes I saw Blue lights and sirens heading down the side street, Head lights on bright and I was lit up like a Christmas tree and anyone inside that building with a gun could not have missed me. No one was inside the building and the door had just not been secured. The next morning we had a meeting in the chiefs office and the cop who was driving the car with lights and sirens quit on the spot and left making the remark "You all want him gone anyway, I was just doing what you didn't have the guts to do yourself". Everyone there shrugged their shoulders as if to say "What is he talking about"? I knew and if I ever needed help, no one was going to be there for me.
The last incident took place around a group of thieves who were stealing heavy equipment from a construction site in the woods along a creek. Every other day, there were reports of parts missing, batteries missing and one time a small Bob-Cat type tractor was stolen. It was about midnight one Saturday when I was on patrol and heard a piece of heavy equipment idling somewhere in the woods along the construction site. I got out of my car and listened harder, I could just make out voices in the distance but could not make out what they were saying. The only other car on patrol that night had two sergeants riding together in it. I called them and waited until they arrived. We listened and decided to split up and enter the woods with one on the left, me in the middle and the other Sergeant on the right. Slowly I crept into the woods making my way close to the site where the gang of thief's were hard at work. It was extremely dark and I was not able to use my flash light for fear of them seeing me. I could hear my back up to my left and I was getting close to the site. I figured we were all moving about the same speed and I saw a flicker of light to my left and whispered "Sarge, I see your light, cut it off, they will see you. I saw my other Sergeants light to my right also and told him, " you are going to get shot sarge, dim your light"! There was a good bit of scrambling in the bushes around me and after about fifteen minutes, the woods was silent, not a sound was heard and the engine idling had stopped some time earlier. I sat there for about 1 hour listening for some type of sound, Nothing. I said in a normal voice "Well I guess they are gone, lets go back". No reply! I made my way back to my squad car to find it parked alone, the two sergeants were gone? They did not even wait to see if I had gotten out of the woods in one piece. I called in to dispatch telling them I was back in service. I changed the channel to a private car to car channel to ask the two other cops if they saw anything more then I had seen? They answered me that they had received a call immediately after we entered the woods and had to leave to answer it. Remember I was in the middle, for one to talk to the other either would have had to passed me! and no one ever did. Both turned 180 degrees after we got out of sight of one and other and they left. I was the only cop in the woods. The two moving around me were the thief's, they had lights and I thought they were the good guys. At any given moment, I could have been shot and never known why?
I took that job because I enjoy helping people in trouble, everyone makes a mistake at some point in their life. I enjoyed helping the guy or woman who was down and out. If a law was broken, I did everything in my power to apprehend the offender. If someone needed a ride home in stead of taking him to jail, I took him home. Cops are there to keep the piece not to bully the public around. Just because you have the authority to put someone behind bars, you have to be a human first and try and understand how this person got to that point in life. A guy who just had a fight with his wife has enough on his mind, he does not need the added burden of a heavy fine, the possible loss of his job and the embarrassment of a record or picture in the local news paper. Every thing I did then, I would do over again. I might have not been the rough cop on the beat the others were but I did not deserve to have them abandoning me with hopes of someone shooting me either. I turned in my notice the next morning and did not give any reason for leaving the force. I made a few friends and a few enemies while being a Key Stone Cop even though the friends were the public and the enemies were the other cops but sometimes it turns out that way. One thing that They could not say about me was that when a back up was needed for them, I was not ever late, quite the opposite, I was always there to lend my aid to anyone who asked for it and I was usually the first one on the scene.
After leaving the police department, I finished school and continued working with snakes and am in semi retirement now. I found I could depend upon a snake where a human will always disappoint you and do the unexpected leaving you scratching your head in wonder.

Disney Princess - Belle Character Guide
Belle, the fictional character in Walt Disney's 1991 animated classic "Beauty and the Beast" is one Disney's official Princesses. She is very charming and yet such a free spirited girl. Please allow me to share some interesting and little known facts about Princess Belle with you.
There are 2 followup direct to Disc sequels to Beauty and the Beast in which Belle also stars. They are "Beauty and the Beast; The enchanted Christmas" and "Beauty and the Beast; Belle's Magical World"
Did you know that Belle makes a Cameo appearance in Disney's 1996 animated movie "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"?
When Disney animators were bringing the Belle Character to life they actually hired an actress (Sherri Stoner) as a live action model to act out various scenes that were planned in the movie. This allowed the Belle animators to gain inspiration from Stoner's mannerisms and actions. Often when 2 or more animated Characters appear in a scene together they are drawn by separate animators. Sometime those animators are not together as they drawn the scenes. It's only later that the characters and background are merged to form a complete scene.
The outfit that Belle wears the most in Beauty and the Beast is a blue peasant dress with a white blouse. Her outfit also has a white apron on the front. While many believe that the idea for Belle's outfit was from Dorothy's dress from The Wizard of Oz, it was actually created from the dress that Julie Andrews wore in The Sound of Music. The Dress that Belle is most famous for and the one she is portrayed the most in is the Golden yellow ball gown. While Belle only wears this during the Ballroom sequence with the beast, this is by far her most elegant outfit.
Belle is one of the meetable and greet-able princess characters at the Walt Disney theme parks. Most likely she will be wearing her yellow Ball gown when you meet her inside the parks.
The voice of Belle in Beauty and the Beast is from the talent of actress Paige O'Hara (born Donna Paige Helmintoller). O'Hara brings Belle to life like no other actress could. It is difficult to imagine but Belle's voice was actually played by another Actress, Jodi Benson, for the DVD movie "House of Mouse". Benson did the best she could but nothing compares to Belle's original voice. Of course Robby Benson as the Voice of BEAST is irreplaceable too.
In the 2002 Special Edition of Beauty and the Beast there is 6 more minutes of scenes to see Belle in that were not apart of the original Movie release. This includes the scene of Belle reading to the Beast from Romeo and Juliet.
Belle has truly captured the hearts and imaginations of many of fans and has earned her place in history as one of the great Disney Princesses.

Movie Review - A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas (2011) (R)
Oh Great, Now a Toddler Has to Get Stoned?
Has it come to this? A 3D stoner comedy? A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas spends almost all of its eighty-nine minutes shoving this process down our throats, as if we didn't already know it was nothing more than a gimmick concocted by fad-frenzied filmmakers. In the course of this movie, we will have to watch as eggs, a ping pong ball, human fists, a claymation penis, a cane that shoots confetti, a winking baby Jesus manger doll, broken glass, a charred Christmas tree, blood, a gigantic joint, and of course, marijuana smoke assault our field of vision as they come flying off of the screen. We will also see freeze-frame shots of a tooth, which came from the mouth of a man getting punched across the jaw, and semen in mid-ejaculation. I wonder: Do you have to be high to laugh at this?
Here is a bad movie made even worse by the fact that it simply didn't need to be. 2004's Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle was irreverent, raunchy, and insane, but because the filmmakers actually worked to make the characters and the plot engaging, it had a certain wacky charm. The same cannot be said about 2008's Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, which was more scatological and reached way, way too far as a satire of racism, terrorism, intolerance, and patriotism. Now that we've reached the third chapter in the series, what was initially amusing has devolved into an awkward mix between contrived sentimentality and pure juvenile goofiness. There's nothing innately humorous about Santa getting shot in the head before smoking from a candy-striped bong. And I don't care how much of a prude you think I am - under no circumstances is it funny for a toddler to get high on pot, cocaine, and ecstasy. Absolutely no circumstances.
It has been two years since Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) have last seen or spoken to each other. The former has since gotten married to the love of his life, Maria (Paula Garces), has moved into the suburbs, and has abstained from pot in the hopes of having a baby. The latter has dropped out of medical school and spends all day in his filthy apartment getting stoned. It's precisely because of this that he has been dumped by his girlfriend, Vanessa (Danneel Ackles). She is not, however, out of the picture, and of that, I will say no more. On Christmas Eve, Kumar is delivered a mysterious package, although it's actually addressed to Harold. The two reunite, and then it becomes the same old, same old - just one disastrous thing leading to another.
The long and short of it is, Harold accidentally burns down a Christmas tree provided by his father-in-law (Danny Trejo), who, along with the rest of the extended family, is visiting Maria for the weekend. He loves Christmas, but like all fathers-in-law in movies like this, he thinks Harold isn't good enough for his daughter. Anyway, while Maria and her family are away at Evening Mass, Harold and Kumar frantically search the city for a replacement Christmas tree. Along the way, they will cross paths with Ukrainian gangsters, drink spiked eggnog and have a Rankin/Bass claymation hallucination, and stitch up a blood-spurting hole in Santa's head after Harold accidentally shoots him out of the sky. Oh, and they will have another unlikely run in with Neil Patrick Harris, now the star of a Christmas stage show.
But wait a minute. Wasn't Harris shot to death at a Texas brothel after branding one of the prostitutes? See for yourself how he got out of that one. Anyway, we learn that he remains an egotistical, drugged-out sex maniac. And that whole gay thing? Merely a front - a way to feed into his addiction to women and crack, however the hell that's supposed to work. He shares one scene with his real life partner David Burtka, who, according to the film, is just as straight as Harris and has a wife and children. I at one time wondered how the filmmakers would continue this running gag, although now that I've actually seen it unfold, I find that it didn't much matter; it would have been a tired joke no matter what direction the writers took it in.
When we're not watching the title characters go on their desperate escapade, we're enduring frivolous subplots, most notably the relationship between Kumar and Vanessa. The others involve broad caricatures, including Kumar's sex-starved friend, Adrian (Amir Blumenfeld), and Harold's friend, Todd (Tom Lennon), who constantly looks like an idiot because he censors himself. He carries around his infant daughter, who ends up being exposed to not one but three types of drugs and is at one point so wired that she crawls around the ceiling at breakneck speed. This must have been a sadistic urge on the part of the filmmakers, one that should have been suppressed. A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is an unfortunate example of quantity over quality. It's a franchise pusher, an unnecessary sequel to a movie that was decent enough to stand on its own.

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle Review
Although I stay absolutely clean of all substances, I can appreciate a good stoner movie. The stoner film genre has been a part of Hollywood for a very long time. It has its own niche and has seen some highly memorable films come from it. The films in this genre also tend to be buddy movies as well. I guess both of those things put together will allow for the comedic situations to really take flight. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle is no different in that sense and happens to be one of my personal favorites.
After a night of smoking "cigarettes", Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) get the strong urge to eat for some odd reason. Not only do they want something to fill their stomachs, but they want something specific. White Castle burgers are what they want and that's what they're determined to get. Not being able to find a White Castle is the first problem they run into. While they decide to do everything they can to find one of these restaurants, they run into even more issues that will send them on a very wild and crazy night across New Jersey.
When it comes to Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, it appears to have a smart and knowledgeable script behind it. This movie takes a look at some real issues such as bullying (before it became the "in thing" to stand up against), racism and racial stereotypes. Not only that, but it does it in a comedic way that flows well within the structure of the movie and its overlying plot. All of this is seen or experienced through the eyes of the film's two antagonists that are played by Kal Penn and John Cho.
Penn and Cho make a great pairing in this movie. Their characters are best friends, but polar opposites in several ways. In Cho's character Harold, we have a straight-laced, prudent and responsible stoner who comes off as a pushover and is always about getting work done. As a Korean-American he fits certain Asian stereotypes, but wants to avoid some of the others out there. We also have Penn's character Kumar, who is the careless wild man stoner of the two that may not be living up to his potential. His father and brother are both doctors and seem to fit some of the Indian stereotypes, but Kumar doesn't want any of it. For the record, I know that Indians are considered Asian, but sometimes they have their own stereotypes separate from other Asians.
Using these two central characters, the movie is able to focus and make fun of a lot of racial beliefs and stereotypes that exists in society. Being a movie that's about pot heads trying to get to White Castle, it ends up developing into and being about much more than that. It takes an odd approach that utilizes several people in a comedic fashion to tell a diverse story. It even includes Neil Patrick Harris, who plays a horny and drug obsessed straight version of himself and he undoubtedly leaves his own mark on the film.
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle is a crazy yet sensible movie where nothing feels as if it's out-of-place. Being a Black man, I can tell you a lot about stereotypes. Some are good, some are bad, some are completely offensive and some are just so stupid to the point that they're funny. You get these things thrown at you from everywhere and that's one of the things that this film talks about. It manages to fit these issues in with loads of comedy and a quest to satisfy the munchies of two friends that will lead them on a wild night that's filled with adventures, misadventures and life lessons.

Good Comedy Movies
Good comedy movies can lift your spirits after a tough week, and there's even scientific evidence to suggest a link between laughter with improved health. While I'm no Patch Adams, I do care about the well-being of my readers, so that's why I've put together this list of 12 good comedy movies that might otherwise go unnoticed. A few modern comedy classics are included, but you'll also find foreign comedies, cult comedies, and even classic comedies.
Groundhog Day (1993) - Phil Connors (Bill Murray) is a misanthropic television weatherman who's unhappy about having to cover the annual Groundhog Day ceremonies in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. But imagine his surprise when a blizzard strands him in the small town, and Phil suddenly finds himself living the same day over and over. Murray is perfect as the wisecracking jerk who slowly finds redemption, and Andie MacDowell makes a beautiful love interest.
The Princess Bride (1987) - Framed as a fairy tale read by a grandfather (Peter Falk) to his sick grandson (Fred Savage), The Princess Bride tells the story of Westley (Cary Elwes), a farmhand who tries to reunite with his true love, Buttercup (Robin Wright), after being presumed dead. But Buttercup is in the clutches of the wicked Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon), and so Westley must seek help from the massive Fezzik (Andre the Giant) and a Spaniard named Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin). A wonderful comedy for all ages, it also features plenty of romance, fantasy, and action.
Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) - Cary Grant plays Mortimer Brewster, a newlywed who learns that his aunts and brother are completely insane. The two aunts have been poisoning elderly bachelors and burying them in the basement, and Mortimer's brother is convinced that he's Teddy Roosevelt. But things get even more complicated for Mortimer when his other brother, Jonathan (Raymond Massey), arrives. As it turns out, Jonathan is completely psychotic, and he's soon plotting to kill the only stable member of the family. Despite the gruesome nature of the crimes committed, the film is a comedy (and a darn good one at that).
The Perfect Crime (2004) - A black comedy from Spain, The Perfect Crime follows Rafael (Guillermo Toledo), a department store salesman bucking for a promotion. He's also slept with every woman in his department expect one: the homely Lourdes (Monica Cervera). But when an accident suddenly produces a fresh corpse, Rafael finds himself in debt to Lourdes, and she intends to collect...with a vengeance.
The Big Lebowski (1998) - If you'd like to experience what's been called "the first cult film of the Internet era," then be sure to watch this slacker comedy from Joel and Ethan Coen. Jeff Bridges stars as The Dude, a stoner who's mistaken for a millionaire with the same name and drawn into a web of intrigue. Hardcore fans attend an annual celebration known as Lebowski Fest, and the film is chock-full of quotable dialogue. Also starring John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Sam Elliott.
The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) - Before Airplane! and the Naked Gun films, writers Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker created this zany sketch comedy film that parodies everything from educational films to kung-fu flicks. The unusual cast includes Bill Bixby, Tony Dow, Donald Sutherland, and George Lazenby. Directed by John Landis, who would later helm successful comedies such as National Lampoon's Animal House, Trading Places, and Three Amigos.
Hollywood Shuffle (1987) - Robert Townsend directed, produced, co-wrote, and stars in this tale of an actor struggling to make it big in Hollywood. Filled with humorous daydreams and spoofs lampooning the stereotypical roles often given to minorities, the film was paid for with Townsend's credit cards. A number of future stars make appearances, including Keenan Ivory Wayans and Damon Wayans.
The Kid (1921) - The Tramp (Charlie Chaplin) takes in an abandoned child (Jackie Coogan), cares for him, and teaches him the finer points of being a con-man. But when welfare workers try to separate the duo, the Tramp is willing to do whatever it takes to be reunited. As with most classic comedies from Chaplin, the film mixes laughs with moments of sadness and social commentary. It's a silent film, by the way, but don't let that stop you from experiencing the magic of Chaplin.
Cabin Boy (1994) - Former David Letterman writer Chris Elliott stars as Nathaniel Mayweather, the arrogant heir to a hotel empire. Seeking to board the Queen Catherine to Hawaii, he instead stumbles onto a dilapidated fishing vessel named The Filthy Whore. Now stranded on the sea with an unhappy crew (including Brian Doyle-Murray and James Gammon), Nathaniel must earn his keep and contend with all the dangers of Hell's Bucket, including a jealous giant (Mike Starr), an iceberg monster, and a cupcake that likes to spit tobacco. While it's a bizarre comedy, it should be perfect for those whose taste in humor is unconventional.
EuroTrip (2004) - After finding out that his longtime pen pal is actually a beautiful girl, recent high school graduate Scotty Thomas (Scott Mechlowicz) heads off to Germany to make things right. He's joined by three other pals (including Michelle Trachtenberg), and their adventures include soccer hooligans, amorous Italians, and a nude beach filled with only men. Watch for Matt Damon in a cameo as the lead singer of a band.
Soapdish (1991) - The plotlines of soap operas are funny enough on their own, but this film raises the ante by taking a look behind the scenes of the fictitious The Sun Also Sets. The all-star cast includes Sally Field, Robert Downey Jr., Kevin Kline, Whoopi Goldberg, Teri Hatcher, and Elizabeth Shue.
The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (1972) - Remade in America as The Man with One Red Shoe (starring Tom Hanks), this French comedy classic stars Pierre Richard as Francois Perrin, a hapless violinist who gets caught up in the power struggle between two members of the French secret service. Filled with slapstick comedy, action, and a liberal dash of French eroticism.
