So:
1. The Marx Brothers! Any of the 7 greats: Animal crackers... Coconuts... Horsefeathers... Monkey Business... Duck Soup... A Night at the Opera... A Day at the Races. Plus, for a 3-minute taste: Google-up "Lydia the tattooed Lady".
2. Charlie Chaplin, Modern Times. Arguably the best movie ever made. Plus, it's pro-Labor. And it's funny!!
3. Annie Hall... because it's on everyone's list.
4. Bananas... and/or Sleeper (they ard very similar... ).
Note: each of these are certified Democrats, or even worse. Harpo Marx worked for the FDR campaign. Charlie was blacklisted. Woody made a film tribute to blacklisted stars, "The Front", in which every actor (except Woody, who was too young) had been blacklisted in real life.
OK. One to go. So I'm indulging my sappy side...
5. Mary Poppins.
... which taught an entire generation to give to charity and to be suspicious of bankers.
