What a lovely thread.
I posted my opinions on Laurel and Hardy on DS shortly before I got banned - in short they were by far the greatest comedy due by light years and their films are still as fresh, funny and touching today as when they were first made.
I have not had time to look at all the links so forgive me if this has already been posted.
As a horror fan I just love it.

How many of today's comedians will still be funny in the 22nd century?
Stan and Ollie will be forever.
