Some Like it Hot

A Truly Funny Classic:

Most old comedies were funny at the time of their release, but don't get to many laughs now days. Some Like it Hot, however, has stood the test of time. It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen!

Most of the funny lines come from the screen goddess Marilyn Monroe in perhaps her most famous role, but there not the typical old comedy lines. They're sexual jokes! (Note: This movie was not approved by the Hay's Code but was released anyway, which is probably why we find it funny!)

So here's the story: After witnessing a mob hit, two musicians are forced to flee the state in an all female band disguised as women, but further complications set in.

Well, My only criticism is that it's a bit slow at first but really picks up once Marilyn comes into the picture to make up for it.

Some Like it Hot is a true classic and still on funny movies out out there. You should definitely buy it.
