5 Favorite Comedies

My alarm didn’t go off today.  I forgot to put the coffee grains in the coffee maker, and thus made a pot of hot water.  My computer crashed, and my project  file will not OPEN; making it impossible to do the work I planned for today because I have to redo everything.  These things all happened to me before 8 this morning and have put me in a foul mood.  So instead of dwelling I decided to turn to comedy.  In my opinion there is nothing like a good comedy to change your mood; especially for days like the one I’m having today.   Anyway that’s what inspired me to write about some of my favorite comedies.

Here is a list of Five movies I am always in the mood to watch:

I picked these movies because they make me laugh just as hard now as they did the very first time I saw them.

I hope you like my picks; and feel free to comment on what your favorite comedies are.
