This movie is like the old movies of bygone eras where it’s comedy mixed with history. It’s rather stupid, but GB’s character will leave you crying tears of happiness at the end.
So these are currently five I recommend watching. The first three are amazing and will make you cry in some context as they did me. And if you love seeing GB getting naked, he does in most of his movies, and fuck, does he look good!
