Father Goose is just so damned fucking tight - every question it begs is satisfied, even glancing relationships / interactions pay out, it’s got a cast of children that aren’t fuckin annoying, it’s got a drunk you feel sympathy for… that film hits on all cylinders.
-This is Spinal Tap
-The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (original Danny Kaye)
-Wonder Man
-Nearly any film starring Danny Kaye, really
-Most of the Thin Man movies
-Bringing Up Baby
-Father Goose
-Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House
Gosh there must be more but people have already added a lot of great ones, but I haven’t seen these commented yet.
Edit: thought of more
I thought Father Goose was an exceptionally good film - still a favourite of mine.
The scene where he slaps a woman to get her respect didn’t age well, but the rest is great.
