Sullivan’s Travels

Good pick for Preston Sturges, but don't forget "Hail the Conquering Hero" from 1944 with Eddie Bracken and his inimitable double-takes. It's consistently the funniest of Sturges' films.

It's hard for me to pick my favorite Sturges, but actually left out what may be my favorite, Palm Beach Story. But, I would have a hard time arguing that Hail the Conquering Hero, Miracle of Morgan's Creek, Sullivan's Travels, The Lady Eve, The Great McGinty, or Christmas in July were substantially less good. (Christmas in July may be less well known, but it works for me) I think having seven comedies in a row that were so outstanding is probably unprecedented by any director.
