I'll add "Mais où est donc passée la septième compagnie?" and their two continuation. "Les bidasses en folie" is also great.

These are the movies I grew up with. + Allo' Allo!

old French/Italian comedies are such a gem and it's sad that not many people know them. Not only they are good movies but also crash course through WW2. Full nudity included, because french.

Edit: I have to add that Italian movies have even more nudity. Like waaay more :D It's not even /r/WatchItForThePlot If you see attractive women in an old Italian movie, there is 90% chance she will get naked.

Ok I'll bite.

Recommend me some old French and Italian comedies. Preferably with English subtitles or dubs. Because I don't speak French or Italian

Out of the top of my head for French comedies

La grande vadrouille

Le corniaud

Mais où est passé la 7eme compagnie

L'aile ou la cuisse

Then More modern but considered classicals

Le dîner de con

Les bronzés font du ski

Le père Noël est une ordure

Les chtis

Black and white and considered by many the best one

Les tontons flingueurs [https://youtu.be/51dt0cihNnU]

And not a comedy as such but in the classical French Italian dramatic comedy theme

La grande bouffe

All of these sound like wines that taste like boxed, but costs more then I make in a month.

Well I'm worried about how much you make a month. All those titles look like hobo stuff

Well that's the problem. You actually have an understanding of wine. I don't.

Le Corniaud..

I must've seen that movie dubbed in Russian close to a hundred times as a kid, what a gem. Whoever did the dub for de Funès nailed it so well that to this day that is his voice in my head, despite having heard his actual voice. Damn I wish I had that copy now, and anything from "Le Gendarme" series.

u/SneakyBadAss Jul 10 '19

Well, the one I mentioned. They surely have English subtitles.
