The Court Jester

They totally don't make movies like this anymore. Hilarious without resorting to any crude or crass jokes. Smart and witty. And of course some amazingly talented actors and actresses who actually play the part and not just get paid to look pretty. I cannot recommend it enough! Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to go willow waley it away!
