Tati the silent genious
As a child, I never could see anything funny in the films of Jacques Tati. Later in life I stumbled across the sublime La Jour da Fete and suddenly this man's genius dawned on me.
Whilst this film remains my firm favourite, Mon Oncle runs a very close second. I have a number of friends today, who handle modern technology with the hilarious awkwardness of "mon oncle".
Watch this film and you will have the smile of someone whose cheeks are stuffed with marshmallows.

Film Description
Tati's gentle satire of sterile modernity and pretentious gadgetry in which his M. Hulot introduces elements of confusion into the Arpels' well-ordered lives, house and factory. There is a wealth of visual riches on display in this exercise in 'democratic comedy', which gives dogs in the street the same comic status as its star.
