This one was a hoot. Peter Sellers was a treasure.

Saw that one at the Texas Theater on the Drag when it first came out. 
Saw Tom Jones with Albert Finney there too. 
Many of those ‘60s Brit films were pretty funny and a lot different than the usual Hollywood fare.

Major League is a god damned masterpiece. 

Yes it is.

Here’s a funny anecdote from a discussion I read elsewhere about the classic western film Cheyenne Autumn:

I'm told that Cheyenne Autumn is pretty good.. I have never seen it. It is based on a book by Marie Sandoz.

Cheyenne Autumn is a cult classic on the Navajo Reservation, and plays every weekend in Page… because, first of all everyone knows that Navajo actors look and speak nothing like Cheyenne, but mostly because they told the Navajo actors to just say “something” when they are told to speak in the movie, and the actors said some very insulting things (in Navajo)

In one of the scenes the General asks an interpreter to ask a scout about a recent raid, and the scout replies in Navajo to the interpreter that the General is an imbecile and has very small genitalia.

Everyone in the theater know the funny lines (in Navajo) and repeats them, much like The Rocky Horror Picture Picture Show.
