Still funny.......2007-01-31

Some people think this stuff is silly, but it always makes me laugh. I am starting a dvd collection of varioius movies and old tv shows, this is the perfect addition. Works out to about 5 dollars an episode, can't beat that.
I would like to collect all of them, the ones with Shemp Too!

Good value.......2007-01-19

The DVD's aren't the same quality as something that was filmed 2007 but for 1940's film it is great and very enjoyable to watch.

The Stooges at their best !!.......2007-01-16

I loved the Curly Classics, A plumbing we will go, and Micro-phonies, and men in black are the best, and the others are great too

In Micro-Phonies when the Stooges flip the cherries into the man mouth, it gets me every time, I fall over with laughter !!

And a Plumbing we will go, this is just a CLASSIC!

A nice collection!!.......2007-01-03

For the money, a very nice collection of authentic Stooge shorts! I remember watching these guys when I was a kid, and wanted to introduce my 4 & 6 year olds to the Stooge style of comedy - I was not disappointed with the results this set provided!! Most included shows feature Curly, a few with Shemp, which was my preference. If you enjoyed the Three Stooges when you were younger, this set will bring back lots of good memories!!

NOW APPEARING "THE THREE STOOGES" AT AMAZON.......2004-02-09

FIRST LET ME SAY THIS SET IS WORTHY OF 5 STARS.I ONLY GAVE IT 4 BECAUSE OF THE FORMAT AND NOT THE ACTUAL SHORTS.AFTER EACH SHORT IS DONE YOU HAVE TO RETURN TO THE MAIN MENU TO SELECT THE NEXT SHORT.THE SET IS A GREAT DEAL AT AMAZON'S PRICE.I JUST PURCHASED 4 OTHER STOOGE TITLES SEPARATELY AT OVER $100 SO THIS REALLY IS A BARGAIN.NOW AS FAR AS COLUMBIA AND THEIR RELEASE OF THE STOOGES.I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT THE DISCS ONLY HAVE 5-6 SHORTS ON THEM.WE ALL KNOW THAT A DVD CAN HOLD MORE THAN WHAT THEY HAVE PUT ON THEM,SO THIS REALLY IS ABOUT MAKING MORE MONEY FOR COLUMBIA AND GOUGING THE CONSUMER.IF WARNER CAN PUT OUT GILLIGAN'S ISLAND ON 3 DOUBLE SIDED DISCS WITH 36 EPISODES IN RUNNING ORDER, THAN COLUMBIA SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF DOING BETTER.I AM ANXIOUS TO SEE WHAT UNIVERSAL HAS DONE WITH ABBOTT AND COSTELLO,THEY HAVE A 2 DISC SET WITH 8 MOVIES FOR $22 COMING OUT.COLUMBIA SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF WHAT THE OTHERS ARE DOING AND GIVE US STOOGE FANS MORE FOR OUR MONEY!.

Product Description

Fun with The Three Stooges in six zany episodes:

A Plumbing We Will Go(1940): Three would-be plumbers mistake pipes filled with wires for water pipes. Dudley Dickerson's battle in the kitchen is a highlight.

Men In Black(1934): Medical malpractice is an understatement when describing what the Stooges do to the Los Arms Hospital, where they dispense unorthodox advice, flirt with the nurses and battle a babbling intercom system. With: Dell Henderson, Jeannie Roberts and Billy Gilbert.

Micro-phonies (1945): When Curly is mistaken for an opera diva, the Stooges find their calling on the stage as Senorita Cucaracha (Curly) and Senors Mucho and Gusto (Larry and Moe). With: Christine McIntyre, Symona Boniface and Gino Corrado.

Punch Drunks(1934): Larry's rendition of Pop Goes The Weasel transforms Curly from a harmless cream puff into a vicious contender, but when Larry's violin breaks, it threatens Curly's boxing career with a TKO. With: Dorothy Granger and Al Hill.

Three Little Pigskins (1934): When the Stooges are mistaken for star football players, they not only find themselves running for goals but running for their lives when they get mixed up with the gorgeous girlfriends of a group of mobsters. With: Lucille Ball, Gertie Green and Phyllis Crane.

Woman Haters(1934): When Larry breaks his oath to the Woman Haters Club by marrying, he is treated like a traitor by his fellow members. But getting out of the marriage may be even more harmful than anything his friends could ever do to him. The Stooges' first short was done entirely in rhyme. With: Marjorie White.

Hysterical Stooges.......2007-02-13

I got this for my kids. My 8-year-old watches it over and over. He loves Curly, even though he doesn't get all his dialogue and dialect humor. The Stooges were just plain funny.

Early Stooge Madness.......2006-08-23

The "Curly Classics" DVD focuses primarily on the Three Stooges' earliest Columbia two-reelers from 1934. Regardless of uneven material and revolving directors, Moe, Larry and Curly find their slapstick niche in "Punch Drunks," "Three Little Pigskins" and the Oscar-nominated "Men in Black." However, the highlights are two later releases that display the Stooges at full comic throttle: "A Plumbing We Will Go" (1940) and "Micro-Phonies" (1945). The weak link is "Woman Haters" -- a misguided "musical novelty" that emerged as the Stooges' inauspicious Columbia debut. "Curly Classics" remains an enjoyable compilation, but not the total knockout it should have been.

An interesting selection.......2006-03-03

Since the plots of these shorts have already been described by a number of other reviewers, I'll just give my opinions on them and on the DVD overall.

'Woman Haters' is one of those shorts that most fans either love or hate. I didn't care for it that much the first time I saw it, but I do agree that it does get a little better with repeated viewings. It probably would have been a better film if the entire thing hadn't been spoken in rhyme; that device gets old and tired after about a minute. Although I'm confused as to why it was seen fit to be included here. It's not really a Curly classic because Larry is the one who gets the most lines and the leading role!

'Punch Drunks' is a big step up and should have been the first short they released at Columbia. Though it's one of their very early ones, it has a great plot and lots of great comedy. Until about sometime in 1935, they didn't really have their formula down pat yet, but this is one of the early ones that shines and deserves to be called a classic.

I actually think 'Men in Black' is somewhat overrated. It's a really odd short, and there are moments of humor, but nothing I found really that hilarious. I fail to see why this would get an Oscar nomination and is considered by many people to be one of their best. The problem might be that the comedy style is all over the map, like they weren't yet sure what type of humor they wanted to do--verbal, physical, or just plain absurd humor. If this weren't one of their very first shorts, it probably wouldn't have such an important reputation. Although that doesn't mean I think it's one of their worst shorts (far from it).

'Three Little Pigskins,' their fourth short, is another of their very early classics, though taken in comparison to all of their other work, I wouldn't necessarily consider it one of their all-time classics. There's a good solid plot and lots of good humor, and I liked seeing the great character actor Walter Long and how the opening scene reflected the time period of the Great Depression. I also noticed that the middle section of this short borrows from the earlier 1928 Laurel and Hardy short 'We Faw Down.' Once again we see a lovely young lady's hat being blown off of her head and underneath a car, and when our hapless heroes go to retrieve it, they get soaked by a passing street sweeper and are invited back to the home of the woman and her friends. While they're waiting around for their clothes to dry and are wearing clothes given to them by the women, and flirting with them, the ladies' mobster boyfriends show up. The ending is kind of in media res, but everything that came before was so good it doesn't matter that much.

'Micro-Phonies' and 'A-Plumbing We Will Go' are bona fide classics and really deserve their place on this collection. They both have strong plots and lots of great slapstick. They were made at a point in their career when they had long developed their screen personalities and had been at their creative peak for some time.

Overall, this is a pretty good collection, but as aforementioned, I am curious as to why their first four shorts were included as Curly classics. At this point, he hadn't really perfected his screen persona yet (such as in how you can hear him talking in a voice closer to his real off-camera voice instead of the high-pitched baby-like voice he later developed), and you can also tell the other two hadn't gotten their own screen characters down pat either. It seems like it would have made more sense to have included shorts from a wider time range instead of having their first four shorts (all from 1934) and then having the other two be from 1940 and 1945. It's a little curious as to why some of these shorts were included on here, but generally speaking, it is a collection I would recommend getting.

Feel Good In Laughter.......2006-03-02

...Not much to say...just enjoy and have lots of laughs. The Stooges...they're the Best.No doubt; "sointly"!

Great Stooges.......2006-02-24

This is a great collection of Three Stooges shorts. It is rightly called "Curly Classics." "A Plumbing We Will Go" is probably my favorite three stooges short - the boys really make a mess of that house!

Little Boys Do Love Their Stooges!.......2007-04-05

I have to confess that I am not that much of a Stooges fan. Therefore, my opinion may not be very useful to those who are true fans. I will not even bother trying to critique the quality or entertainment value of these films. I will tell you that if you are considering this collection as a gift for a young boy, you simply cannot go wrong. My son is nine years old and definitely all boy and he absolutely adores the Three Stooges. He had a $50 gift certficate from Amazon and blew the whole wad on Stooges DVD's. This set was not a disappointment to him in any way! It was the best of the ones he ordered and he watches it again and again. The skits included in this collection are definitely classics and show the Stooges at the top of their form.

wooo wooo woooo.......2007-02-07

These are some of the most special of the three stooges shorts and some of my all time favorites. A plumbing we will go is the best short in stooges history, and the rest are in the best of catagory. I must warn you though, if you buy this set you will be incapacitated by laughter and side splitting comedy from the masters of slapstick.

Its Worth the Price! Highly recommended.......2006-02-01

I enjoyed watching the 3 The Three Stooges in good quility. I get Hours of fun with this plus it keep the kids laughing.
