The Ladykillers (1955)
There's comedies, and then there's Ealing comedies. This British black comedy about a motley crew of robbers planning a major heist, who rent a house from a seemingly harmless little old lady, is hilarious in its depiction of the British gentility of the lady, oblivious to the chaos surrounding her. Starring Alec Guinness, Cecil Parker, Herbert Lom, Peter Sellers, and the unforgettable Katie Johnson, The Ladykillers has been on many a "Best of..." list for generations.
