I'll try both; he's just so much fun to look at. He was Pistol in the Olivier version of Henry V, though I didn't really go for his interpretation--he seemed trying too hard to be funny. (Speaking of which, that movie also had Ernest Thesiger as the Dude Who Brings The Tennis-Balls. All thirty seconds of his screen time were excellent.) I'm curious what you thought of Robert Newton as Long John Silver, too.
Aha! Niagara isn't by Hitchcock; it's probably just beside the Hitchcock films on the shelf at my friendly little rental. (By the way, they have a poster on the wall at the video store. It shows a large tattooed construction worker and a very conformist-looking teenager standing at the counter in a video store, saying in unison, "But don't you have any Fellini, Bergman or Kurosawa?!") Sabotage was forgettable, frankly (and I can't recommend Niagara either, though that's not the issue in hand. It did have Marilyn Monroe, but all she did was stand around and be zaftig).
And, my gosh, I walk right by The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp whenever I go in that store. Thank you! I'll check it out sometime. You speak so highly of A Canterbury Tale that I want to seek it out. I guess I just wasn't that into old movies, back in 2007. (I don't know what was wrong with me, but I'm better now.)
