Movie Maniacs (1936)
"Ain't I getting to look more and more like Barrymore?"

"Movie Maniacs" is a very good Three Stooges comedy starring Moe, Curly, and Larry. The boys aspire for a career in the motion picture business, which they soon learn is tough to get into, until the general manager of Carnation Pictures mistakes them for big-time studio executives.

My favorite scenes from "Movie Maniacs": Curly's wheat cake drops down from the ceiling and splats Moe in the face. Curly (in drag) jumps onto Larry's lap, breaking the chair underneath him. Larry and Curly stand behind an on-screen couple and give them puppet arms.

At the beginning of "Movie Maniacs", the Stooges acknowledge they know nothing about making pictures, but they think that their ideas can revolutionize the business. But in the end, when their real identities are discovered, Moe says, "I think our genius ain't appreciated here."
