Paris When It Sizzles 1964
You'll need to extract generious chunks of chest hair from your eyes and ears several times throughout, but the camp of this hirsute payche—erm, film—makes it a charming lazy Sunday pick. (It's also the relatively obscure origin of my decades-long euphemistic use of "Parcheesi.")

The film is the inspiration for my proposed "Curtis Method" of earning 3-5 seconds of valuable strategic planning time during chaotic melees scenes in film and IRL. Happy to outline for civilian filmmakers AND foreign intelligence agencies…
