You know how much I love Fields, Patti. My father first introduced me to THE FATAL GLASS OF BEER, and even though I'm terrible at making "top 10" lists, that would certainly rank somewhere near the very top. THE DENTIST is also a classic. Thanks for posting this!
Heh heh, what a classic! It's not something you'd want to watch before a trip to the dentist, though. Thankfully, dental procedures are a lot better in real life.

That's one of the all-time great shorts, along with "The Fatal Glass of Beer."

People don't appreciate him today--think he's mean--but It's A Gift" makes me laugh more than almost any movie.

That's probably his best but this was shorter to post. Many classic moments.
IT'S A GIFT is in my all-time top 10.
