I just watched this yesterday.

It doesn't hold up as an epic or comedy anymore, I'm afraid.

Got spare money?

Yes, it's hard to classify any Comedy as an Epic. The definition would have to be tweaked.

Maybe,
It's a mad mad mad mad world. defined as an epic comedy.

I agree that the book is very good reading, but there are many reports saying you can classify under fiction .
Certain things are true, but he took credit for much 'stuff', that happened or was done by others (fellow prisoners, etc...).

A good book nonetheless...

I remember reading this book when I was in my early teens. I loved it, and wanted to get tattoos!

Titanic... holy c**p! More like a disaster of epic proportions.

The "academy" should colectively be dragged onto the street and shot for giving it oscars (exept the special efects one...).
