Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very enjoyable Laurel and Hardy silents
The above-average Volume Eight of THE LOST [SILENT] FILMS OF LAUREL AND HARDY has two of the funniest shorts the men ever made, TWO TARS and FROM SOUP TO NUTS (both 1928). In TWO TARS, they play two sailors out for a Sunday drive with two pretty women. They get involved in the greatest and funniest traffic jam in movie history, with everyone tearing apart pieces of everyone else's car. And FROM SOUP TO NUTS has Laurel and Hardy as klutzy waiters for a fancy mansion dinner, with hilarious ... Read More
Rating: - A piece of happiness
Every piece of those two guys work is only pleasure. I discovered them when I was 5 and now, more than 50 years later, they still make me laugh like a child.
Rating: - Silent Classics From Stan and Ollie
A trio of classic Laurel and Hardy two-reelers highlight Volume 8 in "The Lost Films" series. "Two Tars" (1928), "The Second Hundred Years" (1927) and "From Soup to Nuts" (1928) remain masterpieces of comic invention and timing. The 35mm prints are very good, but the public-domain musical accompaniment becomes terribly repetitive. The remaining shorts in this collection - the embryonic "Slipping Wives" (1926) and two Laurel solo efforts, "Scorching Sands" (1923) and "Should Tall Men Marry?" (1927) ... Read More
Rating: - Best in Series
This volume is one of the best of the "lost silent films" collection, comprised of three solid performances from 1928 that illustrate the diversity and sophistication of Laurel and Hardy's comic style. Two Tars implements the vintage L&H formula of orchestrated chaos (repeated in Your Darn Tootin, Big Business, and many other films) to perfection. Two Tars has an appealing breeziness that results from the story's premise: the boys are seamen on leave egged on to perform "senseless acts of violence" ... Read More
Rating:  - Contains some of their funniest
This disc showcases some of Laurel and Hardy's funniest and best silent shorts, and I also found there was more variety in the backing music than in some of the other discs in this series. 'From Soup to Nuts' is hands-down the best and funniest one on here, their funniest silent short I've seen so far. Part of what makes their sound shorts so funny is the fact that their voices just totally matched their personalities and physical appearance, adding to already funny situations, but in 'From Soup to Nuts' ...
