   Well, I'd say DON'T start with "Way Out West," since that includes a reference   
   to "It Happened One Night" that no one will get without seeing the latter   
   first. (Of course, IHON is not a Laurel & Hardy movie!)   
      
   You can't go wrong with "When Comedy Was King," which you can see here. (It   
   includes "Big Business.")

   I mentioned it up-thread.   
      
   Granted, one may prefer to see the first compilation first - "The Golden Age   
   of Comedy" (1957), which includes "You're Darn Tootin' " and "Two Tars."

   And this is "30 Years of Fun" - which I thought was the third compilation, but   
   one person says it's the fourth!
