   • 'Ace in the Hole' (1951) Starring: Kirk Douglas, Jan Sterling, Robert Arthur. Ace in the Hole is a movie that shows how movies can be satirical without necessarily also being comedies.
   • 'Stalag 17' (1953) Starring: Robert Strauss, William Holden, Don Taylor. While Stalag 17 is, on the surface, a movie about prisoners of war, it does manage to be surprisingly funny for a film within such a genre.
   • 'Irma la Douce' (1963) Starring: Shirley MacLaine, Jack Lemmon, Lou Jacobi. Shortly after the immensely successful The Apartment, Billy Wilder, Jack Lemmon, and Shirley MacLaine re-teamed to make the good – yet not quite as great – Irma la Douce three years on from that aforementioned Oscar winner.
