 Gimme & the wife some good movie/show suggestions. 

We like historical fiction & comedies 

U help, I zap 
 A bit heavy but if you have not seen The King on Netflix, it's an excellent historical fiction  
 I’ve probably watch The King 5 times and it is fucking brilliant. 
 I’ll third this motion 
 Comedy: KillTony (you can find the episodes on YouTube) 
 I love kill Tony, kinda stopped watching after the whole Rick Diaz & Hans Kim debacle 
 I haven’t watched since around then either but heard it’s even better than before.  I need to get caught up! 🦀 
 For sheer silliness, "Amazon Women On The Moon" 1987

A masterpiece dark comedy is "Dr. Strangelove of: How I Learned To Quit Worrying And Love The Bomb" 1964

Moby Dick 1956

Rob Roy 1995

Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead (somewhat intelligent comdedy 😉)

 
 Tom Sawyer - 1938 and Huckelberry Finn - 1938 
 Depending how you feel about subtitles or if your French is good La Grande Séduction is a good comedy. The English remake is also good The Grand Seduction. The English remake is different in setting but the basics are the same. 
 BBC Scotland’s Still Game. Your Welcome 
 SuperTroopers 
 I used to love supertroopers, you kinda look like one of them with that stach 
 Idiocracy
