Answers:
Airplane!
Tom Jones
Committed
After the Fox
Blazing Saddles
Sixteen Candles
Richard III (1955)
The Pirate Movie
How I Won the War
Home Alone~I think!.!.!.
Alfie~both versions I think
The Secret Life of an American Wife
Mr!. Blandings Builds His Dream House
Fallen (1998)~We hear Denzel Washington narrating/talking to us throughout the film, but it turns out to be a trick! "I wanna tell you about the time I almost died!."
Sunset Boulevard~I'm not sure if this counts, but the deceased Joe Gillis (William Holden) addresses the audience throughout!. It really isn't a simple narration!.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum~Zero Mostel in particular speaks to the audience throughout!.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service~I LOVE when George Lazenby turns to the camera and tells us, "This never happened to the other fellow!." It was a wonderful way to transition from one James Bond to the other!.
The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956)~Throughout the film, Marlon Brando's Okinawan interpreter addresses the audience!.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)~Miles (Kevin McCarthy) yells, "YOU'RE NEXT!" straight at the camera lense!. In fact, that's what they considered having as the last frame in the film!.
Shirley Valentine (1989)~The funniest line for me is when the handsome man is romancing her and she looks at the camera and says, "He kissed me stretchmarks!" *giggle*
Horse Feathers~Professor Wagstaff (Groucho Marx) says, "I've got to stay here, but there's no reason why you folks shouldn't go out into the lobby until this thing to blows over!." In fact, Groucho often spoke to the audience, didn't he!?
I think that Mel Brooks does that a lot in his comedies!. I seem to recall Marty Feldman talking to us in "Young Frankenstein"!. I haven't seen his films for many years, so I can't list other titles unless I'm certain!.
also, I think that Bob Hope and Bing Crosby did it in their "Road" pictures!. In his solo films, Bob Hope in particular often threw comments at the movie audience, as did Red Skelton!. Again, I can't specify movies since I can't bring to mind a specific moment!. I'm sure that Lou Costello also "broke the fourth wall", as they call it!. I wish that I could recall more examples!
I keep thinking that Captain Jack Sparrow addresses us at some point, but I can't be certain!. With him, it's difficult to know when he's talking to himself!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
