The most enjoyable movie of all time
According to the Internet Movie Database, it's this:
Or at least the 1913 version-- nine were made between 1897-1931. They were all based on a play known for its famous line, shown in the above poster: "Father, dear father, come home with me now."
No video version of it is known to exist, which made what happened on imdb a few months ago even stranger. Users began noticing that no matter what they were looking up, in the "Recommended" section would be this 94-year-old short feature. Some of the recommendations were downright bizarre (and probably not safe for work).
The imdb finally fixed it, and Ten Nights in a Bar Room has sunk back into obscurity. But thanks to the power of the repeated title, I now can't wait to see it-- calling Criterion!
From the 1931 version-- it looks pretty enjoyable, too
