Sleeper (1973)

Comedy features Woody Allen as Miles Monroe, the part owner of a New York health food store who is cryoniclly frozen after an unexpected complication from an ulcer operation. Miles wakes up 200 year later in 2173 when he is thawed by members of a resistance group hopping to 1) gain greater insights into a past that has been obscured by their authoritarian government and 2) use Miles, whose biometric identity is not known to the state, to infiltrate the governments mysterious "Aries Project". So there is some lite political satire to the film, as well a jokes pegged on the 22nd century humans not understanding Miles 20th century references, but the film is best known for Allen's Buster Keaton like physical comedy bits, particularly an extended sequence were he pretends to be a butler robot. Diane Keaton is also in the film as Allen's love interest. I'd twice tried to watch this movie before but once the library DVD copy was bad and I couldn't get more then 10 or so minutes into it, and the other time I was still a kid and had to leave for church shortly after it started, and my parents probably didn't want me watching that movie anyway. Sleeper is not as funny as I had hoped, but is still pretty amusing. ***
