Ali Baba Bujang Lapok
''Ali Baba Bujang Lapok'' ("Ali Baba the Old Bachelor") is a 1961 Malay comedy film directed by, written by and starring Malaysian silver-screen legend P. Ramlee and produced in Singapore by Malay Film Productions Ltd. Based loosely on the story of Ali Baba from 1001 Arabian Nights, the film is occasionally self-referential and contains elements of anarchic comedy, burlesque comedy, satire and farce. The title includes the suffix ''Bujang Lapok'' because it is the third instalment in the '' Bujang Lapok'' series of comedy films that star the trio of P. Ramlee, S. Shamsuddin and Aziz Sattar. This film marked the feature film debut of Sarimah, who would go on to a long movie career, and is also notable as one of the few P. Ramlee films where he plays the villain.

Seniman Bujang Lapok
''Seniman Bujang Lapok'' (''The Three Worn Out Actor Bachelors'', also known in the film as ''The Nitwit Movie Stars'') is a 1961 Malay comedy film directed by P. Ramlee. It is the fourth instalment in the '' Bujang Lapok'' series of films, but the last to feature P. Ramlee, S. Shamsuddin and Aziz Sattar as the main trio of actors. However, it is not a direct sequel to the previous ''"Bujang Lapok"'' films, as there are no references to the events of the previous films. The film is a self-referential spoof of the Malay film industry of the late 1950s to early 1960s. The plot revolves around the main trio attempting to become actors and break into the film business, and hence features a fictionalised look at the behind-the-scenes process of Malay film-making during that time. The line between reality and fiction is blurred as real film industry places are used, real film sets of previous Malay films are used for the film-within-the-film, and all the featured actors use their real ...
