Funniest Movies
 

Just curious what some of you consider a funny movie.
Not necessarily "THE" funniest.... just entertaining as all get out.

I just finished re-watching "Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion".
Love. It! It's incredibly simple and shallow.... but I love that! :laugh:

As for my first choice for a comedy, I'm more apt to go for the classics... Marx Bros., WC Fields, etc. :wavey:

South Park The Movie
9 to 5

Broadcast News

What's Up Doc? with Streisand and O'Neal is one of my fave comedies. Ever. It cracks my **** up everytime. :D

Anyway...some movies that make me laugh every time:

Strangely, of those, Fight Club is the one that makes me laugh till it hurts. :D :nod:

I'll add Dr. Strangelove to the list. Along with The Holy Grail (what kind of list is it without that?). And theres just something I find really funny about American Psycho and True Romance. :p :nod:

really...?? I never saw that one!!!:rolleyes:

Anything Christopher Guest
and "the Associate"
LOVE that movie. Love it. Laughs and warm happy holiday feelings. Dianne Wiest is sooo cute in it, and Bebe Neuwirth is great!

Sasja

LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie!

"Eunice? There's a person named Eunice?"

One of my all time favorites....and one of the first DVD's I got!

rbs

HIGH ANXIETY is probably my favorite comedy...true brilliance.
Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman and Harvey Corman...how happy can you be???? :shrug:

rbs

Somebody likes Pauly Shore...

Actually, I must go back and add "Encino Man" to my list as well. Love that one.

Burglar
Jumpin' Jack Flash

Something about Whoopi Goldberg's gratuitous dropping of the F bomb leaves me in stitches.

Perhaps my fave scene from a Ryan/Babs movie is from "The Main Event".
At the training camp dinner table, the guys are talking about mean hits they've taken and Babs (never one to be left out) shares her story of licking an envelope and getting a paper cut... it was very, very painful.

I used to love Babs work... comedies and her music.
Unfortunately, now she works my last nerve. :distress:

I DIE everytime I see Madeline Kahn gets out of her plaid Cadillac Seville in the matching plaid outfit --- and THOSE WHO ARE LATE GET NO FRUIT CUP :D

Makeline Khan is comedy. I wept when she died, and I haven't even seen all the movies she is in. I just knew we had lost an unequaled talent. I love when comediennes are pretty, too, because that gives them more range, more situations to play with.

CLASSIC SCENE!

"Vickie, who's that?"

"Why thats Daddy"

"Your daddy...is...the cocker?"

Love that movie...LOL

rbs

Grosse Point Blank.
Better off Dead.
Long rule John Cusack.

Gah!!

I saw the first scene (I think it's the first) a while back...and DIED...and I keep meaning to rent it...

It was in an airport..and this intense dude was like, "you...yoooouu..." and Mel Brooks is all freaked out....but the dude runs past or something...yeah I died...

Thought had forgotten about the movie until this thread! It's going on my official to-rent list asap!!


Oh and another funny fave of mine:

Pillow Talk!

This Is Spinal Tap
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
American Psycho
Pulp Fiction
Fight Club
9 to 5
Friday
Shrek 1 & 2
Toy Story
Finding Nemo
National Lampoon's Vacation
A Christmas Story

I (heart) me some Madeline!! :nod:
LOVED her in "Paper Moon".... another one of my all-time fave movies.

I forgot Waiting For Guffman.

"This little baby needs to go winky-tink" :D

rbs

Wedding Crashers made me laugh so hard I almost fell off the couch. The scene where Vince Vaughn is getting a surprise hand job at the dinner table had me in tears I was laughing so hard.
Oh, and pretty much anything with Christopher Guest. I can't wait to see his new one that's coming out. I can't think of the name right now.

^^

For Your Consideration...I can't wait for that one either, I'm so excited!

I agree with some of the movies listed. It's hard for me to think of funny movies, since I'm more into dramas and romance movies. However, Serial Mom comes to mind for one of the funniest movies I've seen.

Serial Mom is awesome! :nod:

I know! I want to see that too. Who can I bribe to see it with me? :laugh:

:wavey: :wavey:

'kay! And you'll have to come see Snow Cake with me, too, since you-know-who is a whore and won't call. :lol:

you were going to see SC with my mom? :confused: :shrug:

:laugh: No, this whore out-whores your mom by far.

i dunno ... my mom has ... social diseases.

:laugh:

:lol: Then they can compare notes!

Um, on topic: The South Park movie is endlessly hilarious.

heehee.

uh, that is 4tru.

i love wallace and gromit. :D
