I would go with Montey Pythons Holy Grail, Austin Powers series, and Super Troopers. Super Troopers was one of those "funny cause it's stupid" movies.

Right this moment
Dogma for the way it rips into classic religion.
Dr Strangelove....need I say more?

Dogma was ok. I only found a couple of parts funny.

The movie that defined a decade....

Ferris Beuler's Day Off.

LEISURE RULES!!!

My roommate has that poster on the wall above his bed. I see it every morning when I wake up.

My picks would be Kelly's Heroes, Monty Python's Holy Grail, and Christmas Vacation.

Where to start? Do we go with Oldies like Some like it Hot, Operation Petticoat, Calamity Jane, Sleeper, Cat ballou, Duck Soup, Pink Panther/ Strikes again/ Shot in the dark/Return of, Murder by Death, Strangelove, Holy grail, Life of Brian, Young Frankenstein.

Or do we just do the more modern stuff? Kevin Smith films, Ghostbusters, Dead men don't wear Plaid, The Man with two brains, The Mask, The Addams Family, American pie, Scary Movie.

And tht's just off the top of my head. There are far too many good Comedy films to ever have a favourite. Well in my case anyway.

Damn Rob! You've got a library in your head?

I love comedies. Could you guess?

Just about any Monty Python movie, any Mel Brooks movie, Ferris Bulers Day Off, Airplane!, and Top-Secret! (Which is, by the way, the best Val Kilmer movie ever.)

The Submarine magnet is excellent, and remember "he's no Mel Tormet!"

What did you all think of Kung Pow? Stupidest assiest movie ever or what? I laughed at a little bit of it but it was just STUPID!

Monty Python's Holy Grail
Spys Like Us
Time Bandits ( not really a comedy but still funny )

Blazing Saddles and Silence of the Lambs.


Seriously, Blazing Saddles is the best damn comedy ever made. There are a lot of great ones, but to pick one, well....there you have it.


And not so seriously, my Buffalo Bill impersonation has gotten a lot of mileage over the years.

*heh* Yeah, that was funny, but that's only Val's best comedy. HIs best movie ever is WIllow.

Oh Rob, I love your oldies list. Operation Petticoat is one of my all time favorites! And you're right. There are WAY to many comedies to name.

Addition to your modern list: Hudson Hawk.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie

Classic Movies: Buck Privates
70's: Airplane!, Life of Brian, Smokey and the Bandit
80's: Better off Dead, Naked Gun
90's: Toy Story, Showgirls, Clerks
00's: Jay and Silent Bob

Dirty Work.

All Monty Python.
All "View Askew" films.
*edit* All Mel Brooks films */edit*
Dr Strangelove.
Super Troopers.
Get Over It.
Spies Like Us.
Better Off Dead.
Airplane!

More, but I can't be bothered listing them.

Clerks
Ghostbusters
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Back to the Future (Part I)
Dr. Strangelove
Used Cars
Pulp Fiction (not technically a comedy, but still hilarious)

can't think of any other right now...

Support your Local Sherrif!

I keep meaning to see the sequel.

Some Like it hot

No contest.

Real Genius...and a whole slew that has been metioned earlier....need coffee

Mel Brooks flicks (especially Spaceballs and Young Frankenstein), Airplane!, Kevin Smith movies (esp. J&SBSB), Monty Python (NI!), PCU...among many many others.

Mel Brooks movies, Mall Rats, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Airplane, The Naked Gun, Animal House, UHF (I think thats it, the one with Wierd Al), and... Star Trek Nemisis... (it was just one big joke movie... right?)... thats all I can think of now

'Some Like It Hot' and 'What's Up Doc?' are amazing classic comedies.

Peter Sellers in A Shot In The Dark or Murder By Death fits in the golden age of color.

For more modern 'throwaway' comedies, I love MST3K: the Movie and 'Roxanne' with Steve Martin, which will always be one of my favorite movies.

However, the Lagmonster Award for Best Comedy You Never Heard Of goes to 'Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human'.
