Poll question: Funniest Movie Ever!
As they say, "laughter is the best medicine." So, which of these movies is like sweet, sweet morphine to you?

1. Quest for the Holy Grail
Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 12:42 PM by sirjwtheblack
On edit: My attention span for bad movies is minimal, so I don't share the humor of watching atrocious cinema. MST3K did it right though.

3. "New Jack City"
"Gentlemen, let's sit down and have a diatribe."

Or something like that. How did this line make it past everyone and onto the screen?

5. Darkest Knight.
A REALLY BAD new Zealand take on the medieval Ivanhoe stories.

How can ya' NOT love a movie where a character utters the line, "Burnt! Friar Bacon!"

"Airport 1975" is a true comic masterpiece.
This is the one with Karen Black as the stewardess who has to fly the damaged 747 in (with help from Chuck Heston), Linda Blair as the little girl who needs a kidney transplant (and being the "beneficiary" of Sister Helen Reddy singing to her). AND Gloria Swanson, playing herself, looking like a warmed over corpse.

Unintentionally hilarious!

21. Laughed my ass off in the theater watching the Exorcist
when it first came out. People were shouting at the screen, crying and puking while I got a hernia from non-stop laughter. I was 10 yrs. old. :7

41. Oh sure, "Seventh Seal" is decent early slapstick, but...
I guess you're not hip to Bergman's later, much more hilarious "Haw-Haw Trilogy": "Through A Glass Darkly," "The Silence," and "Shame."

Man, I'm bustin' a nut just thinking about 'em! When that little kid pisses in the hall? When that parachuter gets caught in that tree? When that dude's talking to the priest about God?

A-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!

15. There is also something to be said for "Ordinary People"
Who DIDN'T crack-up when Timothy Hutton turns to Donald Sutherland and yells "Give her the goddammed camera!"?
