[ruthg]

8. I love Spinal Tap I adore Airplane..

I would also add..

Duck Soup

A Night At The Opera

Love and Death ( for some reason this is the Woody Allen movie that just kills me)

Arsenic and Old Lace


I just saw Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle and as dumb as it was I laughed way more than I probably should have at my age....

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

11. Fahrenheit 9/11

I mean, seriously, in what fictional world would voters be dumb enough to elect the main character as President and than fucking re-elect him?!. That's hysterically funny, don't you think?

On Edit: And on topic, I didn't see any votes for "Animal House." Not sure if it's my favorite, but it's pretty darned funny. Another good one is the original "The In-Laws" with Alan Arkin and Peter Falk. Cracks me up every time. Serpentine Shel!

[Bob3]

12. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Duck Soup
This is Spinal Tap
MST3K - Manos the Hands of Fate
The Bank Dick
A Fish Called Wanda
When Harry Met Sally
As Good as it Gets
Animal House

[morningglory]

13. Funny is real when a 4-yr-old and a 40-yr-old nearly wet their

pants laughing at the very same spots: Pink Panther when Clouseau sucked the masterpiece painting up into the vacuum cleaner nozzle and then sucked up a live parrot. Oh boy! Big Lebowski is wonderful! Many more, but especially the ones that are funny to all ages, like Charlie Chaplin, who appealed to people all over the world except for vindictive conservatives here in the USA.

[CBHagman]

16. I had hysterics at The Big Lebowski.

And here's another vote for the original In-Laws with Alan Arkin and Peter Falk. "Don't shoot! I'm a dentist!"

And I love Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, and Ball of Fire.

[mcscajun]

14. The Producers, and a few more...

Hopscotch
My Favorite Year
Noises Off!
The Ref
The Blues Brothers
Duck Soup
Animal Crackers
Monkey Business

[mcscajun]

33. "The Lion in Winter"?

I love that movie. It's intense. Never thought of it as comic...although it does have a moment or two. :)

[masshole]

19. five I like

In no particular order

Slapshot (Hockey! Paul Newman! Can it get any better?)
Monty Python & The Holy Grail
Airplane (the original only)
Dr. Strangelove (see AV)
Austin Powers 1 (Dr. Evil's monologue during the "father/son therapy" scene was brilliant)

[masshole]

23. Meat Helmets

The details of my life are quite inconsequential.
My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian woman named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

[WI_DEM]

21. Young Frankenstien, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Some Like it Hot

Tootsie
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (a very black comedy)
Harold and Maude
Bringing Up Baby
Duck Soup
North by Northwest (I appreciate it as a comedy as well as a thriller)
The Nutty Professor (Jerry Lewis' 1963 masterpiece)

P.S.
Those Ealing comedies with Alec Guiness such as "The Lavender Hill Gang", "The Ladykillers" (much superior to the Tom Hanks film) and especially Kind Hearts and Coronets.

[hickman1937]

22. Ghostbusters.

The first movie that I laughed till I cryed. Airplane too. Their effect has worn off from too many viewings, but I still remember how amazing they were when they first came out. Hot Shots Part Deux too. Especially the documentary they filmed about it.

[lumberjack_jeff]

Saw it three nights in a row with three different girls.

Aaaah... to be 19 again. :)

[LizW]

26. Scene in Bruce Almighty

When Jim Carrey uses his godly powers to make Steve Carrell make all those noises on camera during the news broadcast. I just about wet myself every time I see it.

:rofl:

[mark414]

27. Fear of a Black Hat

which is essentially the spinal tap of rap music

i have shown it to friends/family who HATE rap music and even they were in stitches

it is absolutely ridiculous and absolutely fantastic

[punpirate]

28. Not necessarily in this order:

"The Man in the White Suit"

"Hopscotch"

"Dr. Strangelove"

"The Fireman's Ball"

"Some Like It Hot"

"Real Genius"

"Animal House"

"Duck Soup"

"M*AS*H"

"Young Frankenstein"

"Sleeper"

[mcscajun]

32. Wow. Someone else *knows* Hopscotch.

:)

I always put it in lists...'cause I figure most folks don't know it.

"Hey, Myerson. Say, I thought you were taller. I don't remember you being this short - how'd you get so short?"

[punpirate]

35. Oh, yeah...

... it's a very clever--and funny--movie. I've seen it a dozen times and still fall down laughing at the scene where the FBI is destroying Myerson's wife's house....

[mcscajun]

36. OMG, YES!!!

It's Too, Too Priceless...and just what he has coming, the rat. :)

[punpirate]

40. Don't know if you've noticed...

... but in that series of scenes leading up to the shoot-out, the producers do some funny things with continuity. At first, the picture of Myerson on the desk is of Myerson smiling, and by the time the fireworks are being laid, his expression is very sour, with mouth downturned.

Another thing I read about it was that Ned Beatty was very troubled about doing Myerson. Apparently, he's a very devout and religious person, and had a lot of trouble with Myerson's lines, laced as they are with profanity. Article said that, at first, he had a lot of difficulty getting them out, but it got easier as time went by. :)

Cheers.
