Funniest Movies of All Time!!!
Here's my top five:

1) Monty Python and The Holy Grail - I laughed from beginning to end. It still makes me laugh.

2.) Young Frankenstein - I dare you to watch the "Putting on the Ritz" scene and not laugh.

3.) Monty Python's Life of Brian - "He's not the messiah! He's a very naughty boy. Now, Go Away!'

4.) CaddyShack - Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, and Chevy Chase at their best.

5.) SouthPark The Movie - Hysterical.

95. Office Space, most definitely
so many classic moments in that movie

"I'll show her my 'O' face"

"What would you do with a million dollars?" "Two chicks at once."

The boss screwing the chick in the fantasy sequence

"That no-talent ass-clown!"

"Federal pound-me-in-the-ass-prison."

One of my favorite hobbies is turning people on to that movie.

Where the Buffalo Roam. Bill Murray plays the same character (Hunter S. Thompson) that Depp plays, and he plays it the same way.

122. Where The Buffalo Roam...
Apparently, Murray moved in with Thompson for several weeks before shooting started to study him. Later, during post-production, they rented a house in the hills overlooking Universal Studios. At one point, when they didn't like the way the editing was going, they were debating getting a mortar, and shelling Universal.

I was at a test screening of the rough cut of that film at Universal a few months before it was released. I later read that both Thompson and Murray were sitting behind me, in the back row, but came in after the lights had dimmed and slipped out before it ended, so I didn't know they were there at the time.

8. When I first saw Caddyshack, I thought it was great
When I saw it years later, I thought it was the stuoidest most unfunny thing I'd ever seen. Then later I saw it and was able to do some chuckling, so I don't know.

I would add Wayne's World. Not the funniest thing I've ever seen, but when I first saw it, I was dyin' :D

22. funniest movies of all time from Big McLargehuge
The Producers, Mel Brooks' funniest film. "I picked the wrong script, the wrong director, the wrong actors... where did I go right?"

Return of the Pink Panther. The one where Dreyfus goes completely insane and becomes a supervillian.

South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. The greatest American satire ever filmed.

I'm Gonna Get You Sucka': Keenan Ivory Wayans spoof of the Blaxploitation films of the 70s.

Airplane and Airplane 2: The first film for the whole film and the second for William Shatner.

Hot Shots: For Lloyd Bridges' performance.

This is Spinal Tap: I think the problem can be traced to having a Stonehenge monument on stage in danger of being trampled by a dwarf.

The Whoopie Boys: With Paul Rodrigues and the guy from Caddyshack...

Twelve Chairs....haven't seen that in many years. didn't remember it as having been that funny then. have to see it again.

that scene from Modern Romance when he takes the downs, then plays his album (5th of Beethoven?), then starts calling people on the phone, talking like a redfreak, then gets in the car, passes out......god, that kills me

Albert Brooks also HATES Lorne Michaels for what he did to him at SNL

I don't blame him. AB used to be one of the most reliably best things about SNL.

The Twelve Chairs is on the list because of Dom DeLuise's and Ron Moody's performances.

33. can't find the name yet, but.....
how could anything be more sickeningly amusing than THIS:

http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0601-08.htm

{Lionel Chetwynd's} His film — unlikely to enhance the reputation of Canadian filmmakers — portrays Bush as decisive and in-charge on 9/11, commanding officials on Air Force One to take him to Washington. "If some tinhorn terrorist wants me, tell him to come and get me! I'll be at home! Waiting for the bastard!"

Whoever was driving Air Force One apparently wasn't listening; as we know, the president was flown instead to Nebraska and only returned that evening to the White House, where Laura Bush was holding the fort.

One real-life scene unlikely to get much attention in the Hollywood epic was captured on video the morning of Sept. 11. It shows the president, right after he's been told a plane has hit the World Trade Center, strolling into a Grade 2 classroom at a Florida school. Minutes later, an aide informs him a second plane has hit the WTC. The president continues watching the children read a story about a pet goat and then chit-chats with them about reading. (This leaves the casting options wide open — Arnold Schwarzenegger as Bush, but Mr. Dress-Up would have worked too.)

34. "Bringing Up Baby" and "Dr. Strangelove"
Edited on Tue Jul-08-03 12:27 AM by Jeebo
I just watched "Bringing Up Baby" again after hearing of Katharine Hepburn's death. It's HILARIOUS! "Why is it so important for you to find George (the dog)?" "Because he knows where my intercostal clavicle is!" I must have seen that movie at least a couple dozen times and that line NEVER fails to crack me up!

And I'll always remember George C. Scott as the psychotic general and Peter Sellers in the title role and at least one more role in "Dr. Strangelove."

The other choices here are excellent, I just can't believe nobody mention The In-Laws yet.

50. Not obscure at all, in my family.
We saw it over and over since its release in the early 70s. Whole lines of dialogue from that movie have made their way into the family vernacular. Ron Moody was great.

126. No, it wasn't...
The Producers was first. The Twelve Chairs followed two or three years later, was a financial disaster, and almost finished Brooks as a filmmaker. He has since referred to the aftermath as "the Ralph Nadir of my existence."

52. Evil Roy Slade.
Edited on Tue Jul-08-03 12:23 PM by mac56
A made for TV western comedy from 1972, made by Garry Marshall. Starred John Astin as Evil Roy. Also starred Mickey Rooney, Milton Berle, Dom DeLuise, John Ritter, Dick Shawn, Henry Gibson, and countless others. Hysterically funny. Better, in many ways, than "Blazing Saddles". Much like "The Twelve Chairs" (see above), whole segments of the dialogue from this movie have made their way into my family's vernacular.

64. Oh my gawd...
I thought my mom and I were the only people on Earth who loved that movie.

"Bing Bell"

"Somebody get the door"

Snort.

Another funny Western no one has mentioned is The Villain with Kirk Douglas as the Bad Guy and Ahhh-nold as "Handsome Stranger". Hee.

65. Remember the "Stubby Index Finger" song?
And when Roy was explaining to his family of vultures about what "nice" is: "That's like a whole field of dead sheep!"

And telling the cello player: "You get that big fiddle up from between your legs! There's ladies present!"

God, this all takes me back.

or the part where he was selling shoes and the lady asked if they had any with open toes and he picked up a pair and shot a hole in them.

Snort.

92. When Roy was selling shoes -
and picked up a shoehorn. Didn't know what it was.

His boss told him it was to help people's shoes go on better.

Roy decided to try it. Saw a man trying on a pair of tight shoes, obviously not fitting. He stuck the shoehorn against the man's neck and said, "Get them shoes on right now!" Panicked, the man shoved his feet into the tight shoes, and Roy walked away marveling at how well that shoehorn worked.

99. Hey Boss, there's someone coming!
Roy: Kill him.
Man: It's a woman.
Roy: Wound her.

I love John Astin. The manic knee-jerk automatic villainy is just hysterical. When he's trying to take a step without his guns...

You ain't one of those funny boys, are you?

It's finally available on video, too; check it out.

Written by Jerry Belson and Garry Marshall (who produced) Directed by Jerry Paris. An early TV movie shot for nothing. Mel Brooks credits it as an inspiration for Blazing Saddles.

The Naked Gun
The Life of Brian
Tampopo
Shoot the Piano Player (French film from the 1960s. Not really a comedy, but it has some off-the-wall humor in it that takes you by surprise.)

127. The Wrong Box and Clockwise!
The Wrong Box: One of the greatest British comedies. Peter Sellers using a passing kitten to blot the ink on the death certificate, the hearse race, and the funniest-ever use of the line "The Butler did it?"

Clockwise: I can no longer hear that hymn tune ("He who would valiant be") in church without bursting into hysterics.

Speaking of British comedy (especially including Python cast members), has anyone else seen "Nuns on the Run"...?

'The Owl and the Pussycat' George Segal was hysterical stoned.

'What's Up Doc?' The great Madelyn Kahn. Just bought it on DVD.

'South Park, Bigger, Longer and Uncut' The title alone cracks me up.

'Murder By Death' Peter Falk and Eileen Brennan again.

Others are PB, The In-Laws (the old one not the new one, and I have a funny story to tell about alcohol, armed robbery and serpentine if anyone wants to hear it), Little Murders (this was the super slacker movie of the 70s, the Office Space of its generation).

77. That Touch of Mink
Even Darwin never figured on her. The four horsemen now have a riding companion. There's War, Famine, Death, Pestilence and Miss Timberlake. - Cary Grant, speaking of Doris Day

If Dr. Freud had ever been exposed to this girl he'd have burned his couch and opened a delicatessen. Freud's Famous Frankfurters. - Grant

What she needs is a simple dull, unimaginative man who will smile tolerantly when he comes home from work and learns that she's misplaced the children. - Grant

president, along with a multiple drunk convicted vice president on a pace maker, takes a great economy, a happy and prosperous population, world admiration and peace and blows it all in a couple months, tops it off with vacation after vacation, during which on one of them about 15 men manage to fly 3 planes full of people into 2 skyscrapers in NYC and the pentagon, while managing to have NO air-defence response, then gets this great idea to lie and cheat the armed forces to invade 2 countries, and the whole country just chuckles!

I think Don Knots played the president.

It starred B movie god, Bruce Campbell. I roll of the couch every time I watch it. I rank it right up there with Holy Grail, and Blazing Saddles. If you haven't seen it, you must do so asap!

"Good....Bad....I'm the guy with the gun." Soooo many scenes in that film are just wet your pants funny.

I just can't figure out why Bruce Cambell isn't a huge A list star.

BTW, I don't think a single unfunny movie has been suggested in this whole thread.

110. Cool As Ice
Are you ready? You might think you are, but in all honestly, there's no way to prepare yourself for what we're about to talk about. You know, it's like these guys in the armed forces about to go on the battle lines for the first time. They get themselves psyched up, grabbing and shaking each other's heads...but once those bullets start flying...total chaos. And it's the same thing here. You can't ready yourself for something this amazing. You can't possibly prepare yourself for...

Cool As Ice

Yes. Cool As Ice. The movie starring Vanilla Ice. The movie that's outlawed in 46 countries for being that bad. You have to understand, there's two kinds of 'funny' in this world.


1.- Guy makes hilarious joke, causing everyone to laugh.
2.- Guy wears a Mariah Carey t-shirt, causing everyone to laugh.
Cool As Ice would fall into the second category. It's fucking hilarious, but it's all completely unintentional. Vanilla Ice manages to accomplish what every comedian dreams of. He gets the entire audience to crack up without making a single joke. Now that's talent. So while Vanilla eventually proved that he couldn't sing and couldn't dance, this whole comedy thing seems right up his alley.

<follow link above for the entire breakdown of this hilarious movie>

Not the crappy remake. I'm talking the original with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin.

I won't do a full list, because it would be way too long and most of the movies mentioned here are on it. I admit it. I'm an enormous comedy dork. I watch comedy the way some people watch ballet...
