Your fave funniest movies?

My two all-time favorite movies:

The Gods Must Be Crazy

Adventures in Babysitting

I could go on and on, but two that come to mind are:

The In-Laws (the original with Peter Falk & Alan Arkin)

My Cousin Vinny

Never Again has got a couple gut splitting scenes and it's a really good film!

Yeah, Judy has covered two of our faves, but anything directed by Christopher Guest...

• This is Spinal Tap ( a classic!)
• Best of Show
• Waiting for Guffman
• A Mighty Wind
• For Your Consideration

In fact This is Spinal Tap, Best of Show, and Waiting for Guffmana were listed in the top 25 Funniest Movies in the past 25 years.

Oh, and don't forget about A Fish Called Wanda.

Young Frankenstein

Okay, you have me going. Young Frankenstein, love it. How about Blazing Saddles?

This one you will have to see, it's out in theatres now. Yes, Man. Hilarious.

The Wedding Singer Night at the Roxbury Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny Superbad Knocked Up Raising Arizona Saved! The Royal Tennenbaums Rushmore Real Genius

My favorite genre! Thanks for helping me wake up, Giannina. And enjoy!

Gotta agree with Cindy...YES MAN is funny.

Any of the Monty Pythons, The Great Race, and Its A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. All three alway make me laugh. Art T.

Amelie is my favorite movie to cheer up a freind with although not really a comedy but it is funny and uplifting.

Little Miss Sunshine is very uplifting and funny, Royal Tennebaums is great, Super Troopers is fun, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is a riot.

Take Care Mike

G. To ring in the New Year I first went to see Yes, Man. and later that night went to a laughing meditation. That was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. And a New Years Day I'll never forget. Try laughing for one half hour straight without stopping...you can imagine. Yes, we tickled each other and made funny faces, had pillow fights...still 30 minutes..Yikes.

Idiocracy I have seen this movie half a dozen times and still laugh every time.

"The Ref" is my all-time favorite. I laugh on the very first line of dialogue. It's especially good for anyone who has to deal with a dysfunctional family at Christmas.

Others:

A Knight's Tale

Galaxy Quest

When Harry Met Sally

Tootsie with Dustin Hoffman is my favorite.

If he's a guy, I'd recommend any Adam Sandler movie. I also enjoy Princess Bride, Knight's Tale, early Robin Williams (Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire, etc.), and if you go to YouTube and type in a search for "Bumbershoot" plus "ice fishing" plus "yodeling", you'll find my Bumbershoot performance on ... well, yeah, Ice Fishing, yodeling, and the super-secret, sonic-harmonic, ice fishing fish locator (especially good if he's from da Midwest, doncha know!)

High Fidelity--one of John Cusack's best

all of the above (and another shoutout for Monty Python, especially the Holy Grail :"Oh, Its only a flesh wound!" is a favorite line of mine when I am in BIG trouble)

Oldies but goodies; the entire Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies. One can buy the whole set now, starting with A shot in the Dark ,with my name sake, Elke Sommers, and on and on for six or seven more...they keep getting funnier.

hmmm... Think I'll pop one into the dvd tonight.

Peter Sellers was also terrific in Being There, his last movie.

cheers, Elke

A vote for the one that topped a poll of the American Film Institute membership as "funniest film ever" a few years ago:

Some Like It Hot

Danny Kaye ...

The Court Jester

Mel Brooks, Jerry Lewis, Red Skelton ... maybe silent movies

Trapped in Paradise. The ultimate sweet, sappy, corny movie. I watch it several time a year. It just makes me laugh and feel good.

Office Space is a classic!!! a must see!

Then there's Shark Tale for a lighter side.
