Pete C Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) If there's already a thread I couldn't find it. I'll start with a few that I only caught up with in the last few years: The In-Laws My Cousin Vinny Johnny Stecchino I also think all the Austin Powers films are a hoot.

BillF Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) With you on Austin Powers; don't know the other ones. Don't forget the Marx Brothers, of course: Edited July 1, 2012 by BillF Quote

Larry Kart Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 The best scenes in "The Return of the Pink Panther" never fail to make me laugh: E.g. and the following scene where Sellers questions a group of suspects. Quote

thedwork Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) "Funniest Films" If there's already a thread I couldn't find it. great idea for a thread! 1st film that came to mind for me was Bullets Over Broadway. for me, easily Woody's funniest film. but it also deals w/ some interesting ideas as well and ends up being rather deep while never being less than absolutely hilarious! and even w/ his roles in Hurlyburly and Bronx Tale, for me this is still the best Chazz Palmitteri performance. the role of a lifetime... the setup: the beginning of how it plays out: too many great things in this movie to even try to start naming them. watch it!

Larry Kart Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 Ah, yes -- here it is: "But that's a priceless Steinway!" "Not any more." Quote

cih Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 Buster Keaton I find more beautiful to watch than actually funny I think, similarly the Marx Bros kind of beautiful to listen to (aside from Harpo who is beautiful to watch..), and Laurel and Hardy I find beautiful to watch and actually funny too. And Police Academy 5 obviously. Quote
marcello Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 Yes, Blazing Saddles is a absolute favorite! The wife and I saw TED last night and it was pretty funny, I must say. Quote
Tim McG Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Young Frankenstein Monty Python and the Holy Grail Madagascar [do animations count?] All of the Peter Sellers Pink Panther variations Edited July 1, 2012 by GoodSpeak Quote
Pete C Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Posted July 1, 2012 Million Dollar Legs, with Jack Oakie & W.C. Fields is hilarious and surreal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4PnLFoJuMk Another great '30s comedy in a surrealist mood is Marcel Carne's Drole de Drame aka Bizarre Bizarre. Quote
Free For All Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 Blazing Saddles A classic bit of highbrow humor Quote
Mike Schwartz Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Yes, Blazing Saddles is a absolute favorite! The wife and I saw TED last night and it was pretty funny, I must say. Quick hit & run here.... KILLER interview this morning with Joe Locke!! Thanks Tom! Personal family fave "Spaceballs" for all the obvious reasons Edited July 1, 2012 by Mike Schwartz Quote
Pete C Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) [do animations count?] If they make you laugh. Agreed on Young Frankenstein. Puttin' on the Ritz is priceless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ-aRwEbp5I The Producers. Edited July 1, 2012 by Pete C Quote
Tim McG Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) [do animations count?] Agreed on Young Frankenstein. Puttin' on the Ritz is priceless. I laugh out loud every time I watch that scene. I also like the bit with Gene Hackman as the blind guy; especially when the monster rolls his eyes. As long as we're in Mel Brooks mode: High Anxiety. Great Hitchcock spoof.

Free For All Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 I like the films w/Christopher Guest and the ensemble cast that stars in them- great mix of scripted & improvised dialogue. Spinal Tap Waiting for Guffman Best In Show A Mighty Wind For Your Consideration Quote
Scott Dolan Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 What's a yoot? Best In Show is one of my favorite comedies of all time. Quote
Pete C Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Posted July 1, 2012 I like the films w/Christopher Guest and the ensemble cast that stars in them- great mix of scripted & improvised dialogue. Me too. A Mighty Wind has special resonance for music people. Quote
Pete C Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Posted July 1, 2012 Charlie Kaufman scripted films in general. Especially Being John Malkovich. Parts of Ghost World. Quote
