The Odd Couple (1968) staring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon is a classic. This was where all that 'Grumpy Old Men' stuff that they did later came from.

Highly recommended if you've never seen it.

Yeopgijeogin geunyeo - Its a Korean comedy about a bloke and his girlfriend. It is simply the funniest film I have ever seen. Shown for one day in the IFI. Though you can get it on DVD.

Then in second place
Oh brother where art thou! An amazing film

Love the bit where Starsky asks Hutch which one of the beautiful girls he wants. Hutch Replies "the one on the left"...
Starsky replies: "good becuase i'll take anything!!!!"

That scene when they wake up on the floor of the prison cell and go to put their trousers on. Richard Prior: " I can't feel my leg!! I can't feel my leg!!". Had me in tears.

In terms of laugh out loud comedy, There's Something About Mary ,for me.

THE BIG LEBOWSKI!!!!

Funniest.Film.Ever.

Fantasic film.. I've seen it so many times that I think I can recall the whole script at this stage.

Airplane and Spinal Tap sets the benchmark for me though

The Leprechaun... supposed to be a horror film but....

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107387/

Leprechaun in the Hood sounds promising too...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209095/

Other than that, I thought Eurotrip was really really funny and very underrated.

The Evil Dead films were excellent aswell. I loved Ash. Thought he was dead funny.

Still cant believe only one person said the Evil Dead films. The flying eyeball going into yer ones mouth was defiantly the funniest thing I ever saw in a film. And the really cheep special effects are great

Theres Something About Mary
Southpark: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
American Pie
Austin Powers 3

I'm basing these choices on how hard I laughed when I went to see them in the cinema.

In terms of how hard I laughed, then Naked Gun 2.5 - it had me and my mates rolling in the aisles at the cinema.

But I was a youngster then, my taste's a lot different now - of more recent films, I thought Life Aquatic and Lost in Translation (Bill Murray rules!) were both very funny and extremely charming.

Others: Big Lebowski, Dr. Strangelove ("Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"), Withnail & I, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Stir Crazy, See No Evil Hear No Evil, The Producers (Gene Wilder also rules!)... etc.
