Anything with Walter Mathau. Grumpy Old Men was ace.
The 80's did produce a lot of great comedies, Stripes, Beverley Hills Cop, 48 Hours, Running Scared, Ruthless People.

There's loads.

Hot Fuzz
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Pretty much everything you guys have listed is top notch. Really want to watch some old school comedies now

Blazing saddles, life of Brian , planes trains, and Smokey. And since I haven't seen it mentioned, the original Longest Yard/ Mean Machine.

keano_afc · 24-10-2016 04:22PM

Airplane
Blazing Saddles
Trading Places
Ghostbusters

The 80's was an awesome time for bona fide classics (aware that Blazing Saddles was a 70s movie).

Me, Myself and Irene is brilliant stuff as well. The scene on the bridge at the end where Charlie and Hank are fighting each other showcases Jim Carrey's brilliance like no other.

Just seen Midnight Run mentioned. I can't believe I had forgotten it.

The Gods must be Crazy,

Nobody mention 'The Snapper', still love it.

murpho999 · 24-10-2016 05:27PM

Also, pleased to see a lack of Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson etc as so many people today call their stuff 'classic' but the only film of any of them that made me smile/laugh is 'Elf'.
