The Committments

....maybe because it came out when I was 18 and it reminds me of a certain time in life. Still find it funny......

It's amazing how much ****e you can get outta such a small dog.

God sent him.........on a fcukin Suzuki?

They'll be eating chips out of our knickers.

Talladega Nights
I Went Down
The Nutty Professor

Kung Fu Hustle. It's an affectionate parody of all those Kung Fu film that have a big of comedy in them.

Has also been described as Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton meet Quentin Tarantino and Bugs Bunny.

I agree it's a great film, but I don't really think of it as a comedy--more a coming-of-age story with some funny moments.

Hot Fuzz , Just so much foreshadowing. It's worth watching again for the greater good.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show - apparently some people like this
Monsters, Inc. - don't forget the out takes at the end
Delicatessen
Sleeper
The Wrong Trousers

My taste changes depending on mood but all I can think of for this thread is In Bruges. It's obviously quite dark for a comedy but some parts are genuinely hilarious. I dont normally like Colin Farnell but his delivery in this is excellent.

Totally forgot about The Room.

The fact that it's supposed to be serious makes it even funnier.

dinneenp · 26-10-2016 12:54PM

Hard to make a definitive list.

Blazing Saddles, Airplane, Groundhog Day, Dumb and Dumber all obvious ones.

Not sure if these ones have been mentioned-
The Odd Couple
the man with 2 brains
Clerks (presume mentioned)
