Comedy Movies The Ones You Think Are Comedy Classics.

h7nlrp2v0g5u48

Like most Boardies I've seen a fair few comedy movies over the years some I would call comedy classics and some not so.
I'm a big fan of Mel Brooks Movies so here are a few I would put in my comedy library.

History of The World Part 1 which also starred Mel Brooks.

Young Frankenstein with the brilliant Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman.

Blazing Saddles with Slim Pickens and Gene Wilder.

Outside the above mentioned I would put comedy movies starring Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Burt Reynolds.

So what comedy movies would you put in your library?

The man with two brains is hilarious.

When he uttered the immortal line "but... I can't fúck a gorilla" I nearly puked laughing.

I forgot to mention Police Academy. Another comedy classic.

American Pie. If you were a teenager when that came out, it resonated!
I have good time for the sequel and Reunion too.

Another early Steve Martin one I think deserves a mention
"Dead men don't wear plaid"

TerrorFirmer

Always have time to endlessly rewatch The Naked Gun, Anchorman, Scary Movie 2, Hot shots Part Deux, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. We could talk all day about funny films but those are the ones that particularly spring to mind for me, and the ones I sit down to watch for 'just a minute' and end up sitting through the whole thing.

It may not be the funniest movie ever made, but I remember struggling to breathe during parts of Austin Powers: Goldmember in the cinema. That scene where he and mini-me are sneaking on-board the submarine gets me every time.

Not outright comedies but two classies that everyone should see (preferably with a few friends and a lot of cans): For Your Height Only, and The Room.

There was a few memorable lines in the Jerk to,
'I didn't know you could get pizza in a cup.'

This one always cracks me up.

VW 1

The Big Lebowski, Full Metal Jacket (up to the point where Private Pyle leaves the film), The Guard, In Bruges, Life of Brian are the ones off the top of my head.

Also, most Robin Williams comedies too.

Not one funny moment in any of them but they look good on lists.

The "Citizen Kane"'s of comedy.

You didn't laugh at The Snapper or Tootsie?

I wouldn't call The Snapper profoundly intelligent either.

cavemeister

The first time I saw "Me, Myself and Irene" at the cinema, I thought I was going to die laughing.

You would be arrested for making a movie like that today but at the time, comedy gold!!
