The man with two brains is hilarious.

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

Riddle101 · 31-10-2018 11:37AM

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 · 31-10-2018 12:30PM

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.

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.

For me, in no particular order.

Old school
Most of Laurel and Hardy’s stuff.
The Marx Brothers
Harold Lloyd

More modern

Some Like It Hot
Sleeper
The Snapper
The Odd Couple
Planes Trains and Automobiles
Life of Brian
Airplane
The Jerk
Groundhog Day
This is Spinal Tap
Midnight Run
The Apartment
In The Loop
Young Frankenstein
Dr Strangelove
Blazing Saddles
Tootsie

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 · 31-10-2018 01:35PM

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!!
