I like:

newer good stuff is Anchorman, Superbad, 40 Year Old Virgin, Old School...i admit, i like the "frat pack" movies

Other great ones are History of the World part 1, and Airplane.

Has anyone seen The Heartbreak Kid ? It's a Ben Stiller movie that came out recently. Shit was hilarious.

 

[whatireallywant]

I usually say that my favorite comedies are older Mel Brooks (Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, The Producers) and ZAZ (Airplane, The Naked Gun)...

Others I like:

Hairspray (the original; haven't seen the remake yet but it actually looked good in the previews)

Silent comedies (especially Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd)

Mae West movies (because I just love her! She was way ahead of her time, and love her quotes!)

Pink Panther movies

There are many others as well...

I have that one. I think that it was a bit too much. That was the only Farrelley Brothers movie I didn't like.

Porky's wasn't really funny. I saw that movie with my parents at the movie theater. I think my dad wanted to see that one. My mom doesn't have a sense of humor...and it really seemed like one of the movies my Dad's friends talked him into seeing.

I liked the movie. I just didn't find it funny.

 

[ManlyBanisters]

A lot of the movies mentioned so far - more the older ones a la Brooks and Python - never did find Sandler funny... I'm surprised not to see Zoolander though, that movie is funny as fuck! I can tell, because I laughed even more the 2nd time.

My favourite funny movie though is Dark Star (IMDB). One of John Carpenter's earliest efforts - it's a sci-fi flick and really low budget (their pet alien is a giant painted beachball with feet stuck on) - this adds to the humour.

The premise is a deep space mission destroying unstable planets in colonisable star systems - the 4 man crew are, understandably, quite mad. Then one of their intelligent bombs malfunctions.

"Don't give me any of that intelligent life crap, just give me something I can blow up" is one of my favourite lines from the movie :biggrin1:

 

[flame boy]

My all time favourite funny movies are

Airplane!
Seven Year Itch
Priscilla...
Auntie Mame
Mommie Dearest (unintentional comedy)
The Birdcage
Austin Powers (first one)

 

[ballsaplenty2156]

A few more to mention:
Kentucky Fried Movie
Quick Change
The Money Pit
9 to 5
Funny Farm
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

 

[NCbear]

What? No one mentioned Galaxy Quest, the wonderful Star Trek spoof with Tim Allen as the self-centered captain who steals the stage (and chews the scenery) at the sci-fi conventions?

NCbear (who loved watching the ship back out of the docking area, scraping its side the whole way :biggrin1:, and who also loved watching Sigourney Weaver act like a bimbo, which she so obviously isn't :tongue

 

[deleted3782]

Young Frankenstein (I could do a whole thread on favorite quotes) Blucher!
Being There...one of my favs, though subtle.
Austin Powers
National Lampoons (Christmas, Vacation, European Vacation)
Meet the Parents

 

[SpeedoGuy]

Doubtlessly, Raising Arizona
