What do yopu feel was the funniest movie
you ever saw?

on a scale of 1 - 10........

Duck Soup.

Three way tie. Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Airplane!

Close fourth: "There's Something About Mary".

"Bringing up Baby" with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. Hilarious and absurd from start to finish!

"The Life of Brian"

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

"Earth Girls Are Easy",
"The meaning of Life",
"Police Academy", "Animal House"
and "Ten Things I Hate About You".
and "Friday". and a whole bunch of other ones.
"There's something about Mary was kinda funny, but the old lady and her dog truly scared me. also, I was shocked at how they used the oldest Jokes in the book. (Didn't anyone see "Fast times at Ridgemont High?") the end had me rollin', though.

As far as laughing so hard my sides hurt and I almost passed out... that award would go to There's Something About Mary. But the funny bits were only in three or four scenes.

As far as laughing at something in every single scene that appears... I award that to Ghostbusters.

Blazing Saddles...however, Richard Pryor Live In Concert (the 1st one) is a close 2nd

Top Secret!

MP and ZAZ movies in general. :)

Waiting for Guffman!

"A Fish Called Wanda"!!!

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Monty Python and the Holy Grail yet... I love that movie!

The Naked Gun was the first thing that sprang to mind.
Then came The Full Monty. I'm sure there are others I've forgotten which I'll post later.

Of course, there's always Flying High. Oops, you called it Airplane! in the US, didn't you?

Kingpin, UHF, Spaceballs, and Airplane.

The Money Pit

Austin Powers 1 & 2

The Blues Brothers

How could I forget The Castle? It's an Aussie film; don't if the humour would translate that well to an overseas audience. But it was very popular Down Under.
I thought it was OK the first time I saw it but upon repeated viewings I have grown to really enjoy it.

The Princess Bride

"Have fun storming the castle!"

As you wish!

One movie that I thought was funny was Lost & Found, and also Planes, Trains, and automobiles.

OK, in no particular order: Airplane, In and Out (for the dance sequence), Soapdish, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

The early Woody Allen comedies like "Take The Money And Run", "Bananas", and "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex"

... and "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex"

You know, I was afraid to ask about that!

UHF isn't made any more . . . AHHHHH!!!!

The Princess Bride-Iconcievably hilarious!
Groundhog Day-Funniest movie of all time. Whatch out for this one. Its a doozy!

Bing!

I applaud all of your choices, but I just wanna say one thing about Soapdish --

Quote:

"A brain transplant!"
"It's okay, I've... done it before."

How about Real Men? It may not make you collapse in laughter, but it's got the best music of any comedy!

"This Is Spinal Tap" . . . is there a board for this anywhere on the movie board? It seems to me like there should be one, but I can't find it.

A perfectly hilarious Woody Allen film ... "Sleeper"

This Is Spinal Tap, scale of one to ten, they go to eleven. Probably one of the Best times I ever had at a concert , also. Lucky me I got the DVD for Xmas.:~} and Sleeper was also a hoot, "They saved his Nose"".......LMAO The readings from the Holy Book...... TV Guide

"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"

"The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle"
(I'm sorry, I just got this one on DVD and I laughed all the way through it)

"A Night at the Opera"
"A Day at the Races"
"Blazing Saddles"
"Spaceballs"
"Ghostbusters"

I wanted a board for this film, but one of the funniest film ever is "The Producers." Zero Mostel was at the top of his game as the shady ex-Broadway whiz Max Bialystock, and Gene Wilder was never better as his partner-in-crime. Very New York, very funny. A big budget stage adaptation is headed to Broadway in April, 2001. I doubt it can improve upon this film.

"It's Springtime for Hitler and Germany!"

Caddyshack should get a mention as well as Withnail & I.

The Groove Tube (a "spoof" film in the vein of Hardware Wars and {Naked Gun}) is really funny. It stars Ken Shapiro, Richard Belger (very young) and even Chevy Chase (very, VERY young). It's a movie spoofing all things television in the late 60's/early 70's. The "Kramp TV Kitchen" and "Koko the Clown" skits are hilarious!

Showgirls. Couldn't stop laughing at a plot and dialogue that someone actually paid Joe Esterhaus a million dollars for.

I think Esterhas quit Hollywood in disgust a few years ago. Before "Showgirls", he wrote some serious films like Stallone's union pic "F.I.S.T."
I also like some of the films Steve Martin did with director Carl Reiner, particularly "The Jerk" and "All Of Me." Martin was hilarious before he married Victoria Tennant (who he met on the set of "All Of Me.") and started taking himself too seriously. Unfortunately, even though he is now divorced, he still takes himself too seriously.

"Xanadu". Funny for all the wrong reasons.
"Airplane!". Well, it did have Lloyd Bridges.

Wasn't "Airplane!" Leslie Neilson's first comedic role?

I believe so. Prior to that, he had the reputation for playing the "heavy", believe it or not.

So Show Girls was a comedy. That explains why I was laughing so much.

All the Marx brothers movies

I saw the movie a few years ago, I think it was called "Noises off" about a theater production. A lot of confusion scenes.

The zucker/abraham movies the naked gun ...

Noises off was a hilarious film...Definitely my top pick!

"Platoon"

What about Mel Brook's History of the World: Part 1. I thought that was hilarious! Including the previews for History of the world: Part 2
I'm still waiting for Hitler on Ice!! And still waiting.......still waiting.........
waiting.................

I'm waiting for Jews in Space.

"Kung Pow-Enter the Fist"

South Park Bigger, Longer, Uncut

Any Mel Brooks movie

ANY Kevin Smith movie (Namely Dogma and Clerks, as the video store never has the Chasing Amy DVD in. (I really need to see it!)
(Cool! A sailboat!) Yes, I know that's Mallrats. I don't care.

And, yes, Monty Python.

Scary Movie is hilarious. I've yet to see the second one, but the first one is great!

Almost any Jim Carrey.

And a great deal more that I'm not remembering...

Clerks and Chasing Amy were hilarious. The other Kevin Smith films range from scattershot to utter shite.

Loved the first Scary Movie. The second one was utter bottom-of-the-barrell DRECK.

The only Jim Carrey comedy I thought was funny was Liar, Liar.

Really? I loved both "Ace Ventura"s.

You didn't like Dogma?!!!

The truman show was funny from a certainPOV

I thought it was a bit scattershot, Hannah.

Dogma ruled, as do any and all of the mighty Silent Bob's epics. In fact I can state unequivocally, even though they aren't made/finished yet, Clerks: Sell Out (the animated movie), Fletch Won, and Jersey Girl will totally rule! And Kev's unused script for Tim Burton's failed attempt at raping the Superman franchise (as he did to Batman, twice), Superman Reborn? Awesome! I read snippets of it at a Sci-Fi con and I wished I'd had the money to buy a copy.

View Askew just rules in general. Even the NON Kevin stuff, like Vinnie's A Better Palce (read my review in the Drama section), Bry Johnson's Vulgar, Malcom & Matt's Drawing Flies, Affleck's "I Killed And Ate My Wife Now I Have A Three Picture Deal With Disney" (short film, directed by Ben), and (probably, though I haven't seen them yet) Lynch's Big Helium Dog, and Angry Naked Pat The Movie.

But yeah Scary Movie 2 was weak. Worst sequel ever, as Comic Store Guy on The Simpsons would say.

Of all time? Horse Feathers or is it Duck Soup ("Hail, Hail Freedonia!")

What about Monty Python's Holy Grail? I and my friends can quote the movie begining to end and laugh ourselves sick over it still. I actually found Down Periscope funny but never, ever watch it with a person in the Navy. My navy friend did not find it as funny. Truman show was ok just too subtle and going more for different emotions in my view. Blues Brothers and Galaxy Quest were also some funny ones that didnt go for the big slapstick (well at least not tooo heavily) and I have to agree Hail Hail Freedonia!!

Clerks was fall down, tears rolling down your face funny! The scene with the catbox? "I'm not even supposed to be here today! My girlfriend sucked 37 d!cks"
Also on the list would be Cadillac Man, and Noises Off.

Galaxy Quest

They've all been mentioned, but...

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spaceballs, Dogma (IMO the best of the New Jersey Saga), South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut

And maybe Animal House and Meet the Parents

Maybe I simply missed it elsewhere on this list, but surely Young Frankenstein would be in the top ten, if not the top five. (It's one of my favorites.)

I had it.

Oh, yeah, there it is.

Don't forget my favorites:
The Odd Couple
Some Like it Hot
Blackbeard's Ghost
Bullets Over Broadway
Johnny English~ the best of them all!

Evil Dead II -- possibly the best balance of comedy and horror ever.

The Love Bug -- just saw it again after oh, 30 years, and there are many LOL parts.

Dumb & Dumber
