Funniest Movie You've Seen

I saw that Snatch was mentioned, so I'll add Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Also: History of the World
 
This is the first time I saw this thread, I was scrolling through it wondering if I was going to get to be the first one to mention Spaceballs.

Then I see your schwartz is as big as mine! Let's see how well you handle it!

My favorite line of the movie:

Age certainly plays a part in movie choices but a standout funny for me over the years was the original in-laws really good chemistry between the leads.Another humerous film with good chemistry between leads was partners with Ryan Oneil and John Hurt.There are a lot of funny moments or characters in otherwise so so flicks,like the agador character in the birdcage or the art showroom worker in Beverly Hills cop 1,or the wedding designer in father of the bride.
 
Oh!!!!!!

How could we all forget....

PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES!
 
In no particular order:

Office Space
White Chicks <-- because of this thread I watched it again the other night. very funny
Undercover Brother
The Party (With Peter Sellers)
Laurel & Hardy Movies <-- REAL old skool. :D
 
WOW! All these posts and the BEST movies of all time still not mentioned.
  • Fast Times at Ridgemont High
  • Weird Science
  • Vacation (The OG version)

"This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest, a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and your gonna have fun. We're gonna have so much f**king fun they're gonna need plastic surgeons to remove the smiles from our f**king faces."

CLASSIC

Can't go wrong with Spaceballs.

Caddyshack, Something About Mary, Airplane!, The Naked Gun, Spinal Tap and Monty Python and the Holy Grail are up there.
 
For me, has to be Talladega Nights: The Tale of Ricky Bobby - and in particular the "Baby Jesus Prayer" part. It cracks me up every time I watch it:

Just about anything with Steve Martin in it. Especially The Jerk. Probably Trains, Planes and Automobiles in the #2 slot.

From more recent times, Office Space.

Some little known movies which are funny, Idiocracy and Suckers. There were parts of Suckers where I couldn't catch my breath I was laughing so hard. Anyone in the car business should watch that movie.
 
The responses to this thread will clearly define what generation you come from and how old you are. They will also clealy define your taste and morals be it slapstick, parrody/spoof, laugh-out-loud-funny, neurotic, or highschool.

For me I don't like the super childish comedy's you see all to often over the past 10 years like the Will Farrell clips as I've been out of highschool for more than a couple decades. That said there have been a number of movies that have had me laughing to the point of a near coughing fit with tears of joy streaming down my cheeks. My top 10 votes for the comic genius I've seen.

1. Animal House (huge cultural significance - Love the FOOD FIGHT!!!)
2. Caddyshack (first one) Would have been my first, but AH eeks it out for its importance in defining the crass comedies we know all to well these days.
3. Weekend at Bernies (first one) OMG - Imagine how difficult it would have been to play a dead person that is dragged around everywhere.
4. Porky's (first one) Shower scene is quite possibly the funniest 3 minutes on the big screen you will ever see. A defining moment in low bodget Canadian film making. Oh ya - and don't get me going on the Lassie bit. :)
5. There's Something About Mary - "Hey, is that hair gel"
6. Stripes
7. Planes, Trains & Automobiles ("Where's your hand - right here." "Where's you other hand?" "Between the pillows"................................."THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!!!!" My personal favorite comedy excerpt from ANY movie.
8. Naked Gun (first one)
9. Dumb & Dumber
10 A Fish Called Wanda ("Don't call me Asshole....") OMG Kevin Kline - sheer magic.
11... Ah yes - in tough company to and oh so close to making the top 10 is Wedding Crashers (Ironically it and Superbad were the only ones even remotely close to comparing to my tastes in humor for the past 10 years.


Fast Times at Ridgemont High, This is Spinal Tap, Young Frankenstien, Life of Brian, The Jerk, Holy Grail, Blazing Saddles, History of the World Part 1, Rushmore, The Blues Brothers, Groundhog Day, Trading Spaces, even The Big Lebowski are also all classics.

My wife killed herself laughing at Knocked Up, but she just had kids 4 years ago and would find the male/female banter funny. It would have been one I would put on a top 20 list if it wasn't so unnecessarily vulgar. As it stands it might as well sit next to Eddie Murphy Raw. lol
 
Ah yes, two more of my favs mentioned above.... Weekend at Bernies and Used Cars. Both absolutely in my top 10. BTW as a result of this thread, I recently rented Super Troopers. Amusing, but I didn't think it was anything genius.
 
Rat Race - it came out during 9/11. Super bad timing. But a hell of a funny flick!
 
Anyone see "Good Luck Chuck" I thought that was funny as hell the one liners that come out of his friend are great. If you like crude comedy this movie is for you:smile:
