Blazing Saddles.

Didn't think of it but yes, that's good. :up:

That was incredibly funny. :noid:

You really wanna re-edit that post Kmo. Home Alone is about as funny as wall insulation....

:down:

 

[Buzzword]

Pretty much the whole of Mel Brooks.

Silent Movie was pretty good (which I haven't seen on anyone's list).

:bang: I KNEW I forgot one!

The only Mel Brooks movie I haven't enjoyed, loved, and owned is Dracula: Dead and Loving It.

...just a bad day for Mel, methinks.

Maybe I put it there for mostly sentimental value. :idunno:

Well it sure wasn't for comedy value...lain:

Now Shaun Of The Dead OTOH....

I thought SotD was boring. :yawn:

I think part of the problem is people I talked to made it out to be a really funny movie and then it didn't meet my expectations at all. Waste of 2 hours. :down:

 

[Lighthouse]

O' Brother, Where Art Thou?
Rat Race

 

[kmoney]

O' Brother, Where Art Thou?

I've been wanting to see that one again.

Well yes, but if your expectations of amusement are equivalent to Macaulay Culkin being annoying for two hours then....

Duck Soup

While You Were Sleeping

The Americanization of Emily

Monty Python's Holy Grail

[Cruciform]

It's almost impossible to define "best". So I asked myself which comedies can I watch over and over and never get bored.

An excellent criterion.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Dumb and Dumber
Bruce Almighty
Dan In Real Life
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Arthur



Gaudium de veritate,

Cruciform

[Evoken]

Shaun Of The Dead = the win.

 

[Traditio]

Shaun Of The Dead = the win.

And that deserves a positive rep...unlike Kmo's post. :nono:
