toldailytopic: What are the best comedy movies of all time?

[Buzzword]

Down Periscope.

Awesome cast who all looked like they had fun doing it, even though the movie didn't get much fanfare.

Plus I nearly pee myself every time I hear "I just don't think it's good policy for the Navy to hand over a piece of billion-dollar equipment to a man who has 'Welcome Aboard' tattoed on his penis!"

Shaun Of The Dead = the win.

Yea!! Love that movie.


Forrest Gump, American Pie and Clerks Series

 

[Quincy]

Forgot to mention The Men Who Stare at Goats

The Princess Bride

Any Comedy that has classic lines, that always bring a smile to one's face, even years later.

Such as "He's just mostly dead."........"I've seen worse."

Or, "Inconceivable......... I don't think that word means what you think it does."

Most comedies become dated, the truly great ones can endure.

There is only one comedy that actually gets better every year, and that is Al Gore's masterpiece, An Inconvenient Truth.

It was funnier than ever last year during the Copenhagen Blizzard, that celebrated the global warming conference.

As more real science, and real climate data comes in, it will continue to get funnier, and become a continuous knee slapper-side splitter.

Pink Panther:

"That's an idiom."

"No, YOU are the idiom."

OK, maybe I need to get out more . . .

Canadian Bacon was pretty good.

I thought Man on the Moon was brilliantly funny.

Monty Python's Life of Brian over Holy Grail although they are both :up:

And Road Trip. Tom Green is a waste of space, but that movie was pretty funny.

 

[Buzzword]

The Hangover
Disturbingly funny.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
"Pride is an abomination. One must reject the self in order to attain true spiritual creaminess, and avoid the chewy chunks of degradation."

 

[Four O'Clock]

There was a vote a few years ago by, I think, everyone involved in the Motion Picture Association of America and no one yet has mentioned what finished #1 in their poll.
"Some Like It Hot"

I know that Knight has always had "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World" at or near the top of his list.

I've always loved Bill Murray who has a nice resume of movie comedies to his credit.

My personal favorite Murray is 1980's "Where the Buffalo Roam" a loose parity on a piece of gonzo journalist Hunter Thompson's life.
Johnny Depp & Benicio DelToro did the "Fear & Loathing..." remake a few years ago but they curtailed the "funny" in lieu of dark, unsettling material. Not to mention Depp stole much of Murray's character.
Murray's Thompson is side splitting tears in your eyes funny!

"Some Like it Hot," was hilarious, but I also liked, "Goodbye, Charlie." :thumb:

I believe that movie is what, "Two-and-a-half Men," is based on.

I know that Knight has always had "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World" at or near the top of his list.

"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" played numerous times on AMC recently. When it comes to a cast of comedians, this movie takes the top prize.

(Is this known as "sucking up to the boss"?)

 

[Four O'Clock]

on AMC recently.

Forgive me for ranting for a moment. :chuckle:

Saw it on AMC did you?
Did you have to endure a commercial every 6 minutes? or 7?
(When channel surfing, we make bets as to whether a commercial will be on AMC)
And every PG & R movie they show is sliced and diced to the point of non-recognition.
And, as a final nail in their over-rated coffin, they now have info-mercials for 2-3 hours every early morning.
Turner Classic Movies is light-years better!!! NO commercials, now in HD as well.
One last rant. AMC acts like they're so ''with it''
Ex: "This Friday, the Rocky film collection will be shown round the clock. AMC, where commerc---oops, we mean story matters."
Not to mention the other endless re-runs of the same movies, month after month.
I'm done. I feel better now.:hammer:
