Your Favorite Film Comedies

[fureverywhere]

I've been landing in some dark places lately. I'm going to start searching for old favorites. It used to be just taking a trip to the video store. Now you have to find them elsewhere. So list some of your all time best comedies, first that come to mind for me:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Meaning of Life-The machine that goes BING and the cow being thrown over the wall. Monty Python has always made me laugh to tears.

Fatso-Chaining the refrigerator Dom Deluise helped me understand my husband's family like no one else could.

Bubble Boy-A very young Jake Gyllenhaal and a very silly movie.

Defending Your Life-Albert Brooks at his best

The Nutty Professor-The Eddie Murphy one.

The Mask-Kind of a dark comedy but so much fun.

I loved Blazing Saddles also.

Another favorite of mine is Best in Show.

 

[mattc]

The Big Lebowski...but that's just my opinion...The More the Merrier is a great one to watch with a friend.

 

[Pinky]

Blazing Saddles was a hoot!
Young Frankenstein .. especially Marty Feldman's character "Igor".

 

[fureverywhere]

Oh how could I forget?

 

[SeaBreeze]

Airplane, agree funny movie!

Planes Trains and Automobiles with Steve Martin and John Candy

[jujube]

I like the Marx brothers, even now. Just looking at Harpo makes me laugh. Bill Murray was pretty awesome in Groundhog Day too. Still one of my all time faves.

 

[justfred]

You will have to go a long way back to find my comedy films, Helzapoppin! The three Stooges, Abbot and Costello. No! You are all too young to remember them.

 

[oldman]

"Planes, Trains and Automobiles", "As Good As It Gets", "Animal House", "Uncle Buck", "Back To School", just to name a few.

 

[Ralphy1]

Many Woody Allen movies...

Some Like it Hot is one of my all time favourites! I'm not a great love of comedy films either but did enjoy the Doris Day films. Never ever liked Monty Python.

 

[fureverywhere]

Abbot and Costello. No! You are all too young to remember them.

Actually I was lucky as a kid. They had reruns of Abbott and Costello...George and Gracie too. They were all terrific. I've read much about the Marx Brothers. Apparently very nice guys in real life.

 

[Ameriscot]

I loved the 3 stooges. Not as fond of Abbott and Costello.

 

[Arachne]

Some of mine already mentioned but I will add My Big Fat Greek Wedding 1&2 and Office Space

 

[jnos]

Oh yea, for sure, Office Space. I think of it when I see a stapler! :lol:
