Your Favorite Funniest Movies

Twisted but funny...
http://www.ifilm.com/filmdetail?ifilmid=2410176

I've given this quite a bit of thought and came to the conclusion that anything by Peter Sellers or Mel Brookes is funniest shit around.

The Party, for sure!
Birdy num nums!

Blues Brothers Baby!!

Blues Brothers 2000 is okay, but not as good as the 1st. Music is tops though

"Dark Star" - Great low-budget, 1974 John Carpenter space flick.

"Easy Money" - Classic Rodney.

"Midnight Run" - Great deadpan Grodin: "Ninety-nine bottles of beer-on-the-wallllllll..."

"The Three Stooges in Orbit" - Great Saturday afternoon movie.

Hmmm... funny movies.... I'd say:

Caveman
Young Frankenstein
Auntie Mame (Rosalyn Russell)
Bringing Up Baby (brilliant!)
and
All About Eve (always makes me laugh out loud.)

Oh.. and Spinal Tap - the extended, DVD re-release. (Intravenous De Milo... funny stuff.)

Great movies: "Dark Star" was the seed for nearly every major SciFi moves for the next 15 years (they all had either a Writer, Director or Special Effects director from Dark Star involved, and Alien was based on just part of the movie).

"Easy Money" is Rodney Dangerfield's unsung classic, one of his funniest movies, plus several other good actors came out of it. And I got to see part of it being filmed as a kid on Staten Island.

"Midnight Run" is a great buddy/road picture like Hope/Crosby's "Road..." pictures & "Planes, Trains & Automobiles."

Isn't the "The Three Stooges in Orbit" the one where they escape the Martians by jumping off the edge of the world? It's been a long time & I might have it mixed up with "Have Rocket, Will Travel."

"My Man Godfrey" (1936)- William Powell (The Thin Man and one of the great comic actors of all time) and Carol Lombard. Spoiled, dizzy socialite has to find a "forgotten man" in a scavenger hunt, he is a disilluisioned rich man escaping life by hanging out with bowery bums. She decides to make him her protege and he becomes a butler in their disfunctional rich household.

"His Girl Friday" (1940) Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell- Just see it!

"Night Shift" (1982)- Michael Keaton's first movie that also features Henry Winkler and Shelly Long, about two losers that start running prostitutes out of the NY City morgue.

"Ace Ventura" (both of them) and "Bruce Almighty" Carrey's best since the Ace Ventura movies IMHO.

Pink panther strikes again....herbert lom kills!
The party.....the dart fired at the cowboy's head!
The odd couple..the sound Felix makes while trying to clear his stuffed ear in a crowded coffee shop..
The blues brothers.....the whole movie is funny!
Animal house..the scene with the bad guys fraternity giving Kevin bacon a swat..kind of reminds me of George Bush in his "skull and bones" days!!
Detroit rock city...the girl in the bathroom
Swingers
Made ....are you the red dragon?
Slap shot...the hanson brothers rule!! Want some foil, coach?
Bad news bears in breaking training..the fat kid on the toliet eating KFC.
Big fat liar, a kids movie but very funny when the bad guy get's dyed blue and orange!
Home alone....when the tarantula lands on the robber, he screams even louder then thru the whole movie!

Hey ffl, which "Easy Money" scene(s) were you able to see being filmed? It would be great to have seen that. Joe Pesce is classic in that movie too. The Three Stooges in Orbit is the one where there are Martians trying to steal a spaceship invention so they can conquer the world - typical 1960's Stooges stuff!
Also, I loved that beach ball style alien in "Dark Star".

I saw them filming the scene where they pick up the wedding cake at the Bakery & Fish Market.

OK, then it's "Have Rocket, Will Travel" where they escape the aliens by jumping off the edge of the world.

That's the scene that Dan O'Bannon later based Alien on.

Then that's the scene when Joe Pesce "wedges the cake against the toilet" in his plumbing van so it won't move around... Classic!

That was a comedy? Bloody hell, I missed all the jokes in that one. 90 minutes of a bunch of knob-heads going "That's so money" - I can't see how any enjoyment could be derived from that movie......awful......awful.......

Trader Woody

maybe not THE funniest...but how about
The Gods Must Be Crazy 1 and 2...and
Atomic Cocktail....Is the Petey
Wheatstraw movie about the blues singer?
He's a good one!
I also agree with "The Man Who Knew Too
Little"...the Russian dancing scene with
the bomb is one of the funniest scenes
ever

Knob-heads, thats so money....Oh wait, were talking about the PG-13 Movie from the front of the video store, not the "Swingers" Film from the little room in the back. :blush:

Till next time, keep the ice cold and the blender warm.
