Ok, I have a few, not necessarily favourites, but the first that come to mind that I enjoyed.

There's Something About Mary

Who's Harry Cromb

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

Any of The Pink Panther series

Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn (Not really horror)

The Jerk

Most Monty Python or Woody Allen films are also good for a laugh.

Yeah Bowfinger is funny!!

And so was "Showtime"--Eddie Murphy and Robert De Niro. De Niro was surprisingly funny in that one. And of course William Shatner spoofing himself made you chuckle until you farted :P:D:rolleyes:B):lol:

How did I forget Better Off Dead, the early John Cussack comedies were great.

Rather off beat and so bad it was good - "The Hunchback Hairball".

I also quite liked Crazy People with Dudley Moore & Darryl Hannah.

I loved most of the old Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin films as a kid.

the old martin & lewis movies were classic!

a few years ago when i joined netflix i re-visited some of them. i even saw some of jerrys films after "the break-up."

"cinderfella" was good.filmed at the same mansion that was used for the exteriors of the "beverly hillbillies" tv show & they showed the REAL pool area & more of the actual gardens.plus duke ellington & his band were featured in a musical number.great film!

the "prince of snarkness."

 

still "warning-free."

You can't beat some of those old classics with Jerry Lewis. Also Abbott and Costello and Laurel and Hardy movies were great.

I also think Anger Management was really funny.

A more recent one was Idiocracy, a little unusual but funny nonetheless.

I agree with Wal , on #1, my list is:

1. Night at the Opera

2. Dumb and Dumber

3. Blazing Saddles (probably was a more accurate portrayal of the west than most folks believe)

4. Disorderly Orderly ( Jerry Lewis film)

5. Monkey Business (Marx Brothers)

6. Every thing you wanted to know about Sex but was afraid to ask...

7. Road to Hong Kong ( Bob Hope-- I may be mixing up the "road to "movies but there is a scene where he is giving laughing gas

8. Austen Powers --- ( sight gags were great )

Best regards,

Ed

I was wondering when someone would mention "Life of Brian" - one of my all-time favorites. Ah..."Young Frankenstein" - had forgotten about that one. Was "History Of The World" mentioned? (Ah - it's on Daryl's list.)
