Recomend Some Comedies
 

I just watched a absolute pile of dogs bollocks in Harold and Kumar #2....

I haven't had much luck finding good comedies the last few years, it feels like I've seen most of the classic comedies.. What can you horror experts recomend?

Something that is going to crack me up... ;)

Duck Soup, if you haven't seen it, Blazing Saddles, the Big Lebowski, It's a Living, the Bank Dick, the original Bedazzled, Lost Skeleton of Cadavra

Blazzing Sadles didn't do much for me, though I am a fan of other Mel Brooks movies.. Lebowski is a faveorite.. I haven't seen the others, I will look them up. cheers..

The Graduate, The Beatles Help! and A Hard Day's Night, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Dr. Strangelove.

I agree on Blazing Saddles, I just suggested it because everybody's seen Young Frankenstein.

The Pink Panther movies always make me smile.

the originals....not the shit with Steve Martin

Seen it, Seen it, Seen it, Seen it and seen it, thanks for the sugestions though, they are all top movies, The Life Aquatic was more of a good movie than one that made me laugh a lot.. It was very suttle.

Take your pick.

To tell you the truth, comedies have SERIOUSLY fallen flat in the last few years...


In very recent years, movies that seriously cracked me up:
Zoolander
40-Year-Old Virgin
Blades of Glory
There's Something About Mary
Kung Fu Hustle
Clay Pigeons
Rushmore
The Royale Tenenbaums
Best In Show


Movies that had funny moments, but the parts were greater than the whole:
Anchorman
Step Brothers


My personal favorites of Woody Allen:
Love and Death
Sleeper
Take the Money and Run
Annie Hall
Mid Summer Night's Sex Comedy


Older Gems:
Bringing Up Baby
Animal Crackers
A Night at the Opera
Arsenic and Old Lace
Some Like It Hot


Ones you've probably seen (or if you haven't, you SHOULD):
Caddyshack
Young Frankenstein
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Animal House
The Princess Bride
The Jerk
Roxanne
Airplane!
Raising Arizona
This Is Spinal Tap
Ghostbusters
A Fish Called Wanda
Groundhog Day
Scrooged
Austin Powers


Television that I find HILARIOUS
The Office (British)
The Office (American)
Arrested Development
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

I predicted you would post this link... If I wanted to go through the tournament I would have.. But I was looking for some personal recomendations....

I just watched George Carlin : You are all diseased , that lifted the bar a bit..

I could post hundreds of comedies I really enjoyed but instead I'll tell you that if I was going home right now to watch a comedy, I'd pop in one of three movies. Kung Pow!, Tommy Boy, or Mallrats

Some of my all-time favorites:

Clue
Super Troopers
Arsenic and Old Lace
Some Like it Hot
A Fish Called Wanda
Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail
Trading Places
Murder by Death
Beetlejuice
Buying the Cow
Caddyshack
Heathers
Saving Silverman
Spaceballs
The Great Outdoors
Wallace and Gromit
Zoolander
Tropic Thunder

im gonna git you sucka

step brothers

Oh, well, you're very WELCOME, Step, it's my pleasure! Gee, no need to flatter me like that, but it will get you EVERYWHERE.


:p

I recommend Run Ronnie Run from the guys of Mr Show. It's brilliantly funny. Also, Kids in the Hall Brain Candy is worth some great laughs.

I just watched Pineapple Express and thought it was hystarical. Don't know if that's the type of comedy you're looking for though.

Any out of the Scary Movie series, tickle your fancy? And are you more of a comedy movie person or do you prefer standup? Who are your fave comedians? What kind of humor are you into? That should help us, help you. :)

If you like Carlin, Denis Leary standup is always excellent. I'm a big fan of both.

Most of my suggestions have already been named...

Big Lebowski
Pineapple Express
Kung Fu Hustle
Super Troopers
Airplane!
The Naked Gun
Something About Mary
Dogma
Trainspotting

Yep, I think I know the problem, I've seen almost every funny movie ever made... But there are a few that have been sugested I wasn't aware of...

You checked out Where The Buffalo Roam?

My Favorites
Dr. Strangenlove
The Philadelphia Story

Ones you've probaly seen, but always could use a second look:
Kentucky Fried Movie
Thank You for Smoking
Stripes
Sixteen Candles

Yeah, actually a bit dissapointed with it... but it was o.k, just, didn't have as muchsoul as I expected.

Thankyou for smoking I should probably see again, if only for the Katie Holmes tity... ;)

Kentucky Fried Movie I haven't actually seen, nor The Philadelphis story... the others I have given overkill...

if you can find "The Groove Tube" , give it a looksee ...it would make a cool double feature with "Kentucky Fried Movie". Both a bit dated....but some fun will be had

Burn after Reading is by far the best comedy I've seen in a long time.

It's all gone Pete Tong
So I married an axe murderer (you've probably seen this...)
Blood Car
Eating Raoul
Idiocracy

glad to see someone showing some love for Idiocracy. A lot of people think it was lame, but i loved it, classic Mike Judge.

Blood Car sounds great, I have to get my hands or more so my eyes on that...

North To Alaska

A Shot In The Dark

Great films!!!!!

i thought it had a great start - but it really started to flounder half way through

Im amazed no-one has mentioned Monty Pythons Life of Brian, probably the funniest film Ive ever seen.

Another good one is Sideways.

i'm not going to check to see if i've repeated anyone - but if i have to recommend comedies based on the ones i like the best, these are some of mine :


- Raising Arizona
- After Hours
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Trading Places
- Billy Madison
- the jerk
- the man with 2 brains
- Harvey
- napoleon dynamite
- jay and silent bob strike back
- what's up doc
- animal crackers
- abbott and costello meet frankenstein
- jabberwocky
- bottle rocket
- mystery men
- its a mad mad mad mad world
- the blues brothers
- animal house
- noises off
- brain doners
- knocked up
- kiss kiss bang bang
- 1941
- johnny dangerously
- the dark backward
- dead men dont wear plaid
- freddy got fingered
- the visitors (both Fr and Eng versions)

I'm not suprised no one has mentioned Life of Brian, it's well known...

Sideways was one big pile of horse shit on the other hand.

Now that its been pointed out, it makes sense. I confess to having my 'stating the bleedin' obvious' hat on.


Hot Fuzz is another good comedy (although if you hate sideways and i love it, maybe our tastes are different?)
