I've recentlty seen one of these movies and thought it was better than expected, but since I can't discuss it in a general movie thread it's now a game. What is the best movie to star two of 4 modern day Hope & Crosby (Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, or Vince Vaughn)? Have I missed any?
Anchorman
Dodgeball
Meet the Fockers
Meet the Parents
Old School
Royal Tenenbaums
Starsly & Hutch
Wedding Crashers
Zoolander
Vote one off. My vote: it would be Meet the Fockers but I haven't seen it. So, I vote Old School.

Perhaps we need to clarify this general thread business. I think a thread that narrows down from movies to discussion about a set of movies or comparisons of actors/directors/styles/whatever is different than a thread that says "If you saw a good movie list it here."
The purpose is to have MORE threads about specific discussion in general chat, not a few really broad threads. :)
Haven't seen Zoolander, which would be my pick, so I'll vote off Anchorman.

Dodgeball, since it frankly is not funny in the slightest.

Well, I think they both have moments. But Dodgeball has more, scary though that may be.
But if I hear one person say, "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball" I'm going to put the theory to test. There is just nothing funny about that to make it worth quoting.

| Rip Thorn sitting in wheelchair throwing wrenches at a high school student isn't funny? How about the guy from RadioNews unsuccessfully running through traffic? I like my movies dumb (e.g. Dodgeball), but not purposefully odd (e.g. Napoleon Dynamite). |

Of course slapstick is funny (that's why I'd have a tough time voting off Meet the Parents), but it isn't funny when you quote the line by itself as the funniest line in the movie.

| But you did say "there is just nothing funny about that to make it worth quoting." I'm not defending quoting Dodgeball other than "Arghhh" when the whistle blows. |

I haven't seen all those. But I reckon it's a toss up between Royal Tenenbaums and Anchorman.

You're right Darwin, I worded that poorly. I meant the quote itself isn't funny when I said "that". As for Royal Tenenbaums, I thought that movie was funnier than many on that list.

We need a vote. I haven't even seen all of the movies.

I haven't seen anchorman, get rid of that.
That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

I vote off Meet The Fockers, because I haven't seen it. Take that!
Dean, seriously, you need to be careful suggesting quoting Stiller/Wilson/Ferrell movies round me, it may set off a relapse.

I vote off Meet The Fockers, because it's a steaming pile of crap. And I don't think I'll participate in the next round cause I haven't seen any of the other movies mentioned. Oh wait, I've seen the Royal Tenenbaums. That was ok.

Off Starsky and Hutch, even if I haven't seen Anchorman and Oldschool. I was really disapointed.

| Right now it seems to be a tie: 2 votes for Starsky & Hutch, Anchorman, and Meet the Fockers. Any last vote? |
