I am talking, REALLY funny films. Films that have you in tears, not the ones that make you smirk occasionally 'cos you think they are clever in the way an Oscar Wilde play might. I vote for:
Dumb And Dumber (I quote it a lot)
Caddyshack
Airplane
Airplane II
Big Bus
Three Amigos
National Lampoon's Vacation
National Lampoon's European Vacation
I probably missed some. Thinking about it though, I haven't seen a great comedy in years. And they say that the horror genre is dying.

Monty Python's Holy Grail, Life Of Brian and Meaning of life.
Planes Trains And Automobiles, Steve Martin waking up in the arms of John Candy made me pee meself.
Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther films.
Caddyshack, well I thought it was very funny when I saw it as a little kid. Is a chocolate floating in a pool masquerading as a turd still funny?
Waynes World. Someone please tell me this one is still funny.

"C'est arrivé près de chez vous" is the funniest film ever. Unfortunately, only people from France and Belgium know it.

The most quoted movies around the house are the lamest sci-fi horror b-movies.
Like, Laserblast...
or, I Eat Skin...
The Trilogy of Terror is also great. |

Damn it, how could I forget the Monty Python films!?!?!?
Oh and that scene in Caddyshack is far from the funniest scene. Though it's funny when Bill Murray's character eats it after cleaning out the pool. "It's not so bad".

Quite possibly... I haven't seen it in too long. Or TSAM. The one thing that stays with from that film is where the dog is attacking Ben Stiller and he sort of judo throws it out of the window. Fantastic.

Ok, so I'll deepen my reject status and just say it...I don't get "Dumb and Dumber". I couldn't watch it. I thought it sucked. I tried - really - to like it becuase so many people who I respect love it so much...but I can't. Most of the other movies listed above hit near the top of my list, so what am I missing? I loved the Three Stooges, Andy Kaufman, and most of the foundational comedy it was built on. Oh well - what the hell.
I would also add Schizopolis, Army of Darkness, the Belushi trilogy (1942, the Blues Brothers, Animal House), and Repo Man to the good list.

I had the same problem with "Dumb and Dumber", Spudboy.
Others have mentioned a bunch of 'em, but I like:
Airplane
Blues Brothers
Army of Darkness
Monty Python (entire library  )
Blazing Saddles
The Jerk
Young Frankenstein
Kentucky Fried Movie/Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (hillarious B-horror/comedy)
I'm Gonna Get You Sucka
Pootie Tang (You can't hurt a ho with a belt...they like that shit. I'm gonna sine your pitty on the runny kine.
Sa da TAY!")
Tons more, but I don't seem to be able to handle my glass and a half of wine. I'm all thunk out.
edit: another -it's a different breed of comedy, but one of my all-time favorite movies is "Bringing Up Baby".
If it is a Miracle, any sort of evidence will answer, but if it is a Fact, proof is necessary. -Samuel Clemens |

I love Swingers and Made, two of my all time fave comedies by actor/writer/director John Favreau, with great performances by Vince Vaughn. I never get tired of watching Made.
Rushmore is one of the funniest, most oft qouted movies around my crew. Freaking hilarious performance by Bill Murray, and great script by Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson.
Meet the Parents is one of the best studies in awkward comedies I've ever seen. Love the performance by Owen Wilson.
I think Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a very funny movie, and really well made.
I just watched Old School again, and granted it's stupid, but man is it funny. "Ah Denver, the Sunshine State. Gorgeous, gorgeous!".
As for older films, the movie "Clue" is fairly rare, but a real gem. Truly funny, and I catch something new every time I watch it. Which has been about million times thus far. |

I'm not the biggest fan of comedies. I prefer humor to be as natural as any other element of a film, I don't like it to be set up and seem contrived, which happens a lot when the sole purpose of the film is to make people laugh.
I like some of the Pink Panther films, but mainly for the scenes where he fights that karate/ninja assistant of his.
When I was younger, I thought Top Secret with Val Kilmer was one of the funniest films. I haven't seen it in some time now.
I actually think Dirty Work has some great moments. I know, it's really stupid, but funny.
I got a blast out of Frankenhooker. The scene where all the prostitues are exploding from smoking Super Crack is the best.
The Big Lebowski is one of the greatest comedies. The scene where the Chief of Police in Malibu hurls the coffee mug at the Dudes head is hysterical. My friend and I watched that scene over and over, laughing more each time.
Army of Darkness is a fantastic comedy. Each time I see it, I laugh at so many different sections. And I must've seen it over 10 times by now.
Woody Allen films can be good comedies. I think Play It Again, Sam is his best for sheer comedy. Perhaps Sleeper, though. Eh, I could go on and on. There's so many good Woody Allen films.

Dirty Work
Oh yeah, I just watched "American Movie" which is a documentary about this aspiring B movie director from Wisconsin. Hilarious!! Highly recommended!
"Stevie" is another one although disturbing as well.

Haha, have you seen the film that was being made in American Movie? Coven. Actually, while it's bad, it's not as bad as you'd think it is from watching it being made in American Movie. I can't wait till that guy makes his feature film. I think it's in production right now.
If you ever see Storytelling by Todd Solondz, Mike from American Movie is in that as the camera man for the documentary filmmaker. You gotta love that scream Mike bellows out in American Movie.

I think this is untrue. It's called Man Bites Dog in the USA, and I wouldn't call it funniest film ever. Actually I couldn't watch it entirely. We already discussed this movie on the forum.
Now if we're talking about French-speaking funniest films ever, I have to say I'm a big fan of Pierre Richard, esp. La Chêvre and Les Malheurs d'Alfred.

"Le Père Noël est une ordure"... Even though they show it on TV twice a year, it doesn't get old.
Anything by Monty Python.
"The Man With Two Brains".
"Serial Mom".
"Monkey Business" (Howard Hawks, 1952, with Cary Grant).
"Dr Strangelove".
Denis, I agree on "C'est arrivé...". It gets really sick... I can see where they want to get but I can't follow them.

You're right jedi, everytime they show the "Bronzés" on TV I swear "I'm not gonna see it this time", and I end up watching the whole movie and laughing my ass off.

Any of the Four Marx Brothers movies...The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, and Duck Soup. A Night at the Opera's OK, too.
The funniest movie ever is Death Wish 3. If you've ever enjoyed a movie because it's "so bad that it's good", you owe yourself the DW3 experience. Your life will be forever changed. Just came out on DVD, too!

I think my favorite Marx Bros. films would actually be Night In Casablanca and At The Circus.
Horse Feathers is great just for the song, "I'm Against It!"
