Me too, and Happy Gilmore.

I'm also Irish, so I'll drop everything to watch The Snapper when it's on TV.

Parenthood - how this does not get more recognition baffles me; stellar cast, dialogue, the whole lot.

A Cock and Bull Story

I love this, probably one of my favourite films and an underrated gem!! If anyone was a fan of The Trip with Coogan and Bryson, watch this.

Midnight Run has got a few mentions, the chemistry between De Niro and Groden is fantastic, and De Niro is actually funny and not just playing the straight guy. Another one of my favourites and not just comedy.

Groundhog Day - love it, pity about Andy McDowell and her poretry.

Also, haven't seen MASH mentioned yet, I also love that film. "Don't let him kiss you Hawkeye!"

Alan Partridge - Alpha Papa is pretty funny.

Caddyshack 1 & 2!!!

Airplane and Dumb and Dumber.
You just dont get sore belly laughs like that anymore.

The original version of the producer. The scene with Zero Mostel pretending to a be the chauffeur Randolpho so he can con money out of the old lady and many other gems. The film never fails to make me laugh.

MeatTwoVeg

Life of Brian.
Airplane.
Withnail and I.

Others I forgot:

Brewster's Millions (Richard Pryor and John Candy)
Up in Smoke (Cheech and Chong)
Cheap Thrills (More like a dark comedy but still good)
Bruce Almighty
Uncle Buck
Without a Paddle

Man there is just too many.

I dunno... If we're talking all time comedy movies the naked gun and airplane have to take the top spots.

Duck Soup

Life of Brian ( Excuse me, are you the Judean People's Front? Fcuk off! 'Judean People's Front'? We're the People's Front of Judea! 'Judean People's Front'. ****.)
Airplane (Surely you can't be serious? I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.).
Duck Soup (Go, and never darken my towels again.)

Alec Guinness was brilliant in that. The Ladykillers is another excellent Ealing comedy that he was great in. It's a pity the Cohen Brothers, who I'm a big fan of, felt the need to remake it with Tom Hanks as it was a pale imitation.

Next time you watch the Ladykillers

Sideways is a gem. 96% on rotten tomatoes.

The Committments

....maybe because it came out when I was 18 and it reminds me of a certain time in life. Still find it funny......

It's amazing how much ****e you can get outta such a small dog.

God sent him.........on a fcukin Suzuki?

They'll be eating chips out of our knickers.

Airplane and Blazing Saddles. Nothing has come close in the intervening decades.

Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here.

ZV Yoda

Some great shouts so far. I'd also add:
LA Story
Ted
The Hangover
Talladega Nights
I Went Down
The Nutty Professor

Capt'n Midnight

Kung Fu Hustle. It's an affectionate parody of all those Kung Fu film that have a big of comedy in them.

Has also been described as Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton meet Quentin Tarantino and Bugs Bunny.

Capt'n Midnight

¡Vampiros en La Habana! something a little different, YMMV

I agree it's a great film, but I don't really think of it as a comedy--more a coming-of-age story with some funny moments.

Capt'n Midnight

Hot Fuzz , Just so much foreshadowing. It's worth watching again for the greater good.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show - apparently some people like this
Monsters, Inc. - don't forget the out takes at the end
Delicatessen
Sleeper
The Wrong Trousers

Did Beetlejuice get a mention?

and come Christmas i`ll chip in Elf

My taste changes depending on mood but all I can think of for this thread is In Bruges. It's obviously quite dark for a comedy but some parts are genuinely hilarious. I dont normally like Colin Farnell but his delivery in this is excellent.

Totally forgot about The Room.

The fact that it's supposed to be serious makes it even funnier.

dinneenp

Hard to make a definitive list.

Blazing Saddles, Airplane, Groundhog Day, Dumb and Dumber all obvious ones.

Not sure if these ones have been mentioned-
The Odd Couple
the man with 2 brains
Clerks (presume mentioned)

Slap Shot.
Always liked that one.

Atoms for Peace

A fish called wanda wasn't been mentioned yet and How to get ahead in advertising is another decent comedy featuring Richard e grant.

I thought Borat and Bruno were hilarious, probably not to a lot of peoples' tastes though.
