Funniest film?

whiskeyman

Airplane is class... along with the Naked Gun Series.

But Roddy Doyles The Snapper is just brilliant.
Cant see it on DVD anywhere though... only the Committments (its ok, but nowhere near as funny)
Never laughed so much...

spoofilyj

In my opinion its a toss up between...

Hotel paradeso (with the guys from bottom)
Bill and Teds excellent adventure!
Waynes world 2
and
The Life of Brian.
also
Father of the Bride

Bill and Teds excellent adventure!
Waynes world 2

Ah yes. Forgot about these. Sheer classics!

Neuro

Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb.

That would be the original starring Spencer Tracy, and not the pathetic Steve Martin remake (whatever happened him - he used to be funny), I presume?

penguinbloke

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Jerk and The Man With Two Brains

Three of Steve Martins Best

Larianne

Clue is one of my favorite Comedies but it's never on TV!!
Also
Airplane
Hot Shots
Loaded Weapon
Planes Trains and Automobiles
Uncle Buck
Father Of The Bride
Austin Powers 2
Some Like It Hot
Groundhog Day
The Money Pit
Blazing Saddles

I prefer the older comdies. Stuff out these days is all kinda the same..All those Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell stuff. Although I thought Bad Santa was great!

Garibaldi

Le Chevre - Class film about the unluckiest man alive, sent to find the unluckiest girl alive with Gerard Depardieu. It was on TG4 a few months ago and it very nearly killed me.

Schindlers List

true but you cant beat MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL :cool:

Dr. Dre

Anchorman
Office space

Firewalkwithme

The Odd Couple (1968) staring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon is a classic. This was where all that 'Grumpy Old Men' stuff that they did later came from.

Highly recommended if you've never seen it.

Unit00

Yeopgijeogin geunyeo - Its a Korean comedy about a bloke and his girlfriend. It is simply the funniest film I have ever seen. Shown for one day in the IFI. Though you can get it on DVD.

Then in second place
Oh brother where art thou! An amazing film

Tobias Greeshman

1. Monthy Python and the Holy Grail

[Edit]: Forgot about Roddy Doyle classics

Banterville

Love the bit where Starsky asks Hutch which one of the beautiful girls he wants. Hutch Replies "the one on the left"...
Starsky replies: "good becuase i'll take anything!!!!"

That scene when they wake up on the floor of the prison cell and go to put their trousers on. Richard Prior: " I can't feel my leg!! I can't feel my leg!!". Had me in tears.

In terms of laugh out loud comedy, There's Something About Mary ,for me.

The Evil Dead films were excellent aswell. I loved Ash. Thought he was dead funny.

Still cant believe only one person said the Evil Dead films. The flying eyeball going into yer ones mouth was defiantly the funniest thing I ever saw in a film. And the really cheep special effects are great

toiletduck

1.Dont be a menace in south central while drinking your juice in the hood
2. National Lampons Loaded Weapon
3. This is Spinal Tap
4. National Lampons Animal House
5. All the naked gun movies
6. Hot shots

Shad0r

Theres Something About Mary
Southpark: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
American Pie
Austin Powers 3

I'm basing these choices on how hard I laughed when I went to see them in the cinema.

grimsbymatt

In terms of how hard I laughed, then Naked Gun 2.5 - it had me and my mates rolling in the aisles at the cinema.

But I was a youngster then, my taste's a lot different now - of more recent films, I thought Life Aquatic and Lost in Translation (Bill Murray rules!) were both very funny and extremely charming.

Others: Big Lebowski, Dr. Strangelove ("Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"), Withnail & I, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Stir Crazy, See No Evil Hear No Evil, The Producers (Gene Wilder also rules!)... etc.
