Favorite comedy films

I for one hate comedies. You'll never see me go to the cinema to watch a comedy. They are usually stupid and unfunny. Having said that, there have been a couple I like.

My favourite, hands down, is Trading places. Nothing comes even close.

What comedies do you fellas rank highly ?

 

My FAVORITE comedy is The Great White Hype. I shoulda also put it in the underrated thread.

Considering we're all boxing junkies, it's amazing we don't talk about it more often. It's a fuckin hilarious movie. I would make the argument that it's best comedy of the 90s.

 

Kingpin
Coming to America
Cultural learnings of America for make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan
Office Space
Groundhog Day
Team America

 

Let's do it again.

Second only to trading places. Classic film! Bootnie Farnsworth and 40 th street black. Now that I think about it I'm going to go and purchase it forthwith.

To each their own i guess.

 

Maybe....because it's actually shit? :dunno:

 

Hmmmm....each one to their own, indeed....

 

I was just going to post this.

 

Seriously?

 

Yeah seriously. It's not very good at all...

I'm srurpsied anyone thinks otherwise.... :scratcher:

 

"Great White Hype" is pretty fucking good. Mean Mr. Magus is just harboring some dark resentment that there's no highly thought of cult comedic romp out there called "The Big Bleck Bum". ::

 

Why? Because its about 'boxing'? ::

I know you guys are very precious about it...

 

There probably is a movie called that. You're right about it not being a comedy, but something in a slightly different genre.

 

You don't have to be a boxing fan to think TGWH is funny. Its a funny movie whether you follow the sport or not.

 

Airplane!

Coming To America

Raising Arizona

The Jerk

Spaceballs

to name a few...

 

Shit video quality...but THe Great White Hype is hilarious....

I loveee YOUuuu.......you my brotha...:drl:

 

I catch myself watching "Office Space" at least a couple times a year. I don't think there's any other comedy I can say that about.

Not to say it's the best, and I don't even laugh when I watch it anymore. It's just strangely compelling. I don't know if it's Ron Livingstons constant sly smirking face, or just the general who gives a fuckness about it.

 

Well I watch THE PRINCESS BRIDE a few times a year whenever I catch it on TV...I still laugh during the poison wine scene.

 

Maybe stop being so tacaño and buy it already.

 

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
Airplane
Something Funny Happened on The Way to the Forum
Wayne's World
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
Coming To America
Ace Ventura Pet Detective

 

agREED

This film was so bad is practically unwatchable.

 

never seen office space or great white hype, just ordered both

 

Office Space is okay, but I enjoyed better the underrated and little seen "Cedar Rapids".

 

most of the greats have been mentioned already. also add:

dumb & dumber
lebovski
Talladega nights, the other guys, and pretty much every other will Ferrell movie
stir crazy (just for a few scenes)

 

+ monty python and the holy grail

 

Ordered? what you mean??

 

Half Baked is my favorite comedy movie of all time. Most people here wouldn't think it's funny.
