1. Airplane
2. Animal House
3. A Night at the Opera
4. Pink Panther Strikes Again
5. Christmas Vacation

 

My personal faves:

Skin Deep
Napolean Dynamite
Blades of Glory
Superbad

Top 5...no particular order...

Spaceballs
Elf
Anchorman
Liar Liar
Office Space


next 5
48 hrs
Borat
Team American: World Police
Blazing Saddles
Super Troopers

 

Anchorman and Officespace could easily be in my top 5

 

wtf

 

The Nazis' reactions to the prospect of being shipped off to Russia was kinda humorous:

 

This is a smear! You edited my post!

 

Some other good ones:

Dumb and Dumber
Crazy People
The Dreamteam
Fish called Wanda
Four Weddings and a Funeral

 

Blazing Saddles is the GOAT comedy imo.

I would have put more thought into my 2-5

 

01. Kingpin
02. Friday
03. Bachelor Party
04. The Stoned Age
05. Arthur

Even though Sideways was not a pure comedy, I thought it was as funny as fuck. The unintentional funny lines from Thomas Hayden Church's character was classic.

 

Yeah. Sideways was indeed hilarious. Both characters were so fucked in the head. .

 

Kingpin was hilarious too. And it reminds me that Big Lebowski certainly qualifies as a comedy and should've been on my list.

 

Dr. Strangelove deserves mention. Its gotta be the GOAT dark comedy.

 

Commentator: (Big Ern) "has clearly done for bowling what Muhammad Ali did for boxing"

 

I dunno if it's objectively top 5 greatest, but The Great White Hype is one of my top 5 favorite comedies.

 

Big Lebowski somehow gets funnier everytime i watch it. Which is some trick.

I also found Man Bites Dog pretty belly-aching in places, albeit pitch black comedy.

 

FUCK...how could I forget...

and

Bad Santa...

 

1. Airplane!
2. Blazing Saddles
3. Young Frankenstein
4. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
5. Tie: Top Secret! & The Naked Gun

 

funniest is tough but I love these:
Three Amigos
What About Bob?
Kingpin
The Burbs
Big Lebowski

 

Good call on What About Bob ! One of Bill Murray's very best.

 

Totally agree. Saw Big Lebowski in the theater and loved it. But I hadn't come close at that point to realizing all its hilarity. One reason is I was in my early 20's when I first watched it. So seeing a guy write a check to buy a half gallon of milk, for example, didn't strike me as all that funny. But now it cracks me up. But that's only part of it. Another aspect is picking up on how dysfunctional the characters are. They're nutty enough to be hilarious. But also realistic enough to be appalling.

 

Kingpin has all kinds of memorable lines in it. One of my favorites:

Reporter: And what about the paternity suit?
Big Ern: Uh, I don't really wanna talk about it...and I pulled outta her WAY early!

Or when the old landlady is getting attacked, the two guys in the background just sit there and do nothing. When Roy throws coffee in his face and he runs off, one if them yells out,"PUSSY!"

 

'Sure there was pressure! I didn't want to get beat by a guy with a hook, you know?'
