Young Frankenstein.

Blazing Saddles.

Dragnet (just for the goat trousers).

EricTheWeary · October 2019

Airplane

Naked Gun (almost the same movie I know)

Carry On Up The Khyber

I think why I can return to them is that the writing is so packed, there's no filler. They all play with racial and other stereotypes as well but rarely fall foul of modern sensibilities ( well, given a generous point of view) so ther is an added edge of the seat aspect to them now.

Spinal Tap and Blazing Saddles could have made the list, possibly Shaun of the Dead ( again tight writing and lots of ahh I'd forgotten that moments).

Googling top funny movies it's odd what makes the lists. Ghostbusters is usually up there and I don't think of that as a comedy at all ( it's a film with funny bits). Maybe add Groundhog Day to my list if that's counted as comedy then, again super tight writing.

Don’t quite know how but I’d forgotten about Airplane.

If you edited your post then YouTube links disappear and come up as stills. Quirk of the forum software presumably.

I'll say Anchorman because nobody else has yet, but I don't think I'd want to watch it again. Got my fill as a youth. And what an abysmal sequel!

Spinal Tap / Naked Gun

I agree Team America is great, plus also Napoleon Dynamite, Kingpin, Shaun of the Dead.

Would add Stir Crazy and See No Evil Hear No Evil.

I'm a big Will Ferrell fan, and my favourite film of his is Blades of Glory. Such a funny film! Two guys ice dancing together.

Another fave is Liar liar. Classic Jim Carrey, the 'set piece' scenes make me laugh so much every time: "The pen is blue!!!" "I'm kicking my ass!" etc etc

I'd have to think about a 3rd one ...

Team America. Satire at its best. Proper laugh out loud stuff.

Battlefield Earth. There's so much wrong with it, you can't help laughing.

Avatar. Ditto.

Gassage · October 2019

1) A Shot in the Dark

2) A Fish Called Wanda

3) Airplane!

A Shot in the Dark still has me in hysterics.
