For the dog:
What About Bob (starring Bill Murray)
original St Trinians (for the slapstick)
M*A*S*H (the tv series not movie)

My shadow:
A Carry On film (any, but avoiding the couple of duds)
Four Weddings....
Lock, Stock.....

and for me:
Snatch

Waking Ned
Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Wazmeister · October 2019

Way Out West - (the legends who started it all)

Dumb and Dumber

Something About Mary

Nitefly · October 2019

Hard to nail it down to just three, and most of mine have already been mentioned, but an old favourite is a black & white short called "Dinner For One", with Freddie Frinton and May Warden:

Apparently it's very popular in Germany, where they show it every year on TV on New Year's Eve.

Was Four Weddings meant to be a comedy?
I must've missed that bit.

I went out with a girl who's favourite comedy was Freddy Got Fingered. Needless to say the relationship was doomed after that.

It's the answer to a QI question, something to do with German Christmas traditions.
Reminds me, in a round about way, of The Plank which used to be shown a lot - whenever there was some kind of gap in the BBC schedule.

CB4

Drunken Master ( Importantly the original VHS English dubbed version)

Deadpool 2

McToot · October 2019

Lot's of good ones above. I'd probably go for:

MP's The Holy Grail
Withnail & I (GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN!!!)
Caddyshack

Edit swap one of the above (probably Caddyshack) for:

Animal House

See most of those films were in my head, but so hard to single any out, The Folksmen of Mighty Wind though, a weird Spinal Tap of some parallel universe...

Same people. Entertainingly, supported the Mighty Tap when I saw them at Wembley a decade or so ago.

Reverend · October 2019

What's up doc? Is contender.

Spaceballs? I can only assume that there are two films with the same title and I've seen the wrong one. Its Me Brook' St Anger.

TonyR · October 2019

Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me
Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery
Life of Brian

No matter how many times I watch either of the two Austin Powers films I’m in stitches. Unfortunately Goldmember doesn’t come close.

Here they are, in character and out:

Most of my favourite comedy films have been mentioned, but I’d like to add A Funny Thing Happened on The Way To The Forum. A Richard Lester movie from the late 60s. And it actually looks good, which many comedies don’t - the laughs taking precedent over the actual skill of film-making.

phil_b · October 2019

Schindler's List

American History X (although I did not see the first 9)

the human centipede

Their most recent film, Mascots, is great too!

munckee · October 2019

Neither is in the funniest films but I watched Shaun of the Dead and Daddy's Home yesterday with my 14 year old daughter. She liked Shaun of the dead more I think.

Will Ferrell I find hilarious occasionally but likeable and watchable most of the time.

Howdy, Stranger!
