It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Animal House
The Life Of Brian
Wake Me When It's Over.

[Kali]

7. Dark Star

Repo Man

most any Monty Python, Big Lebowski

[HopeHoops]

9. "Dark Star" is classic. I saw it at Balticon (on film) the year it came out (80?)

I saw "Hardware Wars" there as well. That's still hilarious - and available on YouTube, but in two parts.

[HopeHoops]

8. "Murder By Death"

[Cannikin]

10. Clue, Airplane!, Holy Grail

OH! Young Frankenstein.

[kid shelleen]

[nolabear]

13. Some Like it Hot.

Next, everything The Marx Brothers ever did.

The Full Monty

Raising Arizona

Hmmm...I'm thinkin', I'm thinkin'!

On edit, all of the Christopher Guest troupe's films, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind

[emilyg]

32. Some Like it Hot - definitely. Arsenic and

Old Lace. Tootsie.

[Duer 157099]

14. Peter Sellers films pass the test of time

The Pink Panther films in particular, but not only.

[Forkboy]

22. He was a genius.

Dr. Strangelove is my fave, but as you say, there's many more. :)

[hamsterjill]

27. "That's not my monkey"

Gets me every time!!! Cracks me up!

[KittyWampus]

35. Being There- genius.

[Graybeard]

15. The Court Jester, Mon Oncle,The Ladykillers(1955)

Many that have already been named are on my list
including all Monty Python and I would add:

Just about all Laurel & Hardy
O Brother, Where Art Thou
Young Frankenstein

[grasswire]

16. Victor Victoria, always

The original "In-Laws"

O Brother

Front Page

The Producers

Nothing will ever outshine Victor Victoria for me.

RIP Blake Edwards. RIP Robert Preston.

[stuntcat]

60. aww :)

That was one of my favorites ever since I was a kid and they used to replay it a lot on HBO. Now if I watch it I get weird deja-vu feeling :)

[Richardo]

17. The In-Laws (1979), and:

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
O Brother Where Art Thou?
The Hudsucker Proxy

[Kceres]

44. Wow. You got every one of mine! I would rate list them a little differently, but you got 'em all.

[Richardo]

56. !

We're comedy connoisseurs, aren't we? :pals:

[Demoiselle]

77. The Alan Arkin In-Laws is the first I thought of too...

All I have to do is think of Alan Arkin and I haz a giggle. To say nothing of flames on my car. Madeline Kahn affects me the same way...so I do love Young Frankenstein as well.

[pacalo]

18. Mine:

Vacation
Christmas Vacation
Working Girl
Cactus Flower
Dumb & Dumber

This doesn't make my "favorite" list, but "Date Night" with Tina Fey & Steve Carell was pretty good! It's worth renting JUST for the first Mark Wahlberg scene (TRUST ME, ladies)!!!

Edit to add youtube clip: http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=Aj6lROCuhvA

[Patiod]

19. Full Monty, Galaxy Quest, The Producers, Shaun of the Dead, The Hangover

The first time I saw the Producers was on TV, and I was alone. I remember thinking "wow, this is dated" and then they did the Springtime for Hitler bit, and I literally laughed so hard I cried.

Also Tommy Boy and Uncle Buck, Animal House and Caddy Shack, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The 40-year-old Virgin, and M*A*S*H.

Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I don't really think of it as a comedy, although I guess it is. Tombstone is clearly a Western, but Val Kilmer gave one of the funniest performances I've even seen in a film.

[nolabear]

29. Shaun of the Dead was brilliant.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

80. And the same crew did "Hot Fuzz," which I rented from Netflix because

it was partly filmed in a town I stayed in when I went to England in 2007.

[Forkboy]

31. If you liked Shaun of the Dead, watch Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

It's not quite as good as Shaun was (which was an instant classic), but it's easily the best horror spoof since that one. I believe it gets a small theatrical run soon, then onto Video On Demand and DVD. It's easily the funniest, and most clever movie of this type since SotD.

Two lovable West Virginian hillbillies, are headed to their "fixer-upper" vacation cabin to drink some beer, do some fishin', and have a good time. But when they run into a group of preppy college kids who assume from their looks that they must be in-bred, chainsaw wielding killers, Tucker & Dale's vacation takes a bloody & hilarious turn for the worse.

[Patiod]

58. Tyler Labine was pretty funny in Reaper

Thanks for the heads-up

[Forkboy]

20. Snatch, Midnight Run, Fletch and Tapeheads

[WinkyDink]

21. "The Odd Couple."

[Brickbat]

23. Slapshot. CLASSIC. I love this clip because it's hilarious, and because the ref reminds me of Paul

Wellstone:

[kwassa]

24. Groundhog Day

a profound little comedy.

[Patiod]

One of my all-time favorites, regardless.

[A Simple Game]

25. Blazing Saddles especially and most Mel Brooks films generally. n/t

1. My Cousin Vinny....love, love, love it

2. The Golden Child

3. Stepbrothers

4. Private Parts

5. Bad Boys 1&2...that's more of an action comedy.

Not necesissarly in that order...except for My Cousin Vinny...probably my all time fav.
