Greatest Comedy Movie ever...


there are dozens of greats...share a title and your reasoning...and be nice...goodness you are a punchy bunch;)
I say 'Spinal Tap'
1. Who the hell doesnt love satire
2. I LOVE METAL FOREVER!!! but it is all pretty ridiculous:/
3. Fran Drescher in a hilarious role (i admire this lady a bunch!)
4. The actual music led to cult status for a band that never was:)))
5. I admired the little moments (herpes sores during interviews, tasteless album covers...)
This may be my fave comedy...enlighten me MC'ers!

The first one that came to my mind is the original Pink Panther. Probably not sophisticated enough for today's audiences.

reply

Sophisticated enough for me!!
The Cato ambushes were enough to sell me:)
Great comedy series
GOLD!
Great call

reply

Still one of the best!

Trading Places.

1) Fun prince and the pauper story.
2) Keen questions about class, race and gender are brought up.
3) Highly quotable.
4) Some great cameos within an already brilliant cast.
5) Perfect for Christmas viewing.
6) Possibly the greatest soundtrack ever.
7) Jamie Lee Curtis' tatas.

Eddie at his finest and JLC's boobs...perfect stuff
Nice!

Some Like It Hot

A Night at the Opera

The Bank Dick

just about any Road Runner cartoon

Paris Hilton's sex tape

Richard Nixon's "Checkers" speech

reply

That 'Checkers' speech might stand as the greatest example of American political satire ever...and the most unintentional...which could be a whole other thread;.)))
A really ridiculous moment in time
Wow R_Kane! You brought it again buddy!

reply

My favorite line from that speech: "America can't stand pat!"

Mrs. Nixon's given name was Patricia, and she was generally referred to as Pat.

reply

Good point lol
I admired Nixon...he got my country out of a meat-grinding hellhole and i applaud him for that (too many of our boys gave all for people that just gave up...)
If he didnt pull one stupid stunt too many he would be an American legend...he just made a couple of bad calls is all

1. Crooked Hillary barking like a dog.

It's not only absolutely hilarious its also a very honest and sweet movie about teenage and growing up. Jonah Hill, Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are perfect in their roles. I rarely give movies the perfect score and even more rarer for comedies but this is a 10/10.

reply

It was fantastic and laugh out loud...
McLovin made the film...even minus him it was really great
10/10 agreed...and yes...sweet coming of age tale too!

reply

I watched some episodes of norman wisdome,yesterday.I was laughing so hard...amazing.

reply

Thanks im not that familiar with his act
I have to google that
Most appreciated!

reply

You welcome😉

reply

Lots of obvious choices.

For some, it might come down to Cops And Robbersons vs. Ghost Dad.

Still, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang gave us a run for our money, didn't it? That one had almost everything-- comedy, cars, action/adventure, mystery, love. Not so much in the violence department, but there were some loud sounds, like stuff was broken.

Delirious isn't for kids, but it's supposed to be good.

For the rest, funny can mean anything with one of the Colemans, Dabney or Gary.

"Hers stink too, you know, Hotshot; she didn't even have to hold any in!"

Galaxy Quest

By Grapthar’s hammer, what a funny movie!

reply

This one was just ok for me Tex
Sigourney Weaver however...i still cannot believe how crazy-hot-sexy she was in this one (and she was always very attractive) all blonde and stuffed into that space suit...yum
Her hottest performance imo...unless were counting the finale in Ghostbusters where she was all sexed-up and possessed by that Babylonian guy?
I think i just derailed my own thread with sexy Sigourney talk...
Well worth it;)

reply

She was definitely a vision.

reply

And i may add benny hill,mr.bean,and stan & bran series.

reply

Benny and Bean hell yeah!!!
Great shows and so many laughs:)
Stan and bran im unaware of tho

reply

It's an old series,oh and charlie chaplin😉
