4. Crocodile Dundee (1986)
5. Uncle Buck (1989)
6. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988)
7. Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982)
8. 9 to 5 (1981)
9. Midnight Run (1988)
10. Back to the Future (1985)
11. Trading Places (1983) - Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy
shareThat is one of my all-time favorites. Maybe even No. 1
shareI just watched it a couple days ago. As funny as the first time.
shareI've never seen it! I'll have to check it out.
shareOh man. Great movie. You will not regret it, I promise. Another one I think is awesome - Office Space starring Ron Livingston.
It doesn't qualify for this thread (1999), but still shit your pants funny. It co-stars Jennifer Aniston. Might be her first movie.
Romancing the Stone
shareLove that movie. Kathleen Turner is real woman.
(That's a definite complement - for the SJWs out there)
(Sad that I feel the need to include that - the world is going to shit)
Mate, you didn't have to add it! "Kathleen Turner is a real woman" is a factual statement that you don't have to explain. If anyone objects to that, they're not an SJW, they're just an idiot.
Great pick once again Laura!
Yeah I know. She's fantastic. But I figured at least 50/50 some PC punk (I wanted to put something else here - see how insidious this crap is?) would bitch about it.
Ah well it's done.
Back to the Future? comedy?
You bet. Sure it's SF, too, but still a comedy.
shareI just thought Comedies try to have a certain level of comedy but would you put it in Sci fi Comedy like The Man with Two Brains or Sci Fi Action
shareMovies (books, tv series etc) don't have to be shoehorned into a specific genre. How would you classify Army of the Dead?
shareArthur (1981)
Fletch (1985)
Caddyshack (1980)
History of the World: Part I (1981)
The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980)
Easy Money (1983)
The Naked Gun 1988
shareMy favorite scene is Nordberg is in the hospital and Frank figures out he’s trying to tell him the name of the ship is “I love you” and he’s tells Ed “I realize that... now.”
The Naked Gun is definitely my favorite comedy of all time and part 2 and 3 are great too.
I love in the 2nd one when Frank delivers his environmental police captain speech to the crowd and he says “I want a world where I can eat a baby sea otter and not get sick!”
In my retirement years I want to be Leslie Nielsen.
