I was jaded after the turn of the century and have hated all new movies since then. Looking back some of those 00's movies can be refreshing but I'm wondering what are the true comedy classics from the time in the vein of Animal House or Porky's. I've come up with 40 year old Virgin, Harold and Kumar and Dodgeball.
shareBorat
The Hangover
Hot Fuzz
Shaun of the Dead
Term America
Tropic Thunder
Zoolander
Loved Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz even more. The third one that Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg did together The World's End is not nearly as good. Still is fun though.
With the Hangover, Borat and Zoolander all getting sequels, it's a surprise they haven't done one for Tropic Thunder or Team America.
Some greats already mentioned. Adding few others that have made me laugh a lot over repeated viewings:
The Dish (2000)
Kung Fu Hustle (2004)
The Whole Nine Yards (2000)
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
Windy City Heat (2003) - I didn't even believe the premise *after* the first time seeing it, but after some research, the whole film really is an elaborate practical joke on one truly thick individual.
Kung Pow, Yes!
Freaking love that one. So silly, so fun! Wee u, wee u!
You just happened to pick the time period when the funniest movie ever was released:
Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
Bedazzled
Bend it like Beckham
American Pie
Meet the parents
Elf
School of Rock
High Fidelity
