What Is Your Fave Big Screen Comedy??

[BlackLagoon]

I'm sure we switch off of monsters sometimes for a good laugh. What are some movies you find yourself laughing at as if it were the 1st time you've seen it? Personally, I have quite a few..but to start with I'll share the 5 comedies that I dont think I could live without when I need a laugh.

Anchorman.  I quote this movie constantly..when I'm getting ready to go out.."60% of the time, it works everytime."

Spies Like Us. I think this is probably the most underrated comedy EVER. The "test" scene alone is worth the price of the dvd.

A Christmas Story. Prob one of my fave non-monster movies ever..."but it wasnt fudge, it was the F--- word." Classic.

Beverly Hills Cop. Comedy/Action I guess, I love this movie and still hum the theme regularly. "We're not gonna fall for the bannana in the tail pipe trick".

#1 Without a doubt is.....Caddyshack! Do I even need to quote anything, or say anything about this movie???

Goonies
Arsenic and old lace
Support your local sheriff
Christmas Story
Man's favorite sport
It happened one night
any of the Harold Lyold movies

[Illoman]

Strange Brew
Any Marx Brothers film
Spinal Tap

[tv horror]

Duck soup and any Laurel and hardy film,  modern films I would go with Airplane. "Whys that table set for four? Thats nothing I have my alarm set for eight". "A horse can be brought to water but a pencil must be lead".

Sons of the Desert (Laurel & Hardy)
A Christmas Story
Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different
Revenge of the Pink Panther

Some good choices there and throw me in the Marx Bros. pile.  I'll add BLAZING SADDLES and IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD.  Let's throw in some Abbott & Costello too.

Caddyshack.  Love that Rodney Dangerfield!

The first two that come to mind happen to be monster related:  A&C Meet Frankenstein and Ghostbusters.

IT'S A GIFT (W.C. Fields)
YOU'RE TELLING ME (Fields again)
ANIMAL CRACKERS (Marx Bros.)
NIGHT AT THE OPERA (Marx Bros.)
THE RULING CLASS (Peter O'Toole)
THE WRONG BOX (Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore)
HIGH ANXIETY (Mel Brooks)

[Halloween Jeff]

Gotta agree with "Caddyshack".  Also "Animal House", the original "Producers", "Serial" still funny after 20 plus years, and it has Christopher Lee....

IT'S A GIFT (W.C. Fields)
YOU'RE TELLING ME (Fields again)

There's Robert again, showing his excellent taste in comedians!!

Any of the Guest/Levy works (Waiting For Guffman, A Mighty Wind, Best In Show, For Your Consideration... and yes Illoman, Spinal Tap!).

No Time For Sergeants. Just incredibly funny.

The Great Race.

Any Laurel & Hardy. Our Gang. Harold Lloyd.

I'll often have DVD marathons of The Andy Griffith Show.

A big YES, too, on the Guest/Levy ones.  Brilliant stuff.

2 great ones! I love anything that has to do with old SNL...as far as I'm concerned Dan Aykroyd is a genius. I think it is pretty official we wont be seeing Ghostbusters III...which stinks. At least the resurgance and intrest in the new toys is good news.

A&C Meet Frankenstein could probably have an entire section on this forum alone. I think this movie was my introduction to monsters and where I was initially bitten by the bug. If I watched A&C on "mute" I think I would still laugh

You've listed some good ones.  Planes, Trains and Automobiles.   40 Year Old Virgin, because it has Monster Toys!
