apocalypsosOkay, for some ungodly reason I'm watching the 100 Funniest Movies list, and it's still pissing me off.
So name me your favorite funny movies. Not the best comedies, but the movies that make you laugh hysterically every time you see them.
My favorites?
The Princess Bride, which is one of my three favorite movies of all time, if we're counting the Terminator series and the "Irwin Allen's Attempt to Destroy The Planet in the '70s In Three Crappy Disaster Movies" trio of death and destruction as one movie each.
Arthur, because that movie keeps me laughing for two straight hours without fail.
A Fish Called Wanda, because Kevin Kline in that movie is the best thing on the planet after maple walnut ice cream.
Airplane!, because that's my dad's influence at work.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, because ... well, REALLY.
And an honorable mention to the scene in While You Were Sleeping where the paperboy goes to throw the newspaper from the icy sidewalk and his bike goes flying out from under him, if only because that scene never fails to KILL ME DEAD.

Date: 2006-05-28 08:28 pm (UTC)Life of Brian. Um. A Cock And Bull Story, which I don't even know if it has been or will be released in the states. Oh, Wallace and Gromit, definitely. A random film called The Actors with Michael Caine and Dylan Moran which I had never heard of until last week but I laughed myself silly all the way through. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. (Strangely? All British films. I know there are American comedies I love, they're just not occurring to me right now.)
Lots of things other people have said - Mel Brookses and Kevin Smiths and so on. Robin Hood: Men in Tights (or Prince of Thieves for differing values of funny). History of the World Part 1 is possibly my favourite actually - the Inquisition tap dance, just... yes. And Some Like It Hot, of course.
