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.

The Princess Bride. There is nothing wrong with this movie. It is PERFECT.
A Fish Called Wanda made me decide I wanted to have Kevin Kline's babies.
Josie and the Pussycats made me change my mind and decide I wanted to have Rosario Dawson and Parker Posey's babies. It also made me realize that orange is the new pink, Heath Ledger is totally jerkin', and that josieandthepussycatsisthebestmovieveer(jointhearmy)!
The Mummy series.
UHF. Weird Al made a movie, people, and it is glorious.
Anything and everything Monty Python.
And last, but not least...
VAN HELSING.

Josie and the Pussycats completely rocks. Or is that Mr Moviephone talking?
