Favorite Comedy Movies (1 Viewer)

"What do YOU mean, you people"

"Hey, where da white women at?"

"Franks and beans!"

"Oh man, that's pee!"

"I feel like a gynecologist for a grizzly bear."

First 3 are easy...last is my favorite.

I made one for Sci-Fi, why not comedy?

Clue is 100% my number one. The rest are in no particular order and can fluctuate. So many great movies to choose from. But this list I feel has the 12 that I basically I will always watch if it's on or someone wants to watch it.

1. Clue
2. Galaxy Quest
3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
4. Groundhog Day
5. Spaceballs
6. Back to the Future
7. Office Space
8. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
9. Big
10-11. Both new Jumanji movies
12. Game Night

Cool thing I noticed is that while I like R rated comedies, there aren't many I would include on this list. I don't find most of them that rewatchable. I think the best comedies are ones that don't have to rely on R rated humor to be funny.

I think it might be a problem that I've seen and enjoyed all of these...except your #1, Clue. I guess I should get that to the top of my queue.

Comedy? Looks like real life to me. Why do you think that you don't see any IBM Portables and Commodore 64s (with that potentiometer-controlled baud rate) around any more?

(Can't believe I left the Big Lebowski, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Fargo, Princess Bride, and Young Frankenstein off my list...).
 
My list, in no particular order, off the top of my head and subject to edit:

The Big Lebowski
Clerks
Office Space
Dumb and Dumber
There's Something About Mary
Meet the Parents
Swingers
Old School
Elf
Groundhog Day
Multiplicity
Outside Providence

*edit to add*

Road Trip
Superbad
The Naked Gun

I don't often remember lines or songs from movies, but I can't forget the Montage Song:
"Show a lot of things happenin' at once
Remind everyone of what's goin' on (What's going on)
And with every shot, show a little improvement
To show that it all would take too long

[Chorus]
That's called a montage (Montage!)
Ooh, we want a montage (Montage!)

In anything, if you want to go
From just a beginner to a pro
You need a montage (Montage!)
Even Rocky had a montage (Montage!)"

I have a lot of trouble seeing M*A*S*H* as a comedy, actually... Maybe it's a matter of individual experience.

Maybe "wacky" would be better than "funny"? Probably my "sense of humor" is off... I thought Kelly's Heroes was funny and I think I was the only one laughing in the theater here:


(For full disclosure, IMO war isn't funny and homicide isn't funny, especially non combatants, but I think "you just don't lead them so much" is pretty dang funny)
 
Mine are.... (in no particular order)

Planes Trains and Automobiles
Big Lebowski
Old School
Idiocracy
Kingpin
Three Amigos
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
Trading Places
Holy Grail
The Jerk
Happy Gilmore
Billy Madison
Friday
Zoolander
40 year old virgin
This is the End
Something about Mary
Bull Durham
National Lampoons Vacation/Europe/Christmas
Rat Race
Baseketball
Army of Darkness

I'm forgetting a TON, lol
