What's your all-time favorite comedic movie?

[Blue in a Red State]

[rpannier]

1. Blazing Saddles

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

11. Agreed

Blazing Saddles was Mel Brooks' masterpiece. The ending is absolutely hilarious, and the sendup of westerns is soooo good!

[ohioliberal]

2. Ok, well what's yours?

:7

[Blue in a Red State]

8. Airplane 2

or Young Frankenstein

For a sweeter comedy, Purple Rose of Cairo

[otohara]

3. This Is Spinal Tap!

and then, Trains, Planes, Autombiles - I loved all of John Candy's movies.

[yardwork]

Yes! Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!!

I didn't think anyone else would pick it.

Dr. Strangelove is also very good.

[AVESGA]

4. Animal House

"Flounder... quit your blubberin'... you can't go around worryin' about your mistakes... you fucked-up! You trusted us!"
(seems a timeless quote...)

[NC_Nurse]

5. Young Frankenstein

then Spinal Tap....

and I love Hedwig and the Angry Inch too....a comedy and a musical too!

[robbedvoter]

6. The Producers (up to the trial/ prison part).

[xray s]

Local Hero

Not belly laugh funny, buy happy smile funny. My favorite.

[Fenris]

7. Love and Death

[Groggy]

48. Me too...hilarious!

My favorite Woody Allen movie besides Manhattan

[gristy]

9. Young Frankenstein

and Airplane. Both brilliant flicks. In their own way, of course.

[rockymountaindem]

10. Death to Smoochie

Which nobody else seems to like because it never gets any love around here when I bring it up.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

13. Four Weddings and a Funeral

(I also love "Local Hero," by the way).

[Demeter]

23. I Liked Smoochie, although it was rather dark

Ed Norton is a genius, and he doesn't get around enough.

[Metatron]

33. I have many friends who would agree with you!

I've never seen it.

[MrSlayer]

12. Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Slap Shot

All great and never stop being funny.

[Crunchy Frog]

14. Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Also like Life of Brian, Animal House, and early Woody Allen.

[CornField]

15. A Christmas Story

You'll shoot your eye out!

[Ekirh]

16. I am going to have to go with....

Probably The Holy Grail. Just so many things to quote, (Although going by that would have to include Airplane as well). I have the D.V.D of the Holy Grail and it's worth it for the Lego rendition of the Camelot scene alone.

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. The Life of Brian

was another great Python film.

[Demeter]

17. A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

Zero Mostel, Jack Guilford, Phil Silvers, etc, etc, the last of the Golden Age.

[Demeter]

19. The Importance Of Being Earnest

A classic comedy of manners!

[Demeter]

21. Young Frankenstein is also good, of course.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

18. Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Caddyshack

[SheilaT]

20. A Fish Named Wanda.

Also, Canadian Bacon and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

As many times as I've seen them, I still laugh hysterically.

[MuseRider]

22. Raising Arizona

Best In Show
Young Frankenstein
This Is Spinal Tap
Waiting For Guffman

God, I am so pissed watching the senate right now even this can't cheer me up. That is the best I can do at the moment.

[acmavm]

24. Arsenic and Old Lace, We're No Angels, Blazing Saddles,

Duck Soup, Local Hero, Grace Quigley.

[GreyPilgrim]

[motely36]

37. I love Christopher Guest's movie

My favorite is Waiting for Guffman

[jsascj]

46. A Mighty Wind is good too!

It takes a couple of times to really 'get it'. But after you do, it's right up there with his others.

[Metatron]

29. Dr. Strangelove

followed by Waiting for Guffman and Life of Brian

[Fleurs du Mal]

49. Ditto

and The Producers right behind it.

[Digit]

30. Something About Mary

[Mist]

32. Wow, a lot of personal favorites listed here!

(There's somebody else who also loves Funny Thing Happened....?)
Death to Smoochy is my newest favorite. THe original Ladykillers. An often-overlooked Woody Allen film, Bullets over Broadway. And a mid-60's comedy set in Victorian England: The Wrong Box. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are wonderful in it.

[Kahuna]

34. Gotta go with, Bring Up Baby.. A comedy masterpiece.

:thumbsup:

[Abies]

35. Three Amigos

I like it more now than I did when it came out.

[MuseRider]

36. Some Like It Hot

Blazing Saddles, The Producers, Night at the Opera

[tedoll78]

38. I'm gonna get slammed for this..

'Dumb & Dumber' is at or neat the top of my list. I laughed until I had a bloody asthma attack in the theatre.. I was tasting blood in the back of my throat at some parts of this movie. (Of course, I was a young teenage boy back then, so who knows if I'd still love it?)

'Smoochie' is very high-up on my list.

Then there's the lesser-known Mel Brooks movie, 'To Be or Not to Be.' The part where the little dog is running alongside the plane is GREAT.. ahh..

And 'Spaceballs' will always have a special place in my gut..
(thank goodness they're making a sequel!)

[Left Is Write]

51. You know what?

You may get teased mercilessly, but I'll take the teasing along with you. "Dumb & Dumber" is one of my favorite stupid movies. Yeah, it's stupid. It's worse than sophomoric - but it cracks me up every time.

After 9/11/01 when I had overloaded on news coverage, I watched "Dumb & Dumber" while sitting in bed eating cookies and popcorn. Pure escapism at its best.

[Hatchling]

Princess Bride
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Scrooged
Christmas Story

[gater]

41. Stripes..."army training sir!"

Johnny Stecchino. Rent it - it's hilarious! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102164/

The Man Who Knew Too Little also majorly cracks me up.

[Digit]

44. Liar, Liar was pretty funny
