[Little Star]

2. (What’s The Story) Morning Glory....

Just recently watched it on-demand. I don't know if it's my all time favorite but it had me laughing out loud in some parts. What's not to like about Dianne Keaton and Harrison Ford??????

Here is a link to a review.

3. You've just named two of my favorites...

The Ref and Dr. Strangelove are wonderful. Let me add The Inlaws (Arkin-Falk original version) to the list.

4. Where's Papa?

[Gabi Hayes]

11. poppa.....and how did ruth gordon not even get nominated for best actress?

the scene where he sings "Every little breeze seems to whisper louise"......

I always wanted to know how many takes that took

5. Toss up between So I Married An Axe Murderer and Soapdish.

I also have a lingering childhood love for The Princess Bride, L.A. Story and My Blue Heaven.

6. First movie that comes to mind...

whenever I'm asked this question is My Cousin Vinny. There are a few more I like...but this is definitely at the top of my list. Doesn't matter how many times I watch..I still laugh.

7. Slapshot, period

then Animal House

and then about 50 others........

[Maccagirl]

8. Tootsie

Sublime, with incredible writing and performances.

[mucifer]

12. "A Night At The Opera" Marx Brothers.

[bikebloke]

13. A Day at the Races also by the Marx Borthoers.

[hifiguy]

14. Duck Soup and Animal Crackers

with the Marx Brothers, in fact pretty much all of the Brothers Marx through "A Night At the Opera"

South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut (first time I saw it I was laughing so hard during "Uncle Fucker" I thought I was gonna have a heart attack)

Animal House

A LOT of Laurel and Hardy, especially Big Business (perhaps the funniest single thing ever committed to film) and The Music Box.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. 3-way tie: Airplane, This Is Spinal Tap, and Dr. Strangelove

[Lionel Mandrake]

18. Those are all parodies and all very funny

"Airplane" is an obvious parody of "Zero Hour" (1957).

"This Is Spinal Tap" is a parody of rock documentaries.

"Dr. Strangelove" is a parody of "Fail Safe" - both the novel and the movie.
Poor old "Fail Safe" never had a chance after "Dr. Strangelove" opened first.
Final score: Kubrick 1, Lumet 0.

[sarge43]

16. The Lady Eve n/t

[grasswire]

17. Victor Victoria

No matter how many times this question is asked, this will always be my answer.

[Taverner]

19. The Big Lebowski.

I can't remember a movie that had me laughing so hard - and I can watch it over and over and its still funny every time.

[applegrove]

20. I've never seen it. I should rent it.

[Ohio Joe]

21. Shaun of the Dead

Doubles as my favorite zombie movie :D
