Your five favorite comedy films.

[the other mike]

You can usually tell a lot about people by their sense of humor.
(or lack of)

To be honest, I haven't seen many recent movies so my list is just a few off the top of my head, mostly from the 70's to 2000 era.....
with one exception;
The Other Guys (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg - 2010)
after that
8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (Joe Pesci -1997)
The Jerk (Steve Martin - 1979)
A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)

I have about 500 favorites. Narrowing it down to five would be patently unfair to the other 495.

 

[MarathonMike]

In no particular order, CaddieShack, Something About Mary, Life of Brian, Trading Places, Napoleon Dynamite.

This is another fav of mine.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding

This is how her strict Greek dad reacts when she says she's thinking of taking some college courses.

In no particular order, CaddieShack, Something About Mary, Life of Brian, Trading Places, Napoleon Dynamite.

I almost said Trading Places instead of the Jerk.

I really like Napoleon Dynamite, but my teenaged grandkids hate it.
Go figure....

 

[Foreigner Looking In.]

In Bruges is a black comedy, but quite funny.
Tropical Thunder I could watch several times.
Death at a Funeral (British version) is hilarious.
Roadtrip. One of my faves.
Dirty Rotten scoundrels with Michael Caine and Steve Martin.

Winterborn's post #15 before anyone mentioned Blazing Saddles ... kinda makes me wonder about the rest of you ... after that it gets tough for me ...

2] Princess Bride ... I thought it was funny ...
3] Marx Brothers ... pick-'em ...
4] Galaxy Quest ... 6th or 7th best movie in the Star Trek movie series ...
5] Monte Carlo ... David Niven was the best James Bond ... Woody Allen the best James Bond's little brother ...

Honorable Mention ... It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World ...
