3. blazing saddles
4. stir crazy
5. see no evil, hear no evil

I love Richard Pryor. He's my favorite comedian (and maybe person) of all time but I'm stunned you would pick that one instead of nearly anything else he has ever done. I mean some of his concert films would make my top ten and I love Stir Crazy and even Jo Jo Dancer. Interesting/odd pick to me

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Arrested Development: the Movie



so good I dont need to see it to know

 

[fistfulofmetal]

When you originally had Groundhog Day I thought it was a clever play on the term "timeless"

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Ghostbusters

/thread

 

[AlexMogil]

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Planes Trains and Automobiles
Young Frankenstein
Some Like It Hot
The Pink Panther

Hey, Stoney, how could you leave one of the best out?

 

[BotoxAgent]

Spinal Tap

 

[Stoney Mason]

Hey, Stoney, how could you leave one of the best out?

Which one? Young Frankenstein?

I actually had it listed at first and then though of another and erased it to move it down on the list and then forgot to put it back.

No, not Young Frankenstein

 

[Stoney Mason]

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Planes Trains and Automobiles
Young Frankenstein
Some Like It Hot
The Pink Panther

Those two would definitely make my top 10.

 

[greatestjediever]

Kentucky Fried Movie

"Take this one to Detroit!"

 

[AtticusFinch]

Some of my favorite classics:

 

[Stoney Mason]

No, not Young Frankenstein

Oh I get it now.

Well I like Office Space but to be honest that one would be quite a bit down on the list. Same with Idiocracy although I like both still.

 

[beelzebozo]

mel brooks's cheesy sense of humor never gets old to me

cause it's one of the richard + Gene Wilder movies along with blazing saddles and stir cazy. as much as i love young frankenstein and richards work i had to pick the ones where they are both together.

While Idiocracy can be entertaining it gets stuck in itself after a while with one ""lol, stupid" joke after another. Office Space, on the other hand, I find a refreshing, entertaining and warming comedy about the modern society and being bored.

This.

 

[Ventrue]

 

[TGateKeeper]

space balls??

 

[beelzebozo]

that young frankenstein footage made me very sad that gene wilder is dead

edit: or is he? wow, i thought he'd passed on. yikes

 

[bud]

that young frankenstein footage made me very sad that gene wilder is dead

what? when did this happen?

 

[beelzebozo]

it didn't, i'm just stupid. must have been thinking of his wife

 

[Stoney Mason]

Office Space, on the other hand, I find a refreshing, entertaining and warming comedy about the modern society and being bored.

I can see it. Hollywood Shuffle is like the black version of that to me in some ways so I think in both cases it's a little bit of personal experience being the filter through a film.

 

[whytemyke]

You guys are going to hate me but I really think that 40 Year Old Virgin will be in this list eventually. I keep rewatching it and I think it's getting better every time. Only movie in the past ten years that I think deserves a mention here. I know some will say Little Miss Sunshine, and I'll retort with Weather Man... but still.

 

[Vgamer]

1. Naked Gun
2. Dumb and Dumber
3. What About Bob
4. Three Amigos
5. Christmas Vacation

the weather man is one of the weirdest comedies i've ever seen. a lot of people hate it, but that movie has its moments--cameltoe, omg.

I don't necessarily disagree (on the 40yo virgin part). Although for me Little Miss Sunshine doesn't belong there. It's a cute little flick but I thought it was a touch overrated.

I find the very early Farrelly brother films like Dumber and Dumber and maybe Something about Mary to still be suprisingly funny although I have a real appreciation for low brow humour done well.

probably like him more because of the office. i should watch it again. haven't seen it since way before i watched all of the office seasons.

You scared the hell out of me you bastard :lol Not that he really does anything these days, but still...

 

[Bahzing]

The Great Dictator

I've not seen many Chaplin movies, but this one is great and deserves its place in the timeless comedy category.

 

[MercuryLS]

Happy Gilmore is the only one I can watch again and again and still love every moment of it.
