I watched The Wedding Crashers last night and you may not be suprised to know that it is poo. I didn't expect to much of it but I was reliably informed that it was one of the funniest films of last year.
Being disappointed by unfunny 'comedies' is something that happens quite often for me, so can you pleeeaase recommend something that is actually funny.
Thankyou in advance for your co-operation in this matter.
Kind Regards
Mr I. A. Jones
that is a shit film
i suggest three:
basketball
blazing saddles
airplane
if these dont tickle your ribs, i suggest checking yr pulse.
If you mean Baseketball,
that's the biggest pile of dung I've ever endured.
Clerks/.
I didn't like Clerks much
Although i do like Kevin Smiths other films
fair enough.
Dodgeball
DODGEBALL.
^^^ speaks truth
i thought it was going to be awful but i laughed all the way through.
Rushmore
The Life Aquatic
Withnail and I
This is Spinal Tap
Best in Show
Clerks
Heathers
^^^all true
i love rushmore.
Here's a few
Happy Gilmour
Best in Show
A Mighty Wind
This is Spinal Tap
Coming to America (Eddy Murphy - unreal)
This is Spinal Tap
funniest film ever.
For sure
I watched it again this weekend and was laughing to myself before it had even started!
Happy Gilmore
is ACE.
Happy Gilmour still gets me laughing
I love em all.. sigh
seconded rushmore
rather predictably...
big lebowski
planes, trains and automobiles
anchorman (better than dodgeball)
It's good, but better than Dodgeball?
Tough call...
i laughed out loud
(or LOLed as the kids call it these days) more in anchorman, rendering that the winner...
you've gotta go with anchorman over dodgeball
anchorman is ridiculously ridiculous. wasn't too impressed with dodgeball, apart from the line about being "as useful as a cock flavoured lollypop"
whereas anchorman has so many quotable lines, as shown by the fact that there was an entire thread here a few weeks ago made up of stupid lines from it.
Big Lebowski seconded
also, O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Yes, Withnail and I is goooood!
Withnail & I
Airplane
Two of the funniest films ever.
the last film to make me laugh lots
was spongebob squarepants.
also try bad santa.
*resists temptation to quote Withnail and I*
I still find Monty Python films hilarious after god knows how many watchings
Happiness
Erm...im not too sure about comedies...i like them...just dont know what ones i find funny.
Mean Girls
I nearly bought that for
a fiver from Waitrose last night, despite knowing nothing about it. Would I have been making an error?
no mean girls is great
and has that girl in before she went all hollywood but after the thing where she was her and her twin.
Thora Hird?
whora turd
You're a turd
warty herd
lindsey lohan
when she was still hawt.
It is really great.
i <3 mean girls
best 'teen comedy' ever.
Or jsut go buy every Wes Anderson film.
Especially Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic.
The Royal Tenenmbaums kind of failed me a bit,
as did The Life Aquatic, which I had SOOOO been looking forward to seeing.. great films but I wouldn't call them 'comedy'.. as such.. noir comedy
no
they're wicked. tenenbaums is a bit serious tho
All of my family
didn't like the life aquatic and my brother's a wes anderson geekface. I really liked it though and i was all on my own.
Yeah I like Wes Anderson
I think I'd like to see more filums which are like his.
I think Life Aquatic is his best. Anything with Bill Murray in it is going to float my boat.
Anchorman
Yeh Man!
Anchorman is seriously funny!
Highlander 2 made me laugh more than any other film ever!
I'll never cry tears of laughter for an hour and a half in my life again
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102034/board/flat/3570454
i knew the guy who wrote that film.
SFX once said that "the script-writer must have watched the first Highlander in a drunken haze". having met the man, he probably did.
hahaha
the man deserves a medal for coming up with Planet Zeist
Naked Gun
You've seen it before but it's still amazing.
Anything with Vince Vaughan in really...(except maybe Wedding Crashers, like you said).
The remake of Psycho wasn't *that* funny
ummmmm
Bowfinger is surprisingly hilarious.
Team America, ofcourse
Bad Taste (one of Peter Jacksons early films, its amazing!)
I hated mean girls, me and my friend were left feeling really, really pissed off when it ended.
ooh and
these are more teen comedys but-
Pump Up The Volume
Empire Records
Romy and Michelles High School Reunion
Thanks chaps
that's a pretty bonza response. I think I'm going to add Best In Show and Blazin Saddles to my list. I think I've seen most of the rest.
Swingers
Go see.
Have you seen
Kingpin? That's really funny
how about
evil dead 2
clerks
the monty python movies
the producers (original)
napoleon dynamite
team america
south park: bigger longer uncut
american splendor
happiness of the katakuris (but be warned its bloody weird)
......
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalow
Funniest film I've watched in years.
Just go and buy the Mighty Boosh boxset.
Not a flim, but super funny. An aquired taste though, I think.
Otherwise I'm gonna also shout up for Happy Gilmore.
Haha
Not a flim.
It's not you know.
Yay
definitly South Park!
Meet The Parents made me laugh lots.
Babs is awright too, in Meet the Fockers
I laughed in a few bits of that - the Jewish centric plot.
Dungeons and dragons 2
Not supposed to be funny.
I laughed like never before...
Ah, comedy films
Possibly the main reason that I have no life.
My favourites in no particular order:
The Graduate
Annie Hall
Dr Strangelove
Holy Grail / Life of Brian
Airplane
Naked Gun
The Producers (good version)
Blazing Saddles
Ghostbusters
Caddyshack
Groundhog Day
Network
Big Lebowski (or pretty much any other Coens film)
I'll think of more in a bit...
[fact]Dumb and Dumber
Team America
Anchor Man
Old School[/fact]
kingpin
anchorman
jay and silent bob strike back
the cable guy
planes, trains and automobiles
old school
groundhog day
airplane
dodgeball
meet the parents
happy gilmore
school of rock
The Jerk
The Man With Two Brains.
troof
old steve martin > new steve martin
No one has
mentioned "the Odd Couple". Well its down now. Its a classic.
I'll probably get slagged off
but The 40 Year Old Virgin is actually really good. it just depends if you like the silly american teen (well it would be teen if he wasn't 40) comedy.
Mallrats
My Cousin Vinny
Hot Shots
most of the best ones have been said, really.
I
t's a mad mad mad world.
any thing with john candy
in it
All but the 2 cheapest
and best Matt 'n' Trey films have been mentioned!
If you can find it, "Cannibal! The Musical" is hilarious, but oh so cheap.
And the follow up: "Orgazmo", about a mormon who inadvertantly becomes the world's most famous pornstar.
Also, movies that are laughably terrible:
Gigli
You Got Served
Battlefield Earth
Anything by Ed Wood.
Team America
is just brilliant. Probably better than South Park the Movie, and that's saying something.
Mystery Men also made me laugh quite a bit.
A Mighty Wind.
just all kinds of perfect.
the party
