Good comedy movies?

[brewizard]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned The Blues Brothers. There is also A Fish Called Wanda. And Tootsie is still great. I would also recommend Wag the Dog if you like politics and The Player if you like movies.

[pogokat]

for something most probably havent seen...

 

death at a funeral was very funny...

[Glennron]

I can't believe we had to wait til reply # 22 for Mallrats. I've only seen about 5 Kevin Smith movies, but that is by far the funniest to me. Black Sheep is my favorite Chris Farley comedy, it's always over-shadowed by Tommy Boy.

[Oldcity]

Don't know how I forgot about Mallrats. Absolutely an all-time favorite. I have not seen Dogma for whatever reason, but hopefully that will soon change.

[madbad2000]

Anchorman for sure....

Zoolander

 

Recent film that I loved.... Hot Rod...very funny.

I've seen a bunch of Adam Sandlar, but my personal favorite is Mr. Deeds

"You've underestimated my sneakiness" is one of my favorit quotes of any movie

[Big Ern2440]

Clerks 2 - Hilarious

Office Space

Tommy Boy

American Pie

Caddyshack

[Gobias Industries]

Anchorman

Waiting for Guffman

The Big Lebowski

 

I tend to think dark comedies are actually funnier a lot of the time. Coen Brothers and Paul Thomas Anderson type of movies I guess.

[jordanmuehl]

Going in Gobias' direction, everything about John C. Reilly's character in Boogie Nights is just hysterical.

[brettac1]

He's also very funny in Magnolia.

[Point Beer Is Best]

I'll second everything that has been mentioned thus far (with extra emphasis on Dirty Work), and will mention another favorite of mine: Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "Orgazmo." Baseketball was decent as well.

I'm not going to be able to add much for modern films, although I have an undying love for Groundhog Day.

 

While I'm at it, for true classics, I recommend trying Buster Keaton. In addition to the comedy bits, the stunts are great and stand up to this day. And there's something to be said for the old fashioned way of doing something like a train crash. Film a real train crashing. There's a free public domain site of Buster Keaton's films here.

robert,

 

THANK YOU for that Buster Keaton link. I love those movies! Very underrated in my opinion and very funny.

[tyguy20204]

 

Charlie Chaplin, City Lights.

[dadofandrew]

I forgot to mention Grumpy/Grumpier Old Men, which are especially funny if you grew up in a small town.

[tnweill]

I also would mention "Spies Like Us". Big fan of Chevy Chase movies.... Caddyshack, Three Amigos, etc.

[GAME05]

pretty much any Chevy Chase or Dan Akroyd movie.

 

nice call on City Lights. my second-best movie ending of all time.
