[BluRmGrl]

ooooh fuuudge......

"...Except I didn't say 'fudge'. I said the Queen Mother of all curse words."

Other good lines:
"Fra-gee-lee ... must be Italian!"
"@#$(@#* .... Bumpusses!!!"
"Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra ra-ra-ra-ra!"

[EmilyBono]

Zoolander, even though most people I know think it's stupid, and The Big Lebowski - I could watch it every day and still be laughing!

I like Office Space a lot.

For comedies, I actually prefer British TV shows to movies.

 

[maro_chik]

Comedies from my childhood will always have a special place.

Dumb And Dumber
Sister Act
Mrs. Doubtfire

And then there's the ones that are just plain good:

Monty Python And The Holy Grail
The Meaning Of Life
Just about any John Hughes/Brat Pack movie from the 80's
Bad Santa (that was a surprise favorite)

And I'm probably forgetting some obvious ones...

 

[bayernfc]

I can't think of a favourite...... maybe Airplane!

 

[AvsGirl41]

Ooh, this is a tough one!

Anything by Trey Parker and Matt Stone...
Galaxy Quest
Wayne's World

 

[IWasBored]

arsenic & old lace. i think i hate everything else frank capra did, or at least everything else that i saw that he did (yes, that means i hate 'it's a wonderful life'. i do, i really can't stand that movie, and i might put a boot through the tv if i ever have to see it again). but cary grant kicked ass in it, and it's just really funny anyway.

and also based on a play,of course...i really like both the 1952 and 2002 versions of the importance of being earnest.

...pretty much any monty python...office space...

i watched dodgeball last night, that made me laugh....

rushmore, the royal tennenbaums, and bottle rocket rule

this is a quite difficult question. i quite enjoy laughing.

Young Frankenstein. Every home should have a copy.

I agree! I also love Wayne's World, Spaceballs, Sister Act, Zoolander and my new favorite Dodgeball.

I'm not sure if Jackie Brown is a comedy but some of Tarantino's lines in this film are HILARIOUS! Not to mention the subtle character nuances and situations.
