WAITING FOR GUFFMAN literally left me gasping with tears rolling down my eyes the first time i saw it. i remember halfway through i had to just sit there with my mouth open because it hurt to laugh any more.

lol.... looks like that would be a good choice then

thanks

"Young Frankenstein"
"This is Spinal Tap"
"Start the Revolution Without Me"
"La Cage a Folle"
"Bananas"
"A Day at the Races"

any "monty python" movie, especially "holy grail"
napolean dynamite
tommy boy


there are more, i just can't think of them now. but those are the important ones.

depends on who i'm with.

if i watch a movie with my mother and we're both in the right mood
every movie can be hilarious since we're like those two old men on
the muppets, commenting all the way through and making up our own,
twisted sick neurotic plot.


given actual 'funny' movies i don't really know. perhaps if i could
count Absolutely Fabulous' "The Last Shout".

i usually laugh most at things that are meant to be serious and am
not in the least amused by so called comedies.

i remember a long time ago when Liar Liar with Jim Carey was in the
theatres, i went with my best friend and everyone was laughing at
all the lame jokes and we were sitting there being NOT amused.

then there was a sad part with a horrible clown and a kid crying and
my friend and me rolled on the floor laughing. we were eventually
told to get back in our seats and shut up or please leave the show.

Oh my, i don't think i laughed once in either one of them!!!

Aww come on! no one has mentioned Blazing Saddles? or History of the World Part 1 or Airplane ( the first one) now these have some adult humor in them mama so you need to screen them.

Top Secret was funny as well and the Police Academy movies.

The Gods must be crazy had me crying ohmigod that badger was hilarious

TEAM AMERICA made me laugh hard...when they opened the panther cages to kill the good guys and some kitties came running out, i thought i was gonna keel over.

Everything i`ve seen by the Marx brothers makes me laugh

Bringing up baby (two of my fav actors, they were great together)

The first wives club (so funny!!!)

The Beverly hillbillies (yes, i know it`s corny, but it`s FUNNY)

Some like it hot (i`m a Monroe fanatic, she was a brilliant comedienne)

The great dictator (who could not laugh?)

Tommy Boy starring Chris Farley and David Spade.
