TV & Film Our Favorite Movie Comedies

[Amy SF]

As I posted in the chat thread, give me a good comedy any day. It's a scientific fact that when we laugh, our adrenaline starts pumping and that makes us feel better. So, if you're feeling lousy, try watching a good LOL comedy.

Here's my list, probably incomplete.
In no special order:

The Great Race
Some Like it Hot
The Court Jester
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
Little Miss Sunshine
Beetlejuice
Auntie Mame
The Errand Boy

 

[Cerebellion]

Blazing Saddles
Any of the Cheech and Chong movies
The Princess Bride
40 Year Old Virgin
Dogma

 

[Amy SF]

Damn I forgot about Blazing Saddles. In which case I should also add Young Frankenstein and The Producers to my list.

Speaking of Gene Wilder, he made a wonderful comedy with Donald Sutherland called Start The Revolution Without Me.

I just rewatched Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part 1 and laughed nonstop. Plus of course Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the Airplane movies, Blues Brothers, Groundhog Day, the Chevy Chase National Lampoon Christmas movie.

 

[Amy SF]

See, I post 'em as I think of 'em.

I also thought of:

A Shot in the Dark
Airplane!
almost all of the Marx Brothers movies, but especially Horse Feathers and Duck Soup
My two favorite W.C. Fields movies, It's a Gift and You Can't Cheat an Honest Man
My two favorite Laurel and Hardy movies, Bohemian Girl and March of the Wooden Solidiers/Babes in Toyland
