Title: Movies: All time favorites (Comedy) Post by: Tenshot13 on November 09, 2015, 04:30:29 pm D4L and I were discussing this in another thread. Sound off a list of your favorite comedies all time. I figured we could do this for other genres later like horror, sci-fi, drama, etc.
Favorites in no order: Happy Gilmore Napoleon Dynamite The Big Lebowski Office Space Caddyshack and if I'm going old school: Some Like It Hot (1959) Title: Re: Movies: All time favorites (Comedy) Post by: dolphins4life on November 09, 2015, 04:34:37 pm Down Periscope

There's Something About Mary Dumb and Dumber Office Space The 40 Year Old Virgin Superbad Ferris Bueller's Day Off The Hangover 21 Jump Street Shaun of the Dead Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Bridesmaids Napoleon Dynamite And there's a bunch of other stuff that I love that are comedies by IMDB standards, but I don't consider them as such: Back to the Future, Juno, Toy Story, Stranger Than Fiction, etc. Rarely do I love straight-up comedies. I usually like funny movies contained within a dramatic story.

Title: Re: Movies: All time favorites (Comedy) Post by: dolphins4life on November 09, 2015, 05:29:59 pm Just curious why some sequels (HB2, PA4) are there, but not the first in the series. i.e. I find HB way more funny than HB2. Clue is very underrated and a great flick. I have been a clue-aholic since I was very young. My family used to play the board game so often in the summer when I was growing up. We also played the VCR version and computer game version. I saw the movie and loved the book series. I first saw the movie when I was very young. I was too young to understand almost all of the jokes. I was disappointed because I thought it would be a movie where the viewer would get to try to solve the crime at the end. I watched it again for the second time in December of 2012. It was hilarious now that I was old enough to understand the jokes.

Revenge of the Nerds Title: Re: Movies: All time favorites (Comedy) Post by: CF DolFan on November 10, 2015, 09:08:41 am There are many classics I really like as in Blazing Saddles, Animal House, Caddyshack, Monty Python, the Jerk, etc. to name a few ... but very few movies made me laugh as hard as Porky's, American Pie, There's Something about Mary, and Hangover when they came out. The Sweetest Thing and Bridesmaids were pretty good as well.

Title: Re: Movies: All time favorites (Comedy) Post by: Sunstroke on November 13, 2015, 09:43:28 am You guys have already popped most of my favorite comedic cherries, but there are a couple on my list that haven't been invited to the party yet: Caddyshack Blues Brothers Animal House Coming to America Superbad Airplane The Big Lebowski Groundhog Day Blazing Saddles Zombieland A Fish Called Wanda Dr. Strangelove… The Birdcage Ferris Bueller’s Day Off There’s Something About Mary Young Frankenstein Title: Re: Movies: All time favorites (Comedy) Post by: Rich on November 13, 2015, 01:40:39 pm Has anyone mentioned Idiocracy?
Or is that more of a documentary than a comedy? Title: Re: Movies: All time favorites (Comedy) Post by: DaLittle B on December 23, 2015, 11:01:58 am Most of mine got hit...
Ferris Bueller's day off,Caddyshack,Spaceballs,Planes,trains,and Automobiles,Shaun of the Dead,Coming to America,etc. Great ones already mentioned.. For me it might not be the funniest movie,it can be quotable,it resonated with me for some reason,or maybe some thing I just really liked as a kid.(some of them I've seen Sooo much I'm not so in love with them,but still have place in my heart) BeetleJuice Time bandits The World According to Garp <-- all time favorite movie regardless of category (long story) Weird Science With Honors The terminal My Cousin Vinny This Is Where I Leave You <- most recent,had no expectations,I was bored.I watched it,and loved it... Death at a Funeral - in the same vein as above... The Great outdoors the Princess Bride I'm done for now Title: Re: Movies: All time favorites (Comedy) Post by: Sunstroke on December 23, 2015, 01:07:23 pm With Honors It definitely had its funny moments, but I don't think I would categorize this as a comedy. Outstanding movie, and one of my "personal favorites," but I think it is more of a drama than comedy. Joe Pesci definitely kicks major ass in his role though. Title: Re: Movies: All time favorites (Comedy) Post by: DaLittle B on December 23, 2015, 01:33:14 pm ^ Yeah,it's a comedy stretch,but IMBD listed it as drama/comedy.When I hit My Cousin Vinny,it said related with honors (Both are in my DVD collection)
The Jerk All of Me Two more I forgot... Title: Re: Movies: All time favorites (Comedy) Post by: Dave Gray on December 23, 2015, 02:11:29 pm Not on this list:
40 Year Old Virgin This is the End 21 Jump Street (REALLY Funny, if you've not seen it) |
