Airplane!
Big
Housesitter

There have been quite a few funny movies, but for my sense of humor two of them really distinguish themselves with brilliant writing, adept physical comedy, and general attention to detail:
The Pink Panther Returns
Lost Skeleton of Cadavra

• Arsenic and Old Lace
• Raising Arizona
• Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill, Jr (Silent Comedy)

The English dub version of King Kong vs. Godzilla. Quite possibly the best man-in-suit movie ever made.

Any dub of any Japanese monster movie is hilarious because of the way the synchopation is off.

I would say it is definitely worth the purchase. While I haven't seen the trailers, I'm sure they can't encapsulate the awesomeness that is the film's dialogue. There are also some extra features on the DVD, including some outtakes that are funny for varying reasons. Having said that, I leave you with this:
"Do you know what this could mean? If we find it... and it's real... do you know what this could mean for science? It could mean actual advancements... in the field of science!"

And the greatest line in the entire film: "I also wonder."

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."

Since it's apparent that we're all about correcting people's mistake, I figure I should inform you that it's actually Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Colon was in the wrong place, you forgot the word "Learned" and "to", "Stopped" should be "Stop", and "Began To" should be taken out.
mitsuki lover wrote:Any dub of any Japanese monster movie is hilarious because of the way the synchopation is off.

You mean "synchronization". "Syncopation" (Not "synchopation") is the shifting of accents in music.

Anyway, Hot Fuzz was pretty much one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, along with Shaun of the Dead. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is another classic.

Has no one here ever seen a Danny Kaye movie?! Sheesh, he puts almost all the movies mentioned so far to shame! :lol: His movies, especially Court Jester, are ingeniously hilarious, and I love them to pieces.... All two of them I've seen << >>

I'm glad someone mentioned Laurel and Hardy, though. They're side-burstingly funny, too. I'm partial to the extremely obscure movie The New Adventures of Laurel and Hardy: For Love or Mummy.

And the Andy Griffith show is really funny as well. I love Don Knotts!

Though my absolute favorite part of Court Jester was when the one girl is telling the king she has a horrible disease. And I think I like the "duchess and her dirk" dialogue better than the "vessel with the pestle."

Yeah, those parts are good. One of my favorite parts is when he's demonstrating how he knows all these different languages, Spanish, Italian, and German and stuff, and then he says, "In other words: Why tarry?" And of course the parts where people keep snapping him in and out of his trance :lol:

Oh yeah "A Christmas Story" is especially funny.

When the dogs, from the nextdoor neighbor, steal the turkey.

When that one kid sticks his tongue onto the ice-covered pole. They had to call medical assistance to get him off that pole.

Also at the end of the movie where the family goes to a chinese restaurant for Christmas dinner. And the chinese people sing christmas music wrong.

You should watch this every year on Christmas day, there is a marathon of the movie that runs all day.

After looking at the qoutes above, I have come to this conclusion......I am not the only one who thinks Court Jester is a classic...

I've got one more to add that I recently watched.....Arsenic and Old Lace...

....Yeah, it's Dark comedy, and it's probably one of the only movies out there that make me go insane from laughter while creeping me out at the same time....
