As in your favorite...not necessarily "the funniest" ever (though it would make sense if you thought they were).

5 seems like it's not enough (twss). 10 seems like too many. So how about 7. Here are mine, in no order:

Dumb and Dumber
40 Year Old Virgin
The Jerk
Blazing Saddles
Spaceballs
Monty Python/Holy Grail
Billy Madison


There are many more I could rotate in and out of the last three spots if I were to make a top ten (like Christmas Vacation, SuperBad, Old School, Something About Mary, etc.), but those are pretty much my 7 favorite comedies of all time. If I had to choose one of them that would be my absolute favorite...meaning I laughed the most, it would prolly be Dumb and Dumber. I laughed throughout the entire movie, start to finish. And I laugh just as much now as I did in 1994 when it came out. I think that says a lot about the movie.

Note: There are some "classics" that I've yet to see, such as Young Frankenstein, History of the World P1, Airplane (well, not all of it at least), so I expect my list to be criticised somewhat.

I definitely should have Billy Madison in my top 7. But at the last minute, I deleted it and put Christmas Vacation.


F it, I'm putting it back.

You gotta have Cheech and Chong: Up in Smoke somewhere.

Pedro: Hey how am I driving, man?
Man Stoner: [looks around] : I think we're parked

If it were a top ten, Friday, Christmas Vacation, and Office Space would likely be my last three.


But alas, it's a top 7.

I definitely like that you have dumb and dumber at the top of your list and blazing saddles in there also.

Not necessarily the funniest or the best, but my favorite 7

Billy Madison - the first movie (maybe second behind Sandlot) that I could quote verbatim. I suck at impersonations but for some reason I could always do Sandler and this movie was sort of associated with my friends and I in jr high/high school

There's Something About Mary - has one of my favorite scenes of all time (the hitchhiker)

Dumb and Dumber - the hardest I've ever laughed at a movie

This Is Spinal Tap! - the funniest movie EVER. Period.

Being There (more of a Dromedy) - just a lighthearted, really pleasant tongue-in-cheek film with a little intelligence

Dr. Strangelove - Kubrick's best, IMHO, and a sickeningly funny satire of post-Industrial America's obsession with war

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - the only movie that can challenge This Is Spinal Tap! in my mind

I've heard good things about Best In Show, but have never seen it.

I'm thinking I need to watch this pretty soon.
