In your opinion: what is the funniest movie of all time?

[Mr. H.]

Idiocracy is so stupid it's funny.

 

[L.K.Eder]

manos: the hands of fate

 

[G.T.]

Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. (first one)

 

[Liability]

The Jerk.

I was born a poor black child.

All I need is this thermos.

The new phone book is here! The new phone book is here! I'm a somebody.

 

[mudwhistle]

I have to say Blazing Saddles.


What say you?

That was my first choice.

I think Animal House, Caddyshack, Young Frankenstein, and A Fish Called Wanda are good choices.

 

[mudwhistle]

My Cousin Vinny is certainly a leading contender.

That was funny and Tomei looked fine as hell when she was in those pants on the porch, but this wasn't LOL funny. Great lines in there though...

Yutes?

Didn't Tomei win an Oscar for that?

 

[Grace]

Galazy Quest, Rutheless People, The Birdcage, Dumb and Dumber, Overboard just to name a few.

 

[Cuyo]

Office Space, Big Lebowski belong in there somewhere... If you like that brand of ironic humor.

That reminded me of another funny one: Bad Santa

My first guess but Young Frankenstein is also great. BOTH Mel Brooks' movies. to make it a Trifecta, Hear No Evil, See No Evil w/ Gene Wilder who was in the latter movie:

Mel Brooks' "The Producers."

Larry David did a takeoff on The Producers in one of the Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes which was actually even funnier, also starring Mel Brooks and his wife Ann Bancroft as the producers of that "The Producers" play within a play too. (Sadly, both are being funny people from high in the sky now.)

 

[MaggieMae]

Can't think of any funny movies.

I always wondered if you thought Animal House was a drama.
