Movies that make us laugh.. (no doubt this can help during a tough time) [View all]

I'll start with a few..........Blazing Saddles, The Producers, and There is Something About Mary...

That last one, I doubled over laughing in a couple of scenes..the more, the merrier, and perhaps if you want, tell us why or how it made you laugh. OR...whatever you want to add....if it can pass on some smiles and laughter...
