your # 1 favorite comedy film

[Bertha Venation]

I'm torn between two: "Tootsie" and "Young Frankenstien." I think "Tootsie" wins, though.

Yours?

I know this thread's been done before but I need to think of funny things. Bet you do, too.

[cheezus]

1. South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

second is probably "some like it hot"

[jedicord]

2. The Jerk

So stupid you can't help but laugh. But then I'm a huge Steve Martin fan from "way back when" he was strictly stand up.

[AlCzervik]

5. I'm picking out a thermos for you!

Love that movie! Lord loves a working man...don't trust whitey!

[Bertha Venation]

8. "King Tut" was stuck in my head all weekend --

if you've gotta have an earworm, funny is the way to go

Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia
he was born in Arizona --
got a condo made of stone-ah
King Tut!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. Serial Mom

[Bertha Venation]

13. THAT was FUNNY!

Patricia Hearst: "No! Fashion's changed!"

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

33. No white shoes after Labor Day!

[slackmaster]

11. Dr. Strangelove

or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

:nuke:

[Speck Tater]

12. What's Up Doc.

[WoodrowFan]

51. Don't you know the meaning of the word propriety?? (NT)

[amber dog democrat]

14. Giggli and Battlefield Earth.

but....The Passion may fit in there too.

[mac56]

15. hi Bertha!

:pals:

Both your choices are in my top 10, but I vote for "Duck Soup".

[Bertha Venation]

17. Hi, Mac... will you still like me if I tell you

that I've never seen "Duck Soup?" :pals: anyway?

[mac56]

20. Of course. Friends till the end.

I kind of envy you for your first time seeing it.

[Bertha Venation]

22. I'll tell you all about it.

In fact, I'll let you know before I watch it, so you can think about a newbie watching it.

:pals:

[StClone]

16. Space Balls

I've seen it 50-60 times.

[WoodrowFan]

52. no no no, wrong poll

that's the answer for WORST comedy.

[StClone]

68. It is a classic

:-)

[SheilaT]

18. A Fish Named Wanda.

I still laugh hysterically whenever I see any of it.

A close second is Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

[MrBenchley]

19. It's A Gift, with W.C. Fields

"I'm looking for a man named LaFong! Carl LaFong! Capital L small A, Capital F, small O, small N, small G! Carl LaFong! Do you know him?"

[ceile]

21. Ghostbusters

I think I can recite the entire movie. Seen it way too many times!
:)

[Bertha Venation]

32. Yes, it's true. This man has no dick.

Great movie.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

37. Isn't this from "Wayne's World"?

(which is also one of my favorites, by the way)

[Bertha Venation]

41. Hi, JC -- maybe, but it's definitely in "Ghostbusters"

Bill Murray (or is it Harold Ramis) says something like "Everything was fine until Dickless here shut down the power grid." The mayor says, "Is this true?" And Bill Murray delivers the answer.

[ceile]

49. My favorite line in the whole movie!

Except for maybe "I feel so funky" after Murray gets "slimed".

[quispquake]

23. The ORIGINAL "Bedazzled"

Dudley Moore & Peter Cook...I saw this the first time when I was 12, and it still cracks me up!!!

Honorable mentions:

Slap Shot (Saw it last year, and it's not as funny as seeing it as a teen, but it's still pretty good...the Hanson Bros!!!)

Animal House

Clerks

[LowerManhattanite]

24. Start Your Comedy DVD Collection With These:

1. Blazing Saddles

2. Some Like It Hot

3. The Producers

4. The Fortune Cookie (Matthau & Lemmon)

5. The In-Laws (The original w/ Falk & Arkin)

An all-timer in the film comedy canon!

:-)

[jedicord]

28. "I think I can see Fort Worth from here!"

Guess my second favorite comedy...

[alvis]

29. Brain Donors

Actually Ghostbusters, but Brain Donors is a close second. John Turturro was great as a Groucho Marx type lawyer.


Roland T. Flakfizer: And that spells cash with a capital...
Jacques: K!
Roland T. Flakfizer: You should go back to school.
Jacques: I hated teaching.
